Getting my first pair of quality shoes and shopping for my shoe care products (have nothing currently). Does anybody know where to find horsehair brushes in Perth or on Australian online stores?
In the Fin Review Myers is announcing a big cull of middle management and Myer shares are down 33% since January. "..managing cost and focusing on service..."
DJs is cutting back on discounting after worst slump in 20 years. "Prices in June July were cut 30% to 70% but consumers stayed away"
Analysts say department stores have been losing market share to specialty retailers for years.
me:: Online information is part of this but also remember Australians are possibly the biggest travellers in the world. People from Australia see what is overseas and react.
If memory serves me correct there was an article in the FR last week about why people are staying away from the Myers and DJ's one reason cited is that they have had a gut full of perpetual sales and it appears that these perpetual sales have devalued the brands in the public's eye. .

^^^ You say cheap, but you got to tell us how cheap. And hows the coat?
Here's an idea that has got me - every time i walk through a shopping centre, nearly every shop has a HUUUUGE red sign out the front with 50%!!!! off - sorry I mean up to 50% off - I know they are running 75% margins on retail, and if it were actually 50% off, then it would be a fair enough deal to pay their rent, staff etc, but I am completely over the up to 50% sign when in reality there's 6 items at deep discount, nd the rest is same old - I've lost the faith in a sale.
As to the article above and the differences for those that read, the first thing i can think of, is one counted foreign currency transactions as their measure and the other counted transactions with more detail - I buy plenty overseas, and a lot is simply charged in AUD, even though it came from the UK - eg the largest retailers of bike parts in this country are Wiggle and CRC - both can charge you in AUD, both are definately UK based
