What would a small DIY or hardware shop sell?

User Avatar

Asked by Hayleyjarvis

A small DIY hardware shop should sell a small selection of power tools including drills, circular saws and other handheld saws. It should also have a variety of nail sizes, screws, plumbing fittings and tapes available. There are a lot of items that go into DIY projects. If you have a small section of wood available and offer a cutting service, that is likely to drive in more business. General home items such as hammers, screw drivers, pliers and buckets should also be available.

Can proper business etiquette be relayed through body language?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it can be as simple a strong, firm, handshake to begin with. Looking at the individual you are conversing with and maintaining eye contact. Standing or sitting straight with arms and legs uncrossed are indicativetive of an open mind and paying attention without being guarded (arms crossed, legs crossed, or ankle on knee). Also, listening shile the other person talks with interruption, many people try to finish another speaker's sentences of interrupt with an anecdote or information they feel is pertinent. Do not interrupt someone who is speaking to you or a group. Concentrate on the topic being discussed without dividing your attention between the speaker and a cell phone, laptop, tablet, doodles, fidgeting, etc.

What is the average sale-related bonus in luxury brand in the UK I need to come up with a proposition of a percentage I'd like to receive from sales in a luxury brand shop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That would really depend on the commodity and its margins, plus the equation relating to the employee's salary.

Some luxury end stores offer their employees a 2% incentive for each and every item they sell. But there are benchmarks where their percentage can increase dramatically based upon their performance. This incentivises the employee to exercise their most creative selling skills to get repeat customers returning, international customers calling from abroad, depending upon the employee for virtually everything, rather than dealing with other merchants around the world.

So a 2% base, once they've sold say £500 or £1000 increases to 3% and the 3% increases to 4% once they've sold say £2500-3000, and the 4% increases to 5% retro to the first sale of the month (and deducting any returns, of course), and finally, offer an annual incentive for any employee who sells at the 5% commission more than 8 months out of twelve, that they receive a bonus of £1,000. This last equation helps you reduce turnover as they're constantly waiting in hopes of achieving the performance bonus.

Some haberdashers work on a base 4-9% incentive for everything sold, plus occasional incentives for item specific sales, such as a line of suits you're hoping to end and don't want any tale ends remaining, or incentives for bespoke tailoring, etc.

Restaurant staff are often helped with bonuses on the puddings or desserts sold to dining guests. Incentives can run as high as 25%, depending on the product margins.

The last methodology, which has worked the best for some of the most famous retailers in the world, is that the staff are retained as value associates, rather than simply employees and their base pay is 30% higher than the basic high-street wages. But with that higher pay comes much higher expectations which include teamwork, commitment to serve, dedication to objectives, and a professionalism unequalled. That professionalism is backed up with appropriate professional training and development.

Many stores who operate in this manner motivate staff by holding twice or quarterly, associate events, such as a posh dinner somewhere, a theatre night event, a 2 night mini-cruise, a Eurostar trip to Paris for the weekend, etc. Or a spa day at one of the many spas around the country.

Who started hallmark and why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first known use of hallmarks were in England in 1773. It was in effort to standardise a conformity to legal standards of purity. Archaeological hallmarking has been identified as early as 1300 when no gold or silver could be sold without the King's mark (or hallmark) stamped upon it. Following the King's mark, came additional marks to identify the goldsmith by their mark or 'hallmark.' Impressions of a key, or a fish, were among the earliest and later replaced by the goldsmith's initials. In the 18th century came regulations to include the place of origin - London, New York, Boston, etc.
