The owner of the studio where I work would step over a dollar to pick up pennies....
She's been crying "no money" for months, but right before Christmas had a sprinkler system installed in her gardens, both at work and at home(her husband just rolled his eyes).
She needs new clientele, but when I printed out a flyer offering "Loyal Customer" rewards, she said she had something like that already. Actually, it was "loyal customer" dollars we handed out in September, and I think we got back maybe three. Her husband, who runs the school, wedding and sports of the company, thought my idea was terrific, pointing out to her what hasn't been happening while money's being spent. It fell on deaf ears.
She spent over $800 on a mailing to sports leagues, hiring out to have it done instead of having us in the office do it. Not one response.
I suggested taking the latest flyer and placing it on a local community bulletin board-that's free advertising. She said no.
This is a woman who says she has a degree in marketing.....
Today I was told that if we don't get some new business quick, "You'll be laid off". She had better meant the collective "you"-I'm not the newest employee.
