Phone Sales 

"keeping the retail dream alive!"

Interesting read in today's copy of the "Business Day" in the SMH. Where Carolyn Cummins reports that retail landlords are experiencing sales growth above the rate of inflation. She attributes this growth to "higher-margin mobile phone stores and food courts".

Carolyn reports a 20.5 per cent growth in mobile phone sales, while department store sales dropped 8.2 per cent in the past nine months.

This growth in mobile phone sales is not confind to stand alone Mobile Phone retailers. Our valued retailers in "General Route" have also allowed Jenlist Distributors to experience close to 30% growth in handset sales in the past year.

With all this talk of "Smart phones" in the market it is interesting to note that Australia has the second highest global smartphone usage. Yet probably only 1/3rd of all phone users have a smart phone.

The major carriers are also only just starting to talk bout the 4G networks, which will bring a new wave of must have handsets to our shores. So if you aren't already selling handsets, "what are you waiting for?"

Want to WIN $1000 CASH???

During October and November 2011, Jenlist Distributors will be running an incentive on Nokia handsets. For this period if you buy one of our two Nokia handset packs, you will receive 1 x entry for the Base Models Pack $520.27 incl GST and 2 x entries for the Top Sellers pack $737.54.

Prizes up for grabs are 1st Prize $1000, 2nd Prize $500 and 3rd Prize $250. There will also be a $250 Prize for best merchandised Nokia display, where you can email photos to me @ simon@jenlist.com.au

The Nokia brand is still our leading handset seller with 57.29% of all our handset sales in the last three months being a Nokia handset.

The last draw we did like this had 64 entries, so by buying one of these packs you get great odds at winning some of the $2000 worth of prizes up for grabs.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations to Anton from Redhead Newsagency of NSW, for winning the 43" Samsung Plasma TV in the draw. There was 64 entries in this draw, which is bloody good odds.

The other 43" Samsung Plasma TV was awarded to Jim & Joan Swan from Jetty Village Newsagency from Coffs Harbour, who sent in a great presentation of their two Optus cabinets and $2 SIM dump bin, that had prime location in the middle of their store with a great selection of Samsung handsets on display.

Jim informed me that his last TV had just blown, so this came at a perfect time.

Well done to both winners and thank you to everyone who go involved.
