With the new year now in full swing the state of the economy looms large in everyone's thoughts with the common belief that there is yet worse to come for the UK. We are all aware that there will be difficult times ahead but we have to continue to be positive. Conrad Dempsey, Sales Director, for Jaybill wholesale is confident this will be a productive year for them.
Jaybill, the wholesale division of JBI Ltd, has been in business for more than 65 years and has seen economic downturns come and go. Their experience in the wholesale industry has taught them not to panic in these situations and to continue doing what they do best. Conrad emphasised the importance of providing a well rounded product offer, excellent customer care and after sales support and believes these are the essential ingredients for success in the wholesale environment, especially within today's current climate. "It is more important than ever to ensure your customers have confidence in your products and service. We are also part of a major footwear group and are in a sound financial position, this is something we can be proud of and our customers can take comfort from." Conrad also believes that their commitment to investing in their top performing brands and having a sourcing team continually developing a full spectrum of footwear products at competitive price points has ensured they are well equipped for the year ahead "Our footwear is, and always has been, extremely competitively priced and I believe this will help to bring in more business over this period as small chains and independents look to streamline their costs wherever possible without compromising on quality of their footwear offering" Early signs from there regional shows go some way to proving Conrad right as sales have been very promising with a lot of business being picked up from new customers.
If you browse the Jaybill Spring Summer 2009 catalogue you will see a wide range of footwear available including their successful brands The Leather Collection, Platino, Princess Stardust, Dinosaur Hunters and Rockstorm to name a few. This year also sees the second edition of their new Dr Keller brochure, a brand Jaybill have invested in quite significantly as it has proven to be one of their top performers for over 10 years. Jaybill know this will be an important 12 months for the company and the UK as a whole, but with continued investment in their in-house brands and their reputation for excellent customer service there is an optimistic mood around their head office in Rossendale.
