What Religion is Your Bra?

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said; "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife. "
"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?"
"Look around," said the saleslady as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from."
Relieved, the man asked about the types.
The saleslady replied: "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?"
Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.
The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...

The Catholic type - supports the masses

The Salvation Army type - lifts the fallen
The Presbyterian type - keeps them staunch and upright

The Baptist type - makes mountains out of mole hills"

They forgot the German bra;

Analysing your business - Part 5



Having said all that I have in the past blog posts, trade shows are the best times to see and meet brands and industry people that you do not normally or regularly see, so make sure you have enough time scheduled in to see them. Do some searching on the internet prior to shows and make sure you have read your trade magazines. It is also the time to see the trends and colours for the oncoming seasons. So walk the isles, look out for newness and talk to the new brands or brands you do not currently deal with, you never know you may be pleasantly surprised. Introduce your self to the trade magazines ask them what they have found that new and exciting and find out all the latest news. You need to know what is going on in your industry, Be pro active, think ahead...
