5th November 2002 COBRA Fashion Update Twice Retail has launched a new "combined sales" module as an addition to the standard functionality of COBRA Fashion. This module enables the user to gain a better view of the buying behaviour of their customers. Reports can be generated which indicate what products are bought in a particular combination. Combinations of up to 4 separate articles are possible. With these reports, common combinations can be quickly identified and presented in a commercial manner. It also enables you to see if articles which were bought to be sold in a particular combination were actually sold in that combination, sold separately or in a different combination altogether. This data can help you change the presentation of your products, and so achieve your targets. Analysis is also possible at a higher level (group and/or colour level) about, for example, how often are trousers sold with T-shirts or a skirt in combination with a blazer and scarf, or what colours do your customers actually combine. COBRA Fashion brings you a unique analysis tool, which can be used by both your buying and sales departments. For more details, please contact us.

November 2002 - Charity News. Rhian Watson, left, a local osteopath (who helps keep the wheels of Greybeard turning!), was one of a number of UK ladies who took part in the Friendship Run, part of the New York marathon, which took place in early November 2002. They were raising money for Breakthrough, the breast cancer charity, via an organisation called Walk the Walk, which runs fund raising events throughout the year. The ladies 'power walked' the course, wearing attire suitable for their chosen charity! Greybeard Consulting Limited were pleased to provide Rhian with some sponsorship for this worthwhile cause. You can see some more pictures and visit the Walk the Walk website.
