On my way to the bus stop, I saw that Kurt Geiger had the sale racks out tonight...and busy too. Who just sold it? Barclays Equity...but to who...I can't recall.

You can retail 2 ways.
1; mainly markdown events BUT the markdowns are built into the full selling price, therefore one is not as competitive during non sale events as one could be.
2; minimal markdown as your full-selling price is the correct price all the time. Markdowns are the iffy colours, awry styles and, perhaps (we don't do this though) the leftover sizes.

Head office staff should spend a month (no, not a day or a week) full on, on their shop floors...absrb the sentiment out there.
