So they shall soldier on and hopefully make some inroads towards improving their financial situation.

Golly.....some fine spirited people here.

Love the work Mooney Man. Anyone witha business plan that relies on an expectant uptake of only 30-40% uptake must solely be relying on a whim and a prayer.

and if the uptake is 50% +, then we're all screwed for basically trading insolvent.

Oooooh I here some of you mutter.........never thought of that !

Clareprop, In retailing your 'loss leader' is designed to leave you with stock, usually purchased at a special price, which you can sell at the conclusion of the promotion at a higher figure.
With 'gift vouchers' at such a fixed price, they become a liability because there is no telling when they will have to be honoured. Already, fuel costs alone have increased since the promotions were run. I am sure also that the landing fees advance payment debacle will have been adjusted, so that will now be an extra cost. Who is the winner? - scoopon of course who get their cut for doing very little especially if direct debit is used!
I reckon the whole thing has been a little bit unethical and was a grab for cash!:=

Re Scoopon, all vouchers issued would have a use by date (I would hope) so they don't last indefinitely, and we don't really know what RACWA's COST of a TIF is so it's pretty hard to know if the price is below cost or not. Plus, part of the cost of the promotion would be applied against marketing I would suspect.

worth it?!
 

Considering that the tiger(s) have reportedly over 700 hours worth of scoopons sold and the current level of activity at the club......

Not to mention the conversion of wannabies to students from the open day...

Maybe it is all worth it?!:ok:

Reminder for RACWA members......

An 'Information' Night meeting to be held at RACWA at 7pm Wed 6th April.

This meeting to acknowledge the award of 'Life Membership' to esteemed member Mr Brian Hernan, and then acknowledgements to other members who have contributed.

Following will be an Information presentation, and questions from members will be taken by the committee....

Cheers:ok:

Well done Brian. What a stalwart. http://www.smilies.our-local.co.uk/i...es/worship.gif

Info Night
 

Well done to Brian on his "Life Membership"...a true testament, and a real "life membership".

Not much else to mention from last night........

pretty lack luster really.......

same info, same droll........


Oh except....RACWA LIVES!!!!:ok::ok::ok::ok::ok:

the flames have been burning, pprune scored a mention, but at least the club is still there and things HAVE turned around.

I would suggest that Murray Korff and David Currey have both been vindicated!!!!!!!!!

Great turn around from the open day, TIF's and new students, a fresh breath has blown through. A few hurdles to jump next...looking forward to the instructors painting those walls hahaha.

I must say, all in all, appears that the club is now in a realistic frame of mind...one or two more to "move on" then we shall all be back on track.

Well done all:D:D

Some 'Customer Service' from the Front Counter staff wouldn't be a bad thing either. They certainly don't make you feel welcome in the 'Club' at all...

No 'Hello', 'Goodmorning' etc etc on first contact, with most staff head down with their eyes firmly fixed on the computer or mucking around on their iPhone or even worse discussing their after-hours plans with each other whilst clients are kept waiting for service...

Before I get 'shot down in flames' I am no a loyalist to ANY organisation at JT however RACWA could take a leaf out of other operators books along the strip...

BB :ok:

Old Brian Hernan, there is someone who gets around. In another life he taught me cartography at leederville technical college!

I never even knew he flew :)

Hey Burkie,

You should come thru the doors 'These Days'......

A 'welcoming smile' and a greeting is now the order of the day......:ok:

Yes...well for me at least....'Things' have improved, and the gals and guys are quite 'on the ball'....;):cool:

Perhaps U should smile and just say 'Hello'.....I'm BB, and I wonder if U can help me...??:):)

Cheers:ok::ok:

How is WAAC coping with the strong Aussie dollar hurting them ?

The same as every one else I guess.

Map1
 

The strong Aussie dollar has affected WAAC for years and no one woke up to that fact! They are about 22k pounds more than competitors in the UK? Why would anyone come to Perth, other than the weather, for this premium price>
Surely- a product's pricing is the FIRST step in launching a product?
Not worth marketing with this difference.

We do see, in the past three months accelerated awareness and marketing which must help WAAC and Racwa. No one, really, know they existed before-in the wider public and business world. They have two really good top operators in marketing now which is better than the former CEO's secretary (?) handling-marketing???? Didn't happen in Alllan Hoffmans day nor in John Douglas's day. All quite sad and silly really

And-we see that there is some movement on Murrayfield? An Air Park to be sure. Will it be timely enough to keep the bank from putting in the receivers?:D
