What did the profit margins reveal?
Probably that they are screwing over the public far less than the public thinks they are.
Apparently the big two usually run after all costs taken into account, store rent, staff wages, transport etc etc etc. Allegedly the profit margin generally runs about 5-10% off all products.
So the profits are usually based around just sheer volume…still doesn't stop their capitalistic freight train express though…
So do you print out the attachment and count that as the 'card' or is it a card that you have to physically pick up elsewhere? Isn't entirely clear in the post. Otherwise sounds pretty good
Not entirely clear if they will accept printed 'cards'. I'm pretty sure that most check-out staff would just scan the barcode but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the odd one decided to consult with the manager who might reject it.
Anyway, it'd cost more than $5 in petrol for me to get there but many others who live nearby could benefit.
Not exactly a bad thing if your already shopping at chadstone, or go there with friend/family
I know, it's just that finding a place to park at Chadstone is such a hassle; the thought of that puts me off going there.
Yeah and then you got to find the shops you like lol
They have experienced a massive backlash on their Facebook about their "because we all buy meat" campaign. Scroll down through the comments and take a look.
I don't know what they were thinking going ahead with a campaign like this when there are so many vegetarians/vegans around. Poor marketing.
Seems like a small but recurring bunch of people posting angry comments on the wall. .
Just added my voice to that bunch. I'm not a vegetarian, but I find the "we all buy…" campaign offensive. It just reinforces outdated stereotypes to raise Coles profits. Changed my buying habits & now know where "we all buy…" - Coles competitors!
yea i agree, the "because we all buy" campaign is not smart at all..
Yeah it gets my goat too coz we dont all buy cereal Im 100% carnivorous
I might shop at Aldi and save $30 - $40 go Aldi
just buy the item on sale that have discount 50%, then pay using gift card that you purchase with 5% discount + this $5 off, then you are the winner. when coles / Woolworths do their sales 50%off++, i think their price is cheaper than aldi price.
whoop de doo.
I know about the Gruen Transfer parody…but I'm waiting for someone to do a 'We all buy anti-depressants' parody…because everyone on the ad seems so damn happy, I can't figure it out…
10% isn't much…
But for Coles it's a huge saving (according to their published profit margins)! Plussed even though I live way too far from this store!
