ESL Podcast 224 – Holiday Promotions
时间：2019-02-04 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
My boss asked me to come up with some holiday promotion 1 ideas so that we can make inroads into the gift-buying market. For us to stay competitive, our company has to increase retail 2 sales for this important sales cycle. My boss is expecting some innovative 3 ideas from me.
Since we’re an online business and not a brick- and-mortar store, we can’t just put signs in the window or do other types of traditional advertising 4. Lucky for us, though, consumers are increasingly computer savvy 5 and are more likely than ever to buy online. That’s something we want to capitalize on.
Like other companies, we’re willing to slash 6 prices to attract holiday shoppers. We have a large inventory 7 and we don’t have to worry about running out of stock. The trick is, how do we increase sales without resorting to gimmicks 8? Dressing 9 up salespeople 10 to look like Santa Claus may work for some businesses but not ours.
I’m just hoping that I can come up with some fresh ideas to jump-start this sales season. I know that my boss is counting on me.
