SUBJECT : November Sales Report

I am happy to report that the overall November sales showed a 28 percent increase in our kitchen , laundry and air treatment appliances sales of 298 units , or an

increase of 112 units

Take note that our fast movers last month were kitchen appliances which recorded about 30 percent increase from a sale of 228 units October 's sales were only 176 units , or an improvement by 52 units

Meanwhile , our laundry appliances recorded a 50 percent sales increase compared with the previous month 's record . November sales were at 111 units compared to October 's 74 units or a net increase of 37 units sold

On the other hand , our air treatment appliances , such as air conditioners and dehumidifiers , recorded almost a 50 percent increase from a sale of 71 units last month compared with previous month 's sale 48 units or a net improvement of 23 units

Overall , we have an impressive peformance . But I would l like to point out that three product lines failed to climb in the sales chart

I therefore recommend that a sales analysis should be made on the performance of dishwashers , gas ranges and dehumifiers which recorded negative sales growth last month . External factors could be the cause which we have no control , but I still recommend that more in-store promotions for the product lines particularly this time of the year when people are buying consumer durables for their kitchen .
