Camponi Fashions Inc

Question 61

Essay

Camponi Fashions Inc. gives its sales consultants an allowance of $2,000 for purchase of clothing from the current line of products. Any purchase beyond this allowance can be made at a 15% discount. Due to an economic downturn, the management reduces the clothing allowance for the upcoming year to $1,000 and the purchase discount to 10%. When the company returns to normal profit levels in the future, the original allowance and discount would be restored.
Required: As a sales manager of the company, write an email message conveying the change in policy for the upcoming year.
The following guidelines should be followed while writing the email message:
a. Use a neutral subject line written inductively in proper format, with a neutral statement or observation that does not reveal the "bad news" or lead the readers to unrealistic expectations.
b. Provide specific details of the past clothing allowance and discount policies. State how these policies have benefited the company and the consultants.
c. Review the current financial difficulties the company is experiencing.
d. State the specifics of the new allowance and discount policies in the middle paragraph in passive voice.
e. State the company's commitment to restore the previous policies once normal profits return.
