KPI's

Monthly sales compared to the same time last year are up dramatically. We actually wondered if there were issues in the data but came to the realisation that we all must have been in lockdowns this time last year.

Year To Date Australia is still up 4.8%. NZ is down 4.5%.

Sales compared to last year June/July

Australia: +27.55% / +61.75%
New Zealand: -14.05% / +69.6%

Pricing Restructure

On October 1 we are changing our pricing model to make it simpler. The good news is that it will not increase prices and for very small stores and groups it will reduce the price.

We are cutting the store base fee from $100 to $50 p/m. This means the first turnover addition will start after 50k p/a rather than 100k and additional sites in a group will only add $50 rather than $100 to the monthly total.

Help Document Improvements

We continually update the Circle Help Document but lately we have had a big session on improving the layout and language.

The document is shared to comment so you are welcome suggest improvements and corrections if you see an opportunity.
