NZSIA Executive Committee

At the recent meeting of the NZSIA the Chairman presented his annual report. Confirmation was made of the current executives continuing on for 2013 with the addition of Mark Carter of Anderson & Hill.

As required, Adrian Farnsworth stepped down as Chairman. A vote of thanks was given to Adrian  for the work he has done in the four years he has been Chairman. Most importantly Adrian brought the issue of the De Minimis to the attention of the NZRA and NZSIA and has continually kept the focus and pressure on it during his term.

Jay Marshall was nominated and accepted the role of Chairman for 2013.

 

 

The Chairman's Thoughts

Sports Goods Retailing for 2012

 

Consumers continue to be driven to hunt for deals and discounts online. For many consumers, this has now become a game; the excitement of chasing a deal and the perceived control of extracting the last dollar discount possible is almost more important to them than the goods themselves.

For those who are expected to lead retailing in the Sports Industry and continue sponsorship and brand marketing, whilst maintaining a profitable and sustainable business, it is becoming harder.

We must accelerate the technical knowledge of our sales staff and continue to develop the reasons why the consumer must value the expert knowledge and professional service, which comes from dealing face to face as opposed to a  computer screen and the unknown.

For those of us that are working hard for our Industry and the quest to keep retailing fair and honest, we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a very successful 2012.

 

Adrian Farnsworth

Chairman
