Let's face it. We've entered some very tough times around the entire globe. In many articles, I have focused on taking aggressive measures to build quality traffic and build sales. Profits in tough times can be enhanced with reductions in overhead. In fact, watching the pennies on the cost side can often compensate for dollars in lost sales, when traffic is soft. When looking at cutting costs, the secret is to look at them in shades of grey. In other words, retailers must look at cutting costs like pruning a tree.

Expenses must be eliminated without losing the positive effect that your business has on the community. The first approach to shaving expenses is to use what I call "the acid test".

The acid test is although blunt and brutal, it's also pretty simple:

"Classify expenses that contribute to the customer experience and those that do not..."

Obvious examples of the former would include store signage and merchandising strategies. An expense that would not enhance the customer experience might be an expensive subscription service to a specialized newletter that comes month after month that everyone stopped reading a long time ago. If you look around your store or chain, you'll find many things that may be reduced or eliminated to cut costs without compromising the customer experience.

Here are some examples:

-The watering service that comes weekly to water your plants in the stores and the office

-The collection of subscriptions to trade magazines and newsletters that no one bothers to read any more

-The delivery costs you pay for to get your office and store supplies delivered

-Your courier account that everyone uses fr all those emergencies

-The high premiums you pay on your company vehicles because of your low deductables

-Hiring professional painters to paint the staff area when perhaps some employee or employee's spouse can paint it for a third of the cost

-The energy consumers that rack up electrical expenses such as the shipping terminal that's on all the time, the terminal in the manager's office and the stereo system that runs all night after the store is closed

-The window washing service that could be done by a staff member in 10 minutes

-Buying a new printer cartridge for $45 every month when you can refill the current one up to 20 times for about one quarter of the cost

-Reducing the number of deliveries from the Home Office from say 4 times a week to 3 times a week.

-Adopting a cheaper third party long distance service to replace the pricy one attached to your current phone

-Evaluating your current store cleaning schedule and changing the frequency to cleaning every other day and carpet cleaning to every 6 weeks instead of monthly.

Opponents to trimming costs can rationalize that every expense enhances the customer experience. Today's retailer cantrim many expenses like the examples outlined that really don't affect the customer experience directly. What does it all mean?

It means that in these tough times, a little extra effort by everyone on your team can go far to trimming unnecessary expenses without compromising the customer experience or the motivational level of the employees. Trimming those trivial expenses that have crept in over the years can help ensure survival and prosperity in these tough times.

Take Action Today

1) Develop a list of those parasitic expenses that have crept into your business at all levels.

2) Brainstorm with all staff and build your list of expenses that can be eliminated

3) Offer rewards to staff that suggest expenses that can be eliminated thus improving the bottom line

4) Get staff to put in the extra effort when these expenses are eliminated by setting an example yourself. Roll up your sleeves!

Hiring a Van, Then Get the Right One

So you’ve realised that you need to hire a van? Possibly it’s because you’ve decided to move house the D.I.Y. way, or you've just got some furniture to move, or maybe you need a larger vehicle for a short while for work. Whatever the reason it can be hard to decide on exactly what type of hire van you need, and as prices vary greatly according to the type of van you hire it's important to consider exactly what type you need before you compare van hire prices. So here's a short introduction to the types of van that are commonly available for hire to help you find the right one.

Small Vans for example these are the Ford Transit Connect or Vauxhall Combo.
These are the smallest vans available (not much bigger than an estate car, though slightly taller) and as a result the easiest types of van to drive, particularly as they often have good rear visibility. Such vans are ideally suited to carrying box goods, washing machines or small items of furniture. Their carrying capacity is normally around 800kg or so, and their dimensions of the load area is typically around 1.7 metres Long by 1.5m Wide and 1.2m tall. Often used for small flat moves (be prepared for multiple trips), or by plumbers, electricians and others.

Medium Vans for example the Ford Transit, Volkswagen Transporter or Renault Traffic.
These are typically classed as SWB (short wheel base) vans, and offer the next step up from combo type vans. As a result they are still fairly easy to drive and manoeuvre, but offer more substantial load capacity, typically up to 1.2 tons and a load area of around 2.4 meters long by 1.7 meters wide and 1.4 meters high. Such vans are popular with courier companies and D.I.Y. chains, a good choice if you need more room than a combo van but aren't used to driving large vehicles, along with good fuel consumption they are fairly cheap to hire as well.

Long Vans (Long Wheel Base Vans) for example the LWB Ford Transit and Renault Master.
These are the traditional large vans (often owned by "white van" men), they normally offer the best payload capacity at around 1.5 tons and a generous load area of around 3.4 meters long by 1.7 meters wide and 1.4 meters high. However these are large vehicles to drive and as a result are less manoeuvrable and with poor fuel consumption (larger engines to pull the weight). This is probably the largest size van that a "car driver" should consider driving, really your best option if you need a large van suited to almost any task. But remember to take it easy on bends and secure your load.

Extra Long Wheel Base Vans for example the Mercedes Sprinter XLWB or Transit Jumbo.
Think of this as a stretched LWB van, the largest traditional panel van available. However it's generous dimensions of 4.1 meters long by 1.7 meters wide and up to 1.8 meters high (large enough to carry a roll of carpet - part of the design specification), mean terrible manoeuvrability and poor visibility. These are more expensive to rent due to the increased insurance costs and their own weight means a reduced payload of 1.4 tons. Only rent this type of van if you really need that extra length, maybe you've got a lot of carpets to move!

Luton Vans
These are a completely different type of van altogether, and unlike traditional vans are more like a small flat bed truck that has had a box fitted that stretches over the driver's cab. You've most likely seen these used for smaller house moves which is a task that they are perfectly suited to, as well as for
larger or numerous deliveries. They generally have a load area of 4 meters long by 2 meters wide and 2 meters or more high though their size means their payload is only around 1.4 tons along with poor fuel consumption. If you are planning a full size house move this is the van you will need, however remember this is almost a small truck you are driving.

All the above types of vans can be driven on a standard UK driver's licence, so now you know what type of van you need start by going to a comparison site for van hire and shop around for the best deal as there are over 600 van rental depots in the UK it' is well worth checking prices.

ford courier van 18d engine/fuel problems?

hi my 1999 ford courier 1800 diesal van (not turbo) when my van is facing upwards on a hill from cold the tank on the lower part of the hill,its very hard to start. it will fire and then cuts out after about three or four times it will start up if i keep my foot on the gas.when its facing down hill. it will start first turn.and then after that it runs fine.i do think it is some sort of fuel fault or air getting in somewhere. can anyone advise me ?
also had a new fuel fiter on a few months ago

Yes, it is probably a tiny leak allowing air in. Thus the fuel drains back to the tank and needs to be pumped back up again before the engine will come out to play; the fact that it's fine facing downhill reinforces this, in those conditions gravity is keeping the fuel forward.
