 Growth Company Investor : Jessops   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Growth this year, even surpassing strong comparables from 2004, was driven by increased digital camera sales and Jessops’ gains seem to have arisen because of its early focus on digital photography, resulting in its strong links with manufacturers and a credible high street reputation.
In order to compensate for difficult market conditions in 2005 Jessops established exclusive deals on some camera models, of which 16 were run over the festive period.
Jessops’ other price-led promotions over the Christmas period meant in-store products were competitive even with internet rivals and, although obviously lower-margin than normal pricing structures, are expected to stimulate increased return custom, particularly for photo development, which has much higher margins than hardware sales.
