	Improvements in-store for Next
		Although Next had a decent year - with group sales up eight per cent to £3.2 billion for the 12 months to January 27 - its store sales had been a growing concern as the like-for-like numbers again came into negative territory with a fall of 7.2 per cent.
		What Next hopes it will deliver is a reduction in the decline in like-for-like sales in the first half of this year to between one and four per cent, and for them to possibly hit positive territory in the second half.
		By adding more interest into Next and getting its stores business back on track Wolfson will be hoping that the group will become less reliant on the Directory (mail order and internet) business to impress the City with its sparkling numbers and divert attention away from the poor store sales.

		The original purpose of the program was to give the DC editorial and marketing staffs the opportunity to ask selected retailers (in a very private environment) about what they thought of DC's efforts during the previous year, and to explore how DC might be able to improve in the future.
		DC bases its criteria for invitations more on the capacity of given retailers to innovate, and to bring an open mind to the discussions, than on how many stores they might have, or how many comics they sold last month.
		In closing, I would ask you to take a moment to thank your local comics retailer the next time you see him, or her at work.
