Short Talk 240 (Listen and Read)

Before we wrap up today's meeting, there's another item on our agenda.

As you're all aware,

our new line washing machines has received fantastic feedback from customers.

While our overall profit margins haven't returned to last year's peak,

the initial sales figures for this model have been promising.

During my discussion with the executive team earlier this week,

they expressed confidence that our soon to be released line of energy-efficient dryers...

will generate similar consumer enthusiasm.

This means we need to ramp up our marketing efforts.

I'd like each department to brainstorm at least one innovative marketing approach

that can be presented at our next strategy session on Thursday.
