Did your store’s sales increase or decrease over last year? To what do you attribute your gain or loss in sales? What will you do to either maintain your growth or to reverse the decline?

Six months ago we opened other shop, and together unfortunately they now as one earlier worked.  The second shop allowed us to sell better snowboard product in the summer it works worse than the first. Now demand for soft skateboard, footwear fell. 

If you could go back five years what would you do differently?

I consider that we do everything correctly, we work 10 years, during this time in Krasnodar and Russia many shops opened and closed.
