Through channels that I, um, will refrain from mentioning at this time, I have in my hand a intranet article from Babies 'R Us that discusses their baby registry, including the following statistics:
Approximately 75 percent of BRU's business is driven by their baby registry.
On average, 39 percent of the total registry value is purchased.
A registry completed including everything on BRU's "Must Haves List" will be approximately 15-17 pages long and will have a value of approximately $8000.
On another page, it gives some possible customer questions about TRU's baby registry and appropriate answers for the "associate" to give, followed by an "associate" true-or-false quiz. Knowing virtually nothing about BRU's baby registry, let's see how well you do:
Baby registry printouts are only available at the story where mom registered.
If they wish, a guest's registry can be made available at the babiesrus.com website.
Baby registry is free to our guests.
Items that are discontinued cannot be added to a registry.
Seasonal apparel may not be available when family or friends are ready to go shopping for the expectant parents.
Items such as gowns, body suits, side snap shirts [sic], and cap & booty sets are among the layette items recommended for a registry.
Guests are always invited to attend our Baby Fest Weekends and Baby Registry Seminars.
Babies 'R Us is the only company that offers baby registry.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
