TERRACE STANDARD

~ Business REvVIEw

Locals rack up mega-Miles

LOCAL PARTICIPANTS
in a reward program for air-
line tickets or other services
collect more than those
living in similar size areas.

Local collectors have, on
average, 1,176 Air Miles on
their accounts compared to
853 Air Miles for those
living in Prince Rupert and
780 Air Miles for those
living in Cranbrook.

And there are twice as
many redemptions for ser-
vices in this area than Prince
Rupert or in Cranbrook.

The number of total trans-
actions to date is also high
here compared to the other
places.

Terrace collectors have
used their cards 1.4 million
times compared to 780,000
times in Cranbrook and
873,000 times in Prince
Rupert.

Air Miles officials say the
relative isolation of Terrace
and area compared to other

Terrace a hot spot for the Air Miles program

“There are enough Air Miles in Terrace
to fly 1,800 people to Hawail — that's the
equivalent of four jumbo jets.”

places may act as an incen-
tive for people to sign on to
the program and then partic-
ipate in a big way.

“There are 8,500 collec-
tors in Terrace {and area)
out of a population of
19,500,”” says John Wright,
the vice president of Loyalty
Management Group which
runs the Air Miles program,

‘That's pretty good,” he
added.

Prince Rupert has 6,500
collectors while Cranbrook
rings in at 6,233,

Terrace and area also
ranks high with 87 per cent
of collectors signed up using

their cards regularly,

In more dramatic terms,
roulliplying the number of
collectors here by the aver-
age number of Air Miles on
each catd comes to 10.2
million Air Miles in this
atea.

“There are enough Air
Miles in Terrace to fly 1,800
people to Hawaii — that’s
the equivalent of four jumbo
jets,”” says Wright.

Wright says British
Columbia stands out in the
nalion as an active Air
Miles region with approxi-
mately 990,000 people
signed up.

““Western Canada is very
active as a whole and B.C,
is one of our better markets
-— right behind Alberta,” he
said.

All told, there are 4.3 mil-
lion households in Canada
which have Air Miles cards.

Businesses buying into
programs such as Air Miles
do so in the expectation
their revenucs will increase
as people seck to gain a
benclit in return.

Wright says that’s been
the case with the loca] Reit-
man’s siore here as more
than 13 per cent of active
collectors have shopped at
the outlet since it signed on
to the Air Miles pragram in
February.

Air Miles got its start in
the United Kingdom in 1988
and was introduced in Cana-
da in 1991.

More than 1.8 billion Air
Miles have been issucd to
date and 2.6 million people
in Canada have collected

Metal cladding tubed

COUNCIL won’t let a commercial/apartment building go
up at 4433 Lakelse Ave. near Apsley with metal cladding
on the upper portion.

Councillors told the developers at a planning committee
meeiing last Thursday they’re insisting on a more altrac-
tive facade for buildings on the main street.

Lawrence Stella accused council of operating with a dou-
ble standard, and pointed to the Kondolas concrete block
building on main street as an example. He said the city
suggestion of a stucco finish would mean costly delays.

the requirement would cause costly delays.

The Rap is back

THE REPAP RAP employee newsletter about what’s hip-
pening ai the company’s Terrace operations is back after
an absence of several years.

The publication is eight pages in length and contains a
number of items about the operations and its employees,

Among other items, the newsletter notes that the sawmill
uptime average was 94.17 per cent for the second quarter

an aot this year, a tad higher than the goal of 93 per cent.

“Production was 66,781 cubic metres, down frcm the
budgeted 79,810 due to a loss of operating days,

Japan accounts for 54.9 per cent of the mill’s shi-ments
with dimension lumber coming in at 25.6 per cent and
China and Taiwan at 7,9 per cent.
