HI Saul,
We’ve never met but from “way” over here in Hamilton I’ve admired and enjoyed your commercials for many years. I plan to visit your store soon but wanted you to know how I love your radio adds. You obviously “get it” with regards to retailing.

HI Saul,
We’ve never met but from “way” over here in Hamilton I’ve admired and enjoyed your commercials for many years. I plan to visit your store soon but wanted you to know how much I love your most recent spot with mention of Mark Mandlsohn’s service-oriented commercial.
You two obviously “get it” with regards to retailing- I wish that more our electronics dealers would understand that low prices are not the answer to consumer’s needs.
I work closely with Mark on our Panasonic advertising and merchandising and he speaks highly of you and your advertising philosophy. I trust we will meet one day soon.

Best Regards,

Hey Saul,
Just getting home after a long day.
Wore one of the suits I picked up from your store yesterday...it’s funny, when you look good, you feel good and everyone else around you feeds off that energy. Even got a couple of compliments about the suit. You can be assured that I let them know where I got it, that I certainly recommend your Roberto line and that Franco and Jerry looked after me so well and made me feel comfortable.
I’ve only got one problem… the next time you see me (in the not too far future), Franco or Jerry are going to have to show me where the staircase is… I’m coming for the Canali and the Boss I have my eye’s on.
Keep up the great work you do, not only in the store but everything you do for the people and community outside it.
Warmest Regards,
Brad Sproxton,

Hi Franco
Just a quick note to thank you for all of you help last Saturday March 1st. It was my wife Susan and I first visit to Korry's and we were very impressed with the service provided. The detail that Sam gave when fitting my suits and two pair of slacks too the shirts and ties I purchased the attention to detail was outstanding. I look forward to doing business with Korry's in the future.

Hi Saul:
I sent you an e.mail yesterday only to discover it was returned undeliverable. Anyway here we go again.
After listening to your ads for several years on the FAN, I finally made my first visit to Korry’s last month and bought 2 Roberto suits, 3 shirts, and 3 ties from your son Michael. When I went back to pick up the suits I bought 2 pairs of pants (he’s a good salesman). Yesterday my wife and I had several errands to run, including picking up the pants at Korry’s. I decided to dress very casually in nylon athletic pants and a zip sweat shirt and said to my lovely wife M»line (pronounced May Lynn), just watch this will be the day I meet Saul Korman looking like this!
And sure enough we walked into the store and there you were … doesn’t that just figure. Anyway, you are very gracious and it was a genuine pleasure to meet you after hearing your ads for all these years.
Thanks very much for the stories and the hats.
I look forward to shopping at Korry’s again soon.
Cheers,

Good Morning Saul,
Thanks for a great shopping experience. Normally I dread shopping for menswear because I end up dealing with staff that has no idea what they are selling. You and your staff are very professional and courteous which made the task of buying a suit a lot of fun. I will definitely be back and I have already told a bunch of my friends to go to Korry’s.
Going on the radio was also a great experience . . . maybe it is my big break for stardom.

Thanks

From: Peter Glumac
Saul:
First let me begin with an introduction, my name is Peter Glumac and I am from Port Elgin (approximately 4 hours from Toronto) and a first time Korry's customer. I keep hearing your ads, so I skeptically visited your store on the Danforth to see first hand what all the fuss was about. Well, aside from the great selection what hooked me onto your establishment was your knowledgeable and courteous staff who simply made me feel at home. Normally, I expect a certain degree of customer service but let me tell you that you have managed to exceed everyone of my expectations. I hate dropping names except in extraordinary circumstances but I have to tell you that Christina Jordao managed to both impress me with her customer skills and her honesty. She spent a lot of time helping me through the process and never once did I feel rushed or pressured, which is such a feat in today's fast paced, every minute counts world.
I rarely provide this type of feedback to a company, so on the rare occasion when it does happen I believe that you thank those who were responsible for the experience. So I thank you for seeking out the best employees and to Christina who delivered it to my level. You are now my exclusive clothing supplier.

Thanks,
Peter Glumac

Hello Saul

Well we have heard your advertising on the radio and finally made it to your store. We weren't really sure where you were located on Danforth so we had to stop and ask a lady on the street, I think we startled her just for a second until she realized we just wanted directions to Korry's. We were quickly pointed in the right direction and arrived to find a most pleasantïand welcome atmosphere.
What a great idea, have a couple of drinks, brouse, talk and shop. Why don't you sell women's clothes too?
We have never been in a store, where youïfelt like you were visiting, more then shopping. What a great time!
I know we are coming back for sure. Great selection of clothing, styles, sizes, colours you had it all and of course we had the best service, Saul himself.
Saul say hello to Mike from Coppley and please remember your invitation to Scotland and dinner at Devlins with us, looking forward to seeing you both again.
Have a great day!

I recently purchased a suit from your store and thought that it was important to give you feed back. The experience was a pleasure and I got what I was looking for. Your ads on morning radio do pay off.

Subject: My Roberto Suit is on the Toronto Board of Trade Membership Directory

Hi Saul:

I was one of the people appearing on the cover of the Toronto Board of Trade’s 2008 membership directory which is distributed to it’s entire membership base (approx 10,000 members).

Of course I wore one of my Roberto suits, a Roberto shirt, and a tie all purchased at Korry’s.

My wife M»line’s Christmas party is coming up so it’s a good excuse for a new suit – I’ll be in shortly.

Cheers,
Greg

Hello Frank,

Just wanted to send you a thank you for a great buying experience for my new suit, shirts and ties. I picked up my suit yesterday and your tailors did an amazing job. As someone who is a very unique size (46+ short), I was impressed by the alterations done by the staff. The fit is great, the look is great.

Thank you again for a great shopping experience, I will be back.

A NICE CHANCE MEETING WITH SAUL KORMAN OF KORRY'S CLOTHIERS...(.HEADING)

I NEEDED A NEW SUIT SO I DECIDED TO GO TO KORRY'S , 569 THE DANFORTH . JUST ABOUT EVERYONE HAS HEARD SAUL ON THE RADIO DOING HIS UNSCRIPTED COMMERCIALS. I NOW KNOW ..WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET.

I APPROACHED SAUL AND INTRODUCED MYSELF ...IMMEDIATELY , WAIVED TO HIS FRIEND AT THE TABLE TO GIVE ME HIS CHAIR ...I HESITATED BUT SAUL INSISTED. "HERBAL TEA" HE ASKED . BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING TEA ARRIVED AND A PLEASANT CHAT FOLLOWED.

THEN , NOW KNOWING I WAS A NEW CUSTOMER, HE ASKED.."WHO'S UP"....FRANK SMITH ASCENDED IMMEDIATELY AND OUT CAME THE TAPE MEASURE. NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS BEING USHERED INTO SAUL'S OFFICE AS IF IT THAT WAS A RIGHT OF PASSAGE . SAUL WAS LIKE A MOTHER HEN AS FRANK DID HIS THING TO BE SURE I WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. SOME 3 SUITS , 2 PAIR OF SLACKS, 3 TIES AND 3 SHIRTS LATER I MET HIS MASTER TAILOR . IN NO TIME AT ALL I WAS DONE AND AT THE CASH WITH CREDIT CARD IN HAND. ROBERTO. SAUL'S MANAGER, HOVERED A BIT TO BE SURE ALL WAS FINE ...AND IT WAS . THEN SAUL'S SON APPEARED AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE HE COULD DO. " A NICE PAIR OF THOSE SHOES WOULD BE SWELL" I SAID. MY SIZE NOT IN STOCK I WAS TOLD. ....BOY DID I LOVE THOSE SHOES...NEXT VISIT THEY WILL HAVE MY SIZE .."SEE US IN JAN ..YOUR NEW SHOES WILL BE HERE" SAID THE YOUNGER KORMAN AND ROBERTO.

SEVERAL DAYS LATER , I RETURNED TO THE STORE TO PICK UP MY PURCHASES ...THERE WAS SAUL AGAIN BUSY BUT NOT TOO BUSY TO WELCOME ME BACK AND NOW PROMOTING ST. MAARTIN ..HIS FAVOURITE VACATION SPOT . "YOU HAVE GOT TO GO THERE GORDON M" HE SAID ...".YOU WANT A DEAL ? JUST LET ME KNOW ".

Saul

Thank you to you and your staff for the outstanding service you provided last week.

I needed a new suit for the opening of the Regent Theatre in Oshawa on Saturday night, and came in Thursday to pick a Copley suit with Franco. I ended up taking 2 suits and they were tailored by Friday afternoon, and I enjoyed a great event in style.

Cheers!
