54% reduction in product expenditure that reflected a major renegotiation with the business’s suppliers to support the business in the launch of JaxstaPro free campaign;
-
23% reduction in advertising even though digital marketing budgets were increased to ensure the JaxstaPro free campaign was promoted to a broad base of potential users;
-
31% reduction (being a $305K cash saving) in staff costs driven by a headcount reduction, the CEO waiving 50% of her salary for the quarter and further assisted by the Government’s Covid-19 relief packages, including PAYG cashflow boost, payroll tax reductions and JobKeeper; and

64% reduction (being a $209K cash saving) in administration costs of which approximately $75K was from the Directors unanimously waiving their fees for the quarter.
