Well, I've been asked by many how the Seattle Gift Show was. Well, I'd say that we held our own and represented Alaska in the fine light that it is.
It was very exciting to meet buyers and exhibitors. Apparently the show was smaller than in past years. I suppose that is to be expected. Now, on an individual bases, speaking with retailers from the Seattle area, I'm told that sales are steady and that they are doing better than what the media is portraying.
In lieu of the weakened economy in the lower 48, I decided to drop the soap prices by $1.00 ea bar in an effort to do our part. With that, we are taking a cut and are not including in the bars the extra cost of shipping that Alaska has to deal with. (extra barge and another truck shipment) Prices will be re-evaluated in January 2010 and may need to go back to what they were one week ago. My intention is to give you the best value for your $1.00, and if there is any way that we can continue to keep them where they are, then that's what we will do.
Candles are priced at lower 48 prices already, so, they will stay where they are.
Getting close to Valentines, so, don't forget about your sweetie....now, good nite all.
