Pre Season Sale '08

Since I work from home, sitting alone at a computer for most of my work getting a chance to get out and really work and be with people is actually fun for me. I only got to unload boxes for a couple couple of hours each day but the team we have setting up the sale this year has been working like dogs. Now, Friday afternoon we are just about to lock the doors to open at 9:00 tomorrow moring for the annual Labor Day Pre-Season Sale.

The Sale weekend is one of my favorites weekends. Everyone, staff, reps and customers are all so excited for the coming season. It is as much a social gathering as a foraging expedition. The biggest problem is that with that much merchandise and confusion you can walk out with stuff you don't need and forgetting what you do need. The key is to have a list and a plan before you walk in. If you spend a little time thinking about what you need (see my previous entries about investment buying) you will be prepared when the snow flies - hopefully it will be early this season.

Hope to see you at the sale or on the slopes!
