Volume 2, Number 7
Hope you are all finding some time to enjoy the summer as it is
flying by. Most of you have now received the new Red Flannel™ pet food
line in your stores, and hopefully this will spark your pet food sales.
Don't be afraid to open up bags and make up samples. Don't forget to tell
people about the frequent purchase cards.
The EXPO's are coming up soon with Nashville on August 21-23 and San Antonio on
September 10-12. (See additional information in calendar section below.)
I have checked on flights out of Bismarck and found that the ticket prices are
$597 to Nashville and $433 to San Antonio. Let's start making plans now to
attend a fall EXPO.
