Re: www.treetreasurescanada.com
Dubbya,
Thank you for your well thought out response. It certainly appears that economy is the culprit. Historically our sales have been 85% US, 10% Canadian and 5% other. In my opinion, while there are worldwide economic problems, the worst situation is in the US. It is our US sales that are down the tubes. Canadian and oversees sales are actually up a small amount.
Internet sales are just one part of our business and, to date, we're a little over our internet break even point so we're just going to stay the course. We're positioned to weather this storm. Our inventory is unique and does not become dated so what doesn't sell this year will sell next year. We have done some promotion recently but as we sell very small ticket items, cost effective advertising is hard to come by.
