Our store visits continue ordsprog

Our store visits continue to indicate that most specialty retailers are less promotional than they were this week last year.

This last week is going to be critical particularly for those retailers that have gotten off to a slow start. We expect retailers to step up their levels of promotional activity.

Early indications show that store traffic and the promotional activity is at lower levels than last year at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if many retailers try to get away with selling merchandise at full price.

Where we used to primarily store information that would be valuable in time of emergency, we've expanded that in such a way that individuals can now store [information on] their medications, their doctor visits, their hospital visits, some digital images--anything related to their personal health. So we're no longer just for people who have a medical condition--we're for healthy people who'd like a safe and secure location to store their medical information.

It was really the department store chains and the apparel retailers that took it on the chin with weak January sales results. But a couple of names in those two groups are guiding higher than expected, predicated on expectations of lower promotional activity going into spring.

We're far from dead, as some would suggest. We're still around, and we'll stay around. We've been a successful niche market catering to promotional and mid-priced furniture manufacturers and retailers, and we'll continue to do so.

Most retailers were more aggressive on the promotional front this year than last year, as they tried to drive traffic and compete with the likes of Best Buy and Wal-Mart.

We continue to seek the input and suggestions of our fans about how we can improve our operations. Fan feedback has certainly influenced our promotional calendar, from more frequent promotional nights to the increased quality and number of items, even to the timely release of the promotional calendar.
