Well the tent sale is officially over. We had a great event! Thanks to the many industry sales reps that put in time at the shop during the sale. Thanks as well to my great staff. Overall numbers for sales are the highest the store has ever achieved for the annual event. We sold about 60 pairs of boots and 60 pairs of skis over the 7 days. I think next year we will shoot for an average of 10 per day in each category. That will give us something to shoot for.
So now it is back to work again. The store will be set up with everything inside and the Tent Sale pricing comes down. Now we move into our "fall sale" prices until the snow falls. Still great deals around here! We will be open on weekends only for a bit, so there is time to play some during the week for me. Martin and John both worked yesterday to get some of the shop work done. There are a lot of ski mounts and tunes to catch up on and Martin is busy later this week with other things. Thursday and Friday I will go in and spend time getting the prices changed over with new displays. So that left me with a few days to relax! Yesterday I went for a good bike ride with Jarrod (our Salomon rep) and Becky. Lot's of climbing. Left from Montclair after Jarrod had an appointment with Montclair Sports. It gave me an excuse to stop by there and say "hi". I like the store. They do a great job covering a wide range of sports. Skiing is just one of the many groups they cater to. Took a nap after the ride while Jarrod was off to do a Salomon footwear clinic in Walnut Creek. Then he had to drive back up the hill. Nice to be young! Tomorrow is golf with John, Erle, and David who is a customer. Today is errand day. DMV, Post Office, Grocery Store, Blog, Draw blood for yearly physical. That sort of thing. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do- ya know?
