Hey everyone. Just back from the Seattle Boat Show. Overall I felt that we will be succesful as there was good traffic, good interest and several confirmed sales. I got the feeling that many people are tired of hearing bad news and want to just get on with their lives. They are ready to spend money and of course the family boat is something people think of first when spending money.
I want to thank several friends and family members who supported me during the week. First there was Sue and Darryl who allowed us to stay at their home on the lake. Wonderful friends who came to visit us in our booth. Then our friends Phil and Ann invited us to spend some time on their yaught which is moored on Lake Union. We had dinner with them one night and spent the night on the boat which was a unique experience for us. And thanks to the rest of the friends and family who showed up to visit us in our booth.
I'd like to thank Nor'Westing magazine who wrote an article on my company for the Boat Show edition. Well written and it drove a lot of customers to my booth. They went above and beyond and I am grateful.
I also had a booth in the Spokane show which was going on concurrently to our show. My good friend Chuck manned the booth in Spokane. How can I thank him enough for all of his hard work? He reported that the show in Spokane mirrorred the results in Seattle. Very good interest and several confirmed sales. Low attendance during the week. I will do something special for Chuck to show my gratitude.
And finally to my wife Jeanne who not only helped me in the booth, but had to do her regular job also. Long days for her and as always, she just smiled and made the best of it. I really admire her!
So if I talked to you at the show, I look forward to working with you. If I missed you at the show, please get a hold of me through my web site.
