Exciting news!

Last week I had one of those nagging feelings that would not go away. My wife says it's my intuition and that I need to listen to it. So I did. My intuition was telling me that I need to enter the Seattle Boat Show this year (2010).

I've been involved with the Spokane International Boat Show now for four years. I've had great success. I've met a lot of great people and enjoyed a good deal of business as a result. My problem is that the Seattle show is the exact same week as the Spokane show. I'd already booked the Spokane show for this year and even if I had not, I would not give up the Spokane show as I think they do a great job and I want a presence in my home town. Who would man the Spokane booth? So I talked to some friends and local family and I think I've got it covered. So it's done. I've booked the Seattle show.

The reason I'm so excited is that I get plenty of inquiries from the west side of the state. I've sold my share of platforms and I even occasionally go there for the installs. I have family that lives in Summner so it gives us an excuse to get there, see them and as a bonus get to Pike's Street...one of our favorite places to visit. The last one we did this summer, my wife Jeanne accompanied me on an install and was actually very helpful. The customer was so impressed that he gave us a $200.00 tip when we were done. We spent it at Pike's Street the next morning. She thought that was great. So I'm excited that the Boat Show will just open up more opportunities to both sell platforms and give us reason to visit that side of the state.

So when you are at this year's boat show and you spot the Contemporary Fiberglass booth, featuring Safe Step swim platforms, stop in and say hi. I'll give you a great deal on a custom extended swim platform.

See you then.
