Plan for the year with a renewed sense of optimism
Are we out of this recession? Most days, it honestly does not feel like it. However, being down at the Americas Mart Atlanta (North America’s largest gift trade show) I certainly have a renewed sense of optimism.
Compared to last year this time, the energy is greater, people are more excited, the vendors are displaying more new items and the general sense of optimism is much greater. It’s very refreshing to see. It’s almost as if everyone took last year to regroup, and now they’re ready to move forward.
For us, it is affecting our buying as well. This time last year, we were all about reducing purchases, reducing inventory and conserving cash. Now for this coming year, we’re back to looking for opportunities to buy more new products and grow our business.
I know we’re excited for the coming year. Cheers to a successful 2010!
