We did an amazing things this week at our place.  We held two Holiday HQ open house events…….hosted a buying group event at one of our client’s corporate offices……..redid our showroom (so darn cute and all ready for the holidays)……..sent out a slew of marketing materials………reset all our stores for our Stocking Stuffer HQ $5, $10, $20 program……..we are in the middle of opening a  new store at MSP Airport…….AND on top of that we are having one of our best sales months in our Promotions division- ever- with our retail division pacing way ahead of last year sales.  We are bucking all the woe-is-me economic news out there.   Whew, I am tired just typing this…

Thank you, thank you, thank you wonderful, dedicated, smart and terrific staff at St. Croix Promotions and Retail.   We truly are REFUSING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RECESSION.   And it is because of all  your hard work and dedication. 

Special thanks too to Laurie Crow owner of Sinful Wine & Liquors in Bloomington.  She hosted our wine tasting at our Holiday HQ event and you must check out her store at Southtown Center.  Laurie is the winner of the 2009 Woman on the Move award from SCORE.  She can do custom branded label wine and check out all her wine events. http://www.sinfulwine.com
