First I want to thank you for your prayers as the Lord did put his protection around me during the trip and the events upcoming from yesterday's blog.
The winds were calm in the parking lot when I arrived but as soon I started loading up by display to haul into the supplier center big gusts of wind tried to take everything across the parking lot. This continued the entire time I was taking the display and samples inside. A nice elderly lady stopped and helped me load everything back on the cart and then she followed me into the Center. It would have been difficult without this good Samaritan’s help to get everything inside without damage.
Just so you know that your prayers were being heard, the assistant to the buyer came to take me downstairs to the meeting area. While we were waiting on the elevator, three unrelated buyers stopped and asked about the product. Soon I had a crowd of five people asking questions while my buyer’s assistant was holding the elevator door and just quietly saying, “Gary, Gary, Gary, I’m over here.”
We went to the room the assistant helped me set up and then stayed asking questions also. When the Buyer came down we spent the first few minutes just looking at and operating the display of the Attic Trac. I then took one full carton into the conference room and she explored the contents of the carton.
We talked for a few minutes and she then noted that she would like to trial it in 200 stores. I told her my goal to be in all stores and she said for me to send her a note today for what 200 stores would make the best test area. We talked some more about advertising opportunities and she continued to be interested.
So the bottom line is that she is willing to place it in 200 stores and we will try to see if she will place it in all stores.
