2011 Holiday HOT SHEET
What’s New – Hot -On $pecial!!!
Make This Your Best Holiday Season Possible!
With snow storms already hitting the east there is no doubt about it winter weather and the
Holiday Season is fast approaching. Our team here at Gold Crest has been busy filling our
warehouse to the brim with lots of great products so we can continue to give you “Same Day
Shipping with a 99% Fill Rate!!” We want to share with you info on New Products, Super
Sellers and Specials to help your store grow your sales!!
Let‟s talk about Exciting New Products first – In almost every store the customers often ask –
“What‟s New!” With Gold Crest‟s policy of No Minimums per line and 99% of the time no
minimum per item we make it easy to try “New” items. At one of the training seminars at our
recent Wild Bird Expo those in attendance agreed that ALL stores should get rid of at least 20%
of the slow movers and add New replacements. We feel the following New Products are worthy
of your considerations. Speaking of the Wild Bird Expo – all I can say is WOW. We had 25%
more vendors and 33% more retailers. The Wild Bird Expo has grown into The Best Wild Bird
Show – Mark it Down the 2012 show is October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th – you should attend!!
