Been Very Busy
August 10th, 2009 | 
Author: I know that you have not heard from me for awhile. Malcolm and I had a very busy July and August.
Historically, the wholesale business is busiest in April and May. But this year, buyers were very reluctant to purchase many new products for their stores until June and July. Order tend to taper off in July … but not this year! I have not looked at the records (been too busy), but I would expect that this July is the best July wholesale month we have had since I started my sales rep business in 2001!!
Reports I have been receiving from around the state tell me that tourist areas are having a good season. Twin Falls had a long season this year with the falls (due to all the rain), Mountain Home says lots of their visitors are folks who are traveling on the Interstate rather than the typical tourist who flies into the area. And of course, the beaches in Coeur d Alene and Sandpoint are lined with people. Maybe Idaho isn’t seeing the recession as badly as other areas in the country!
On another note, Malcolm and I attended the North Powder (Oregon) Huckleberry Festival on July 25. Check out our post and pictures on the International Wild Huckleberry Association blog.
