Hey,

For a southeasterner it's quite surreal to look out your window on March 3 and see moderately heavy snow falling, but I think it's been that kind of year for us all. That in mind, my theory is that perhaps consumers are less likely to be turning all their attention to spring attire and gear. So, I think our clearance sale linked in below should continue to create clicks, sales and commission for us. I've also included links to our Marmot and Patagonia clearance pages, which are killing it as well.

On another note, I’d like to include some exciting news and links that some might find a niche for on their sites, particularly those that are thematically connected to running, outdoor adventure, the environment, or independent retailers. First, take a look at the latest video http://www.rockcreek.com/grassroots/. In it Mark, our Marketing and eCommerce director talks about our membership in the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, a national group of like-minded independent specialty retailers. Also, check out what’s going on with our renowned trail running series at http://www.rockcreek.com/trailseries/ . These are just a couple of the things that set us apart from some of the larger less personal retailers. Enjoy and spread the good news.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions so that I can best assist you.

Peace,

Les Hegwood
