Well here it is in preliminary form.  Later we’ll add in some items and prices, but for now I think this is great.

The ad was shot in Minot.  We have at least one Team Member who did a wonderful job.  We also had some volunteers from a drama club or something.

I think they all did a fabulous job.  Everyone that’s seen it thinks it’s funnier than heck. I think they ad will get people to watch the add because there’s so many neat parts.

Anyway, great job everyone.  I think I even did ok. 

Here’s the ad we did earlier this year:

The point was to replace the great “news” spots that were so successful for us. Here’s a sample of one of those.

We’ve tried setting up a mailing list of those that want to see it, but that hasn’t worked either.  We do have copies in the stores for our customers to pick up, but that doesn’t bring new people to the the store. 

This has been a GREAT flyer for us the past few years.  Let’s hope that it keeps on. 

I want to point out the fantastic deal we’ve got going for fathers day.  If you buy a pair of Carhartt pants (excluding shorts) you will get a FREE polo shirt.  Not only is that a great deal in itself, but we have a fastastical price for the B17 Carhartt Jeans.  That’s a special price that Carhartt has only authorized until fathers day.  I’m thinking that they should get a lot of people giving their jeans a test drive with a price like that.

Pages two and three are heavy into the clothes that make H of E’s clothing selection one of a kind.  We are massively strong in Jeans, workwear and boots.

Check out the Weber grills at the top of the page.  We’ve been emphasizing Grills for a year now and we are happy with the effect. 

Another must buy on page 4 is the mosquito repellent.  I was out back in the yard last night and I didn’t dare stop for a moment.

Pages 6 and 7 are big in lawn and garden.  You can see we have the Off on the top of Page 7.  For some reason the Off products have always been in the Lawn and Garden department and the other products in our Sporting Goods.  It mad some sense in the past because we bought Off from a L & G source and the other products from Sporting Goods sources.  What doesn’t make sense is to advertise the product on different pages and display them apart from each other.  I never said we were perfect.

Check out the Purina on our animal page.  That’s really taken off well in the last couple weeks. 

Page 9 is our housewares and toys along with some Home Improvement Departments.  We DO have air conditioners in Grand Forks, but not every store so we can’t advertise them in the flyer. 

Pages 10 and 11 are our farm and tool pages.  We’ve got some great sellers here.  We’re still seeing great growth in the Dewalt line.  Another line to watch is those fill-right pumps.  That’s an awesome line.  Finally we’ve got a sump pump there.  We didn’t sell as many this spring but they’re still going out the door.

The back page is normally reserved for Tires, Batteries and Automotive.  We switched it up for once and put batteries on the front, “Life in the Fast Lane.”  We’ve got some of our new Cooper tires on the back, so we aren’t getting that crazy. 

Page two has our Homecrest furniture.  This stuff isn’t cheap but it’s so nice.  I’ve got some on my porch that the frames are 40 years old.  It’s held up.

Here we’ve got the Lane motion furniture.  They make beautiful stuff.  That must be why they sell more reclining furniture than anyone else in the country.  We’ve also got some Howard Miller clocks there.  We’ve got a full selection of Grandfather clocks that you have to check out.  But what I’d really like personally is that Rythm Masters Musical wall clock.  It’s a beautiful piece.

The back page has more Amish.  Did I mention that the stuff is awesome?  We’ve also got our Restonic Mattresses which seem to be a great product.  Not only that they’re made here in Grand Forks so we can offer you a great price. 

We’ve got the Memorial Weekend Furniture Sale running this weekend.  Last year was the first time we went after this business and all I can say is what were we doing NOT having a Memorial Weekend Sale.  We had a fantastic weekend. 

I hope that we can grow on what we did last year.  Time will tell.  It’s not going to hurt that we have chances for rain on Saturday and Memorial Monday is going to be cool. 

I hope you can come in, but if you don’t, have a GREAT weekend. 

Cooper makes a great tire.  We’ve seen quite a few of our peers starting to sell their tire.  What they say is that they are very well made without any problems.

Another thing that they’ll give us is the ability to restock faster.  There’s getting to be SO many sizes out there that we can’t stock them all.  With the Cooper line we can make the sale and know that we’ll have the tires the next day to install on the customers tires.

There’s been so many changes in the tire industry between manufacturing, new sizes and the global availability.  We’re excited that we can take this step to grow with the industry.
