Sure, I will be happy to go back to home depot today, and ask them. The store manager seemed (to me) to be leaving it all up to the paint manager. I will verify it all today and let you know when I get back later today or tonight.



Ill print up the ad that I have seen on your web site, and take it to them today.

Hello Ms. ****** –



It is a pleasure to hear from you. Yes, our National Sales Manager believes strongly in what you are saying. Patricia Miles is always looking for a “hook” that helps engage the consumer, whether it is in the store or in advertising. For example, we are now creating a range of in-store merchandising tools to set us apart from the majority of products that just “sit there” on the shelf. It is quite likely that coupons will be part of the print advertising mix when it reaches that point.



Thank you for sharing a bit about your interests and background too. Please feel free to put forth your ideas when they occur to you. We may not be able to use every one, but the management of your company, Winning Brands Corporation, knows that there are many intelligent, creative people out there in the world whose instincts could make a difference for the company. Our job as your management team is to find the best ideas and put them to work so that the company can grow into the substantial firm that it has the potential to become.



On the subject of the local Home Depot store in Fredericksburg, Virginia – would you be willing to obtain the name of the person you spoke to, and ask whether they would let us send them a case of 12 bottles of Winning Colours® Stain Remover to “play with”? The contact would be more effective if it came from a real person rather than just a voice over the telephone. Your contact in the store might pass the information about the product and its success at Home Depot Canada up the ladder in their company to converge with the other discussions we are having with this retailer. It can’t hurt to try!



Sincerely,

Eric Lehner, CEO

I am a shareholder of wnbd. I only hold a small amount, but I have a great idea for the new products in the U.S.



As a consumer, and coupon clipper, I would try a product if there was a coupon. If it is just an advertisement, without a coupon, as it is a let down. But an ad with a coupon is the key. So, if you are going to put money in a page ad or in a set of coupons for the Sunday papers, just be sure to allow a dollar off, or say, 2 dollars of of 2 (lots of products do that now, making you buy more than one, but it works)



I mostly have a law enforcement background but I did sell and design ads for a couple of years and learned what works and what didn’t work. Also, put “NEW” in like a bright yellow star. I assure you it will catch our eye.



Just wanted to pass that along. I work for our local police department, taking 911 calls, where the girls, and even some of the guys, cycle the coupons around the room. We all agree that a “couponless ad” is a let down. It hits the trash and is forgotten.



Also, I visited my local home depot store, and they were very open to having your product there. They even showed me how they would display it as a new product, etc.
