I hope you all had a great holiday, and no doubt are feeling it was a long time ago already, it's a function of age sadly that no sooner has one holiday been and gone, the next one arrives before you get into the swing of things. I spent far too much time looking at new motorcycles over the break only to be shocked as to how many major dealerships have bitten the dust recently. I suppose it's a consequence of the dynamic marketplace we find ourselves in at the moment and I have no doubt reduced margins by salesmen trying to chase orders has reduced the profitability of many dealerships whilst increase costs have hit home. I guess it's a lesson to be learned in retail at present and the audio industry isn't immune to this scenario, lets see how this year progresses. I have it in mind to maintain the high service standard we are proud to have achieved over the last 20 years, whilst keeping a watching eye on the bottom line.
Have a great year, now what did I do with that Norton catalog.
