Thank you so much — I learn something new from Sun Spots every day! — No name, Mexico
ANSWER: I like the way you have tied your two events together — that’s some savvy marketing there! I know it is only the beginning of summer, but giving folks something to look forward to and put on their calendars for that busy holiday time is smart thinking.
Be sure to update us again in the fall, and let us know how this summer sale pans out!
