Help!! Please!!

.....Boy, am I ever in a pickle... and can I use some help!! Here’s my problem. We’ve got several new products coming out over the next few months – and trucks are already backing up to our dock daily with this brand new merchandise.

....There’s only one catch! We’ve got no room to put the darn stuff. That’s right! No place. Our warehouse was already maxed out and if we don’t do something pretty darn quick, we’re going to burst through the rafters.

....So my boss calls me back there the other day and pointing all over the place, hands me one of those "you better do something and do it fast" ultimatums. All I really remember were his loud and direct last words . . .

...."Powers – I don’t care what it takes but get this damn inventory situation under control. . . NOW!! Understand?"

...."Yes Boss," I said, with the best tone of confidence I could muster. "I’ll take care of it"

....Heck, there’s really only one thing to do when you’ve got too much inventory. DISCOUNT – right? RIGHT!!

So I spent the rest of the day with notebook in hand, climbing over one pallet after another trying to make a list of what should go. As I scrambled from box to box, I kept hearing his words – "I don’t care what it takes."

....Okay Boss – you asked for it and you’ve got it. I’m going to mark some of this stuff down so low that no one in their right mind could ever resist it. (The way I see it, if I mark this stuff down so far below wholesale, you all are going to find it irresistible – and I get to keep my job. Fair enough?)

....Sheesh! This could get interesting.

....So anyway – guys (and gals), the prices I’ve concocted for this mailing are the craziest and the most ridiculously low I’ve ever offered. Wow!! What an opportunity this is for you. I promise you this much, you will never see these deals again. SOUNDS INCREDIBLE, DOESN’T IT?

....So if there’s something on this inventory clearance list that you can use, you better not wait because there’s one thing I can tell you for certain – THIS STUFF WILL GO FAST AT THESE GIVEAWAY PRICES!!

....And one other very important point. These prices are good only for the current inventory. When it’s gone – so are these great deals. (And maybe I’ll be gone too.) So act as fast as you can. And go ahead and buy as much of it as you want while it lasts. What the heck? I’d rather have it cluttering your cupboards than my warehouse.

....Now go ahead and check out the great specials sheet enclosed and get your order in as quickly as possible.

....I’m counting on you,
