The Week Ahead Aug 17-21, 2009

Monday:
Tuesday: July Producer Price Index, July Housing Starts
Wednesday:
Thursday: Weekly initial jobless claims July Leading Economic Indicators
Friday: July Existing Home sales

Larson note: Last week came out pretty much what I expected it to be. Inventory levels lower, Production higher, and a boosts in productivity levels. This will all work out to our advantage in a month as those low inventory levels need to be refilled, perhaps not up to previous levels but higher than what they are now. Start getting yourself ready!

This week? Another good week statically. Think your short term marketing plans over. Do they need a revamp? Get it done today and start implementing tomorrow. Now is the time.

The focused industries we are looking to add clients in for the month are Advertising Specialties, Trade Show Booth Builder, Sign Shop, and a Graphic Design Studio, and Printer (small and mid-sized) and looking to add more accounts in the eastern and pacific time zones. We are also looking for sales persons in New England, Texas and Southern California.
