The Week Ahead November 23-27, 2009

Monday: Existing Home Sales,
Tuesday: Gross Domestic Product, Consumer Confidence
Wednesday: Personal Income and Consumption, Weekly initial jobless claims
Thursday: Thanksgiving Day
Friday: Black Friday, New Home Sales, Crude Inventories

Larson Notes: People are sitting back wondering if they are next to get the pink slip. There is not much room to maneuver in the marketing right now. Retail has been trying to stretch out Christmas by trying to get customers buying sooner thus spend more than we might have been planning. With Obama running around the world getting the “right wingers” (I cannot call Right Wing politicians and people conservatives) all mad at him for bowing in Japan and then not making any head way in China look for stormy wreathing ahead.

With a condensed week things will come fast and furious with mixed results. Then we take a break on Thursday and cringe on Friday. Sorry I just don’t see good things happening. There is a lot of talk on the street as to if we are in a bubble. I would be lying to say I am not worried about the bubble effect. Keep your head on and push your company hard! That is the only way I see to get to the other side.

The focused industries we are looking to add clients in for the month are Advertising Specialties, Trade Show Booth Builder, Sign Shop, a Graphic Design Studio, and Printer both small and mid-sized.

We are still looking for sales persons in all areas except




the Great Plains States.
If interested give us a call at 847-991-0488.
