makes sense. that should help eliminate the need for a million sales just to get product sold while also helping out local business', good idea.
My next question, however, would be what about the shop employee discount program? I have to say although it was a big discount and not much money was made for you guys I also bought about 5x as much as probably would have otherwise. I noticed it is not active right now, although the dude at SIA said there would be another one again this year. The only problem is that if what I would want sells out online then I will be forced to turn to the shop I work at to buy it and the discount is not quite as large there as the online one was last year. I want to make it clear that I greatly appreciated that discount and am not going to bitch if it does not make an appearance again this year, but I am still curious as it is also probably the best discount for a company probably ever haha. Basically I just want to not miss out on the gear I want even if the discount comes back once the season actually begins.
Hopefully that makes sense, sorry for the rant format haha.
