You know how businesses buy, and then give away, crap with their logo on it? We're one of the companies that act as middlemen.

Sales are down. Calls are down. Website visits are down.

Businesses all over the country are so strapped for cash that many aren't even promoting themselves (to get new business) anymore.(!)

Since we have a 2-month lead on one metric of business and economic prosperity (businesses who want to invest in getting more business), I can say with utter certainty that the next two months are going to be worse, for the Baileys and the Potters.
