pic00847Clarke Congdon, our fearless Crayola rep, sent us a Wall Street Journal article recently that indicates June was another challenging month for retailers. We are all continually bombarded this type of negative information and it’s important to remember that the economy is not all doom and gloom. In fact, Crayola had its biggest June (POS) in the company’s history! Crayola’s 4-week trends were +12% ,showing that consumers are willing to part with their cash for high quality brands that offer high play value for kids. Clarke also notes that Crayola is a brand you can trust and lean on to jump-start lagging sales.
