It's easy and convenient. Write your check, fax it to them, request confirmation and you are complete, No envelope, no postage. <em>Editor’s note: Gina, that sounds like a fabulous option-—hadn’t heard of it before, but will definitely look into it, then spread the word. What a GREAT option for buyers wanting to keep their budgets balanced. Thanks!</em> Re: Checks are in…..Another possibility, Ask your favorite vendors if they offer Fax by Check.

So much of what I'm doing now involves "talking out" ideas with customers, and getting them to use all of the tools that are out there to make them more profitable. This can also help ensure they will survive the storm. I always tell them I'm in it for the long run with them, and if the resources aren't there this time, we'll try again next time. This is my family, and I truly do care about their welfare. Nothing has been a bigger FREE gift to them than the 3/50 project, and this is the best way for them to educate their public. How they carry the ball from there, is what measures the amount of success they will have. EVERYTHING goes in cycles, and I believe that those that change with the times will do extremely well!

I'm doing battle with a key supplier who is a top tier vendor in the shoe retail industry. The company keeps insisting on their buy parameters without any understanding of the micro-climate business variations from their norm that exist out in the real world. Would appreciate feedback from others who have successfully overcome this. Boy did I relate to your minimum buy paragraph.
