Sales and Marketing Report
Scott MacKay, Sales and Marketing

The first half of 2009 has proven to be one of the most challenging periods I have seen in my thirty-seven years in the detailing business. It seems as though many of our competitors are running short of work and are pricing projects based more on survival than good business practices. Dowco has worked through many downturns in the past and we are confident we will weather this storm also. Fortunately for Dowco, we entered this recession with a healthy backlog of work, which unfortunately has quickly dissipated. We do plan to continue to extend our marketing efforts worldwide as this offers us the best opportunity to secure future projects, both in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

However, having said that, it's tough out there!
