Check out Kim's video here, and again congrats, Kim, on the great video. You deserve the national attention!
As the ice cream business slows down it becomes a great time to reflect on what went well in 2011, and use that to prepare for 2012. We'll be sending out your carton counts for 2011 as the year comes to a close. We'll also be reflecting on our business and rolling out new flavors, promotions and ideas in the upcoming months.
But we want to hear from you too! Did you run any promotions or invent ice cream desserts that worked well for you? Did you come up with any unique ways to bring in more business? Did you learn anything new from your customers this season?
