Jenny and Loreza. Did you see the new sales report for the new line of classic watches?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenny Miller: [2:16 P.M.]
Yeah, I reviewed the document.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evan Armas: [2:16 P.M.]
I think consumers really like the series of TV commercials we made.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loreza Izzo: [2:17 P.M.]
Yes, our marketing department did a great job last quarter. Our company has been appointed as an official supporter of the major international film festivals and sports events.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenny Miller: [2:20 P.M.]
I was informed that they also got many famous celebrities to wear our products and appear in the commercials. But our sports watches are not selling well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evan Armas: [2:23 P.M.]
I heard those who purchase these sports watches tend to enjoy outdoor activities and extreme sports but the strap and glass are not that sturdy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loreza Izzo: [2:25 P.M.]
Oh, no wonder! If so, we should thoroughly investigate it. I should talk to our product development department. In fact, I’ll go and let them know about it now.YEBA

I just returned from Dallas yesterday and you were absolutely right. I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. It gave me some great ideas that we can try to implement at Royal Resorts and I made some new contacts in the industry. I took notes and summarized each seminar for your reference and they are attached to this e-mail.
By the way, the seminar on Food Service that was scheduled for Tuesday morning was cancelled due to the small number of attendees.
Thank you again for the opportunity to go and please let me know if you want to discuss anything from the conference.
