Well, I sold my first floor model the other day. I have sold three or four other spas to folks who came in on our 'floor model clearance' ads but chose to pay full pop to get a different color, get the spa sooner or whatever.
Works for me.
Are you folks seeing year-end sales popping up yet? I don't usually start mine until December, and HotSpring doesn't usually get the new tubs out until February, but this year seems to be different.
For example, I debated about replacing the display Jetsetter or leaving the space empty until I can get a 2007 model next year. Surprise: I have a 2007 Jetsetter on order to pick up this Monday, along with three other tubs. Usually they are selling out on the current year's tubs and making a big deal about which models and colors are going fast, and which models they only have ten left etc. In fact, I got four last week, one of which was the new Aria - a 2007 tub.
So - what's happening in the local market for you dealers and you spa owners who still drop in on your dealers from time to time?
And do you dealers see a bit of an up-tick in sales? I attribute it to the election, but who knows?
