Pool Products Warehouse

What are some alternative marketing strategies for selling products through a warehouse setting?

Install pool tables for a guy in springfield, mo. He sells pool tables and hot tubs. They are really expensive so, he buys hundreds at a time and sells them for about 50% to 80% below retail. They are brand new but he only advertises in newspapers. If he can be believed he spends over 10,000 dollars in advertising this way. Within the past 4 years business has slacked off. He micromanages and when he isn’t there, there is no business. Now he is advertising in arkansas, kansas, missouri, oklahoma, and illinois. He has me traveling up to 350 miles from springfield. Is there a better way for him to using his advertising dollar so that I don’t have to wear my vehicles out as fast. I’m putting over 200,000 miles on a year. I need to spend more time at home. Any suggestions?

Can a vinyl pool be left up over the winter?

We just set up a 16 x 4 foot vinyl pool and after we had the thing half-way filled we read that the manufacturer advises taking it down for winter storage because the vinyl “may not withstand ice and freezing temperatures”. I know we should have read the whole manual before filling the pool (kicking myself) but aren’t there chemicals or covers that would make the pool safe for winter without taking the whole thing down and storing it? We live in southwest VA, temps can reach below freezing for several days at a time for 3-4 months, and the pool has a metal pipe frame.

I would follow the manufacturers recommendations. Even with chemicals and covers, it won’t protect the vinyl. Even empty, the vinyl is at risk. What happens is when it freezes and then thaws, the vinyl can crack and wouldn’t hold water. Sorry, the best thing to do is to take it down and store it over the winter, that is unless you want to buy a new one every spring.
