Dear Trade Partners,

This third online edition of the Promotion Planning Calendar summarizes our promotion plans beginning in Period 4, 2009 and ending with Period 2, 2010.

The promotion themes are consistent with our goal to provide our customers with an engaging experience while highlighting the diverse and exciting products that we carry.

The programs’ structure is a continuation of last year’s plan with a few modifications to the fees, an enhanced Mini-Thematic program and a refined Pod Display program.

It will be a very exciting upcoming year for us as we take our customers to a new engagement level.

We look forward to planning our promotional activities with you to grow our business together.

Bob Downey
Senior Vice President,
Sales and Marketing Division
