BLOCK BY BLOCK: The [Canadian] dollar crashing has been terrible. I’ve had a few people ask, “Why, if it’s made in Canada?” The business world unfortunately operates on the US dollar; materials for us have gone up, in some case as much as four times for one colour. We have built a solid foundation with our current group of suppliers, and I couldn’t imagine sacrificing our quality to save a few bucks, so we tightened up our belts and hustled smarter – that is our game plan. We haven’t upped our prices in three years, so offering up decent wholesale prices, and small incentives to new markets and just doing what we have always done seems to be working. We’ll ride this out and see what happens.
