Hello Valley Vet Bloggers!! Hope your day is going well.
Today I thought I would tell you a little about what I do at Valley Vet. When someone asks me that question---with one of our owners nearby---I usually pop off with “as little as possible”. The first time or two, I wasn’t exactly sure how our owners were going to take that---but I think they’ve figured out by now---that this is just my, um, smart donkey come back!
Within my job detail, I choose the product offering we have at Valley Vet that fall under my categories. Which are: apparel, books and gifts, equine grooming, pet supply and equipment, stable equipment products and supplies for equine, and tack equipment and supply. In other words---I get paid to shop nearly 95.9% of the time! Pretty awesome job, huh, ladies??? Of course there are always those business dealings but we don’t like to talk about that, that’s the boring part of the job!! I also get the pleasure of meeting some incredible folks within our industries. Julie Goodnight, Stacey Westfall, Kirk Stierwalt…just to name a few—and WOW, they are all AWESOME! Good ol’ country folk that if you did not know how famous they were….you’d really never know by just talking to them.
As of late, my counterpart that handles all the “healthy stuff” and I have been working on our fall catalogs. Our marketing department takes all of our quality ideas and then puts them together all nice and neat on the pages that eventually end up in your mail box and on-line. I don’t know—they think they have to refine my pages I turn in, something about them not liking the stick figures I draw in on my pages where I say “insert model here”. They’re kind of picky if you ask me. Something else that always bewildered me until I fully got the grasp here is how far in advance catalogs have to work ahead. For example, as I said, we are finishing the fall catalogs. We are finishing them just as our summer issues are arriving to you. And the fall and winter product that you will be seeing, as in people winter coats and or winter horse blankets…I had to have that all picked out and ordered by last February. I am already starting to see products that will be available from some major manufacturers in January. Of course I can’t spill the beans just yet on what they are---but I’m pretty sure you’re gonna like them!!!
There is a product coming out in September that we will be offering. It’s the Venture Helmet from Troxel. They are just releasing some of the details about the helmet to the public now. It has a brand new closure/tightening system on the back of the helmet. It is specifically created for trail riders. Jump on our site and check it out…….click the button that says you want to know when we have it in stock to order and we’ll email you as soon as we get our first shipment in.
Thanks so much for now----and keep dancing!!! Julie
