<strong>May</strong>’s worldwide case lot sale makes history<br />
All-time record sales<br />
For DeCA’s biannual worldwide case lot sales,<br />
the prevailing attitude seems to be there’s<br />
nowhere to go but up, up, up.<br />
Sales figures for each event grow ever<br />
higher, and <strong>May</strong>’s were no exception, setting an<br />
all-time record for the sale at $18.3 million, up 1.9<br />
percent over last year’s bottom line.<br />
“It’s a joint effort from the stores, industry and<br />
the promotions team,” said Charlie Dowlen,<br />
DeCA’s chief of promotions. “Industry makes<br />
the offers, the promotions team puts together<br />
the packages and the store personnel execute<br />
the program. All of us have to work together in<br />
harmony to make the case lot sale a success. We<br />
are getting great support from everyone and it<br />
has resulted in another great sale. With this type<br />
of support, I’m optimistic that DeCA can have<br />
another great event in September.”�<br />
