Southern Waters Outfitters takes outdoor retail to the next level

Fairhope, Al (PRWEB) January 12, 2008

Southern Waters Outfitters, a regional outdoor and lifestyle apparel retailer has begun its planned expansion throughout the southeast United States.

After several years of honing their version of what an outdoor lifestyle shop can be, they plan to bring their concept to markets throughout the sun belt. A visit to one of their existing shops in Alabama and you’ll see that this level of retail has not been seen in the outdoor industry. Southern Waters prides itself in carrying only the finest brands in the business, such as The North Face, Patagonia, Napapijri, Kavu, Mountain Hardwear, Luminox and many others. President and CEO Richard Haag describes the difference, “Most outdoor retail shops lean more toward the look of a hardware store. We offer our customers a more finished and exciting experience, not unlike what Anthropologie did for women’s boutiques.” Step inside their prototype store located at the Eastern Shore Centre in Spanish Fort, Al and you’ll immediately see the difference that sets them apart. The look is “old warehouse” with exposed brick walls, stained concrete floors, mismatched antique tables, and very little in the way of “vendor

branded” fixtures, and of course their trademark antique 1963 Land Rover. Their latest store location is at “Grand Boulevard” in Sandestin, FL, which opened to rave reviews in December 2007. This store will be followed by another at “Pier Park” in Panama City Beach, Fl. slated to open in February 2008. Richard Haag explains, “We are planning on unveiling our new updated version of Southern Waters Outfitters at these two new locations, which will include lots of new goodies.” Their moves after these will have to stay under wraps for now, they will release the locations of their next stores only after they have secured the real estate. One other new thing that they love to talk about is their recently launched e-commerce site, http://www.southern-waters.com “We have kept it kind of low key and under the radar while we’ve been tweaking it these last couple of months, but we plan on a grand opening and launch party this holiday season,” says Haag. “The Sputnik Agency out of Victoria, Australia built it for us, and it is quite unique for our line of business. We wanted a site that would stand out from the rest and they delivered us just that. We are excited at the response and feedback thus far.” To find out more about this exciting company go to http://www.southern-waters.com .

Black Friday Is No Longer Just For Retail Outlets

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) November 27, 2009

On Friday, most of America will be trudging the malls looking for deals on electronics, household goods, and clothes. But could the idea of waking up early on Friday morning to buy a high ticket item, like an airplane, work? One aircraft sales dealership is willing to bet that it will.

One of the largest aircraft sales organizations in the country is about to change the way airplane customers buy on Black Friday. Florida based Premier Aircraft Sales will man the phones from 4 a.m. through midnight on Friday to handle calls from airplane purchasers looking for a bargain.

Ryan Ramos, sales manager at Premier Aircraft Sales, said, “No one ever thinks about big ticket items available on sale during Black Friday. The idea to offer a Black Friday special on airplanes came to me after reading an article online about a little known fact that the best day to buy a car is on Black Friday.”

Premier Aircraft Sales offered a sneak preview of the Black Friday special pricing and the phones began to ring off the hook with customers looking to seize the deal of a lifetime. Some of the discounts are as high as $ 100,000 off the retail price.

Ramos continues, “I think we are the first aircraft sales company in history to offer a Black Friday sale. High end buyers want a deal like anyone else, but they are not going to wait outside in the cold at 4 a.m. to save $ 5 on a toaster when they can save $ 100,000 on an airplane.”

He went on to explain that due to one of the worst economic downturns in history, today’s consumers are always looking for an incredible deal, even if that deal happens to be a half million dollar airplane. Typically high ticket items such as airplanes and yachts are not offered on sale, but the economy is forcing dealers to lower prices until demand increases.

“We are already seeing a significant increase in airplane sales, but we are nowhere near 2007 levels where we couldn’t keep up with demand. If the economy is still on the rebound next Thanksgiving, I wouldn’t be surprised next year if we see other industries such as housing, boating or other aircraft dealerships jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon. Maybe next year you will be able to get that house you always wanted on Black Friday.” Ramos said.
