Greetings!
 

We are coming up on the ninth anniversary of Snowfly. Since we began back in early 2001, we have experienced steady growth every year, including 2009 which has been very difficult for many of our customers. In spite of these hard times, Snowfly only lost one customer while gaining several more. We're very grateful for this support.

Fortunately, in the past three months we have seen signs of improvement in hiring and subsequent increases in incentive activity. Consequently, we are optimistic about 2010.  The increased business activity should come just in time for the introduction of a Snowfly employment selections system. This will be very similar to my past Aspen Tree Selections System with which many of you are familiar. Stay tuned.

Thanks for your support and we look forward to many new friends and customers in 2010.
