“We have been having Black Friday events for over two decades. This event was definitely in the top two or three. After we run the sales totals it may be the best event. Our team did a great job getting everything ready and it paid off…. BIG TIME. The support we received from Rob and the Crossover Marketing crew in the house was very much appreciated” Hartleb related.
