It's not really an advertisement as much as it is a clip to be used by retail execs in BoD meetings, client presos, training, etc. Retail puts together little clips like that for those purposes and then uses them at quarterly meetings to amp-up the store teams. It's fairly effective. Based on the images, I'd guess it's 2007. Thanks for sharing. And, gratz ARS. Best of luck. Hi Tink.
