I would pay attention to the latter because that's where Crocs can really expand internationally. If you're unfamiliar with Crocs, check out their company report to get a quick rundown of their company: Crocs, Inc. is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of footwear for men, women and children under the crocs brand. The Company offers 11 footwear models in up to 18 different colors. It markets its footwear products to a range of distribution channels, and sells its products in over 6,500 retail locations in the United States. It has also begun selling its products in over 40 additional countries. It also markets a line of crocs branded apparel and accessory items. Crocs, Inc.'s closed cell resin material, which it refers to as croslite, is the primary raw material used in all of its footwear and non branded products. The Company also selectively uses croslite to manufacture a variety of other non brandedproducts, such as spa pillows and kayak seats, which are marketed to original equipment manufacturers. EXO Italia designs and develops ethylene vinyl acetate based finished products primarily for the footwear industry. (Source: MSN Money) Why does Crocs look appealing to international investors? At first look, Crocs is a fast growing domestic footwear company, but I think international growth is the most attractive element of their business model. Crocs sells its products in over 70 countries worldwide, a huge increase from 40 countries worldwide in 2005. International revenues have increased to $78.4 million in 2006 from $8.2 million in 2005 during the same 3rd quarter period. That's a 950% sales growth rate, and Crocs has yet to fully tap the international market. How long will it take for Crocs to reach the international consumer? Crocs sells branded products in 70 countries. That's an incredibly accelerated reach for a 4 year old footwear and apparel designer. Accelerated growth is mostly due to Crocs' strategic distribution center placement. The company operates distribution centers in China, Russia, and Mexico, which provides great opportunities to sell branded products straight from the factory. Vertical integration has kept Crocs' costs low, and prevented the company from taking on loans and excessive debt. High Demand = Growth, Expansion, and Profits The popularity of our footwear has in the past resulted in our inability to either produce or deliver shoes in sufficient volumes to satisfy the demands of our retail customers and consumers. We have been attempting to meet this demand by actively expanding our company operated manufacturing capacity, as well as increasing the number of shoes produced for us by third party manufacturers. During 2006, we expanded our manufacturing capacity at the facility we operate in Mexico. We also recently expanded production capacity at our third party manufacturers located in China and added third party manufacturing capacity in Romania. In addition to expanding our production capacity, we are actively expanding our fulfillment and distribution capabilities. For example, we anticipate our new distribution facility in China, which is adjacent to our major third party manufacturing facilities, will enable us to distribute our products more efficiently on a global basis. (Source: Crocs 10 Q 3rd Q report) According to the latest quarterly report, demand has remained high in both domestic and international markets. Crocs is a global phenomenon as well as a domestic craze. Even with such great international success, Crocs' management implements a very simple international business plan. We intend to continue to establish a direct sales presence in major foreign markets, rather than rely on distributors, which we believe will improve our margins and allow us to better control our marketing and distribution. We have established direct sales efforts in Australia, Austria, the Caribbean, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. (Source: Crocs 10 k '05 Annual Report) Once again, Crocs continues to impress investors with easy to understand foreign strategies. When I can understand how the business makes money, I feel very confident about my foreign investments. More Factors to Consider Crocs has recently made two acquisitions Jibbitz, LLC, and EXO Italia 0.01 Debt to Equity Ratio Vertical integration model kept debt at bay The company is still small, only has a market cap of $1.9 billion along with 39 million shares outstanding Do you own a pair of Crocs? Have you considered buying a pair? If the footwear and brand name appeals to you, then why not give their company stock a look? Bottom Line: Crocs stock is trading near its 52 week high, so I wouldn't advise buying shares now. So what can you do next? Add this stock to your watch list. I'm going to start tracking CROX on a weekly basis to see where it heads. Although I must say, the guilt of never wearing a pair has almost gotten to me.

Before storing your snowblower for the summer, a couple things you want to make sure that you've done is, empty out all of the fuel, change the oil, clean, or replace the spark plug, and clean, or replace the air filter. Now, it's best to park your snowblower somewhere inside that is out of the way of traffic, and where you walk in your garage or, your shed. It's also recommended that you just take a old towel, or blanket and just cover the body of your snowblower. Now, it's going to be sitting for probably six to nine months, and of all the dust and debris that accumulates over those months, you don't want that potentially getting inside your engine. So that towel's just going to help protect it a little bit, and keep it from potentially not starting in the fall. Now, it's also good to store it in an area where there's not going to be any children, or anybody sneaking in, and trying to use it for fun, or anything like that. Lastly, if you lock it up, it'll keep anyone from messing with it again, and nobody's going to steal it also.

Latest And Largest Collection Of Air Jordan 4 Green Glow,Air Jordan 3 Powder Blue I have a pair of Nike Free Run 2 and they are great! Super lightweight and comfortable to wear around anytime. I also run in them and haven had any problems though I usually don do more than 6 miles with them. It may be important to note that there are different levels of Free. If it doesn say "Run" after it and has a number, then that is a measure of how light it is. The lower the number, the lighter. So having a Nike Free 3.0 is not the same shoe as a Nike Free 5.0. I believe all the Free Run shoes are 5.0 but I could be wrong. Nike Free Run 3 tells you it the third version of the Nike Free Run shoe. I had been running in stability shoes for quite some time, but at the beginning of 2009 I switched completely to the Free 3.0s, and I loved them ever since. After I been running in them for about 2 years, I trained for and ran a marathon using a single pair of the 3.0s and no other shoes. So I can vouch that if you build up to it slowly and properly you can do anything in them that other people do in normal trainers. It takes awhile to work up to doing lots of mileage in them, though, so you should be really careful, especially when you starting out. It unfortunate that, as Meredith answer illustrates, many shoe stores don give people proper advice regarding who should be using them and how to use them safely.
