We have recently experienced significant growth in the number of employees at our Asian division. This increase in resources will help Raymark both better serve our Asian market locally and enhance the level of service we provide our North American and European clients. To accomodate the expanding team, our Shanghai office has relocated to a larger space at Fushan Road 450 Suite 98, Pudong, Shanghai, China, 200122.

On April 30, 2009, we held our first art day, where employees were invited to contribute art work to be exhibited at the event. The exhibit took place at our head office in Montreal and contributions included paintings, pottery, photography, wood sculptures, sketches and poetry. The overwhelming number of pieces submitted reflected the diversity and creativity of Raymark’s team. We have some very talented people working for us!

During a special luncheon, Raymark’s president, Claude Chriqui, praised the staff’s recent accomplishments and declared Raymark Art Day a yearly event!

Thank you to all Raymark employees for making this a wonderful exhibit. We look forward to seeing what you create for next year.

We submitted an editorial to Retail Solutions Online (RSO) to compete for the feature article in its Retail Solutions Update magazine. Around 70 entries were submitted to RSO for consideration in this competition - Raymark won!

The issue was distributed to more than 15,000 retailers and is a thought leadership piece on how they can use interactive digital kiosks to offer a personalized in-store, self-service shopping experience to their customers. In it, we emphasize the importance of connecting kiosk software applications to Point of Sale, Customer Relationship Management, and Business Intelligence systems to offer targeted promotions, discounts, and product recommendations to retail customers. Its concepts implement Raymark’s "never leave the store without a bag!" philosophy.

RSO was very impressed with our editorial and has already requested that we produce follow up articles for future editions of their magazine.

Here’s to Raymark’s continued success!
