Haiku by Sharon Eisenhauer, Inc. Introduces New Sales Reps for Midwest and Alaska

Aug. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- BERKELEY, Calif. – Haiku by Sharon Eisenhauer, Inc. welcomes sales representatives Julie Bailey Weeks and Mark Weeks of Minneapolis-based Bailey2weeks for sales representation in the Midwest territory.

The Bailey Weeks team will be focused on enhancing retail support and growing Haiku’s distribution in outdoor, women’s lifestyle and travel and gift retailers in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, and the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Mark and Julie come to Haiku with a tremendous amount of experience from wholesale to retail. Julie has been a sales rep for nearly 30 years and Mark has more than two decades of retail management in department stores and specialty retailers. They have been partners in Bailey2weeks for the last three years.

The Bailey Weeks team has strong, established ties in Outdoor, Lifestyle, Women’s Specialty Stores, Travel and Gift. The pair represents women’s lifestyle brands with an eco emphasis, which makes their agency an ideal partner for Haiku. The other brands that Bailey2weeks represents include: Aventura Clothing, Goodhew Socks/Sockwell, ChicoBag, Minus 33, Krimson Klover, and Trust Your Journey.

After a recent move to Anchorage, Alaska, former Haiku Northwest sales rep, Kate Alexander, will continue fostering her longstanding relationships built during her time as a sales representative and she now will represent Haiku in Alaska.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mark and Julie to the Haiku sales team,” said Sharon Eisenhauer, Haiku owner and design director. “And we are so pleased to have Kate remain with Haiku in Alaska,” Eisenhauer continued. “We look forward to having their expertise and skills lead our retailers to success. We are proud to have them on board.”
