Selling kids shoes in Red Deer
Red Deer sits midway between the province’s two big cities and serves the oil services and agricultural country around it. It is a working city whose fortunes track the energy sector closely, and the winters here are long and genuinely cold.
Driving is essential and trucks are ordinary, so size is rarely the obstacle. Winter means block heaters and short daylight, so agreeing a midday time between December and February is practical rather than fussy.
On anything stored in an unheated shop over winter, check seals, hoses and batteries. Deep cold perishes rubber and kills batteries outright, and neither shows until the machine is asked to run.
Red Deer, in Alberta, has around 105,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
