January Shows


Hi all:

When the store slows down in January, we don't take a vacation or just relax...oh no, that would be too easy! We headed to Atlanta, Minneapolis and Chicago for gift shows. And we don't just go to see what new products are out there that would fit into our store....that would be too easy too! No, we set up a booth and present our eco dotz candle creation stations to other retailers who may be interested in this concept for their stores. We had a great month and met so many nice new people. We did well too and sold lots of lots of accounts. Thanks in part to our new reping company Beth Bingham and Co. who is helping us get ourselves established in this gift industry.

Thanks also to my great sister Julie who attended the Atlanta show with us. So much fun catching up with her and picking her amazing brain about how to structure our brand, and channel strategy. Her input has been instrumental in our growth plans.

So, now the work begins! We are busy getting the orders together and shipped to all of our wonderful new accounts. Check out our eco dotz website for more information about our new wholesale divison. www.ecodotz.com
