Thanks to all you folks for visiting with us at our Gift Shows! We appreciate your business during these difficult economic times. We know that you had to somewhat change your buying and make choices regarding which shows you could attend. We are really happy that you stopped by and were able to see the new products.
We are now in the process of getting your orders shipped. The top sellers were our candle holders 365000- 365001- 365002. We sold out immediately!
Item 365000 got our five-star rating: the design and price point was the key. We featured it with our 7 1/2" gravy pan (Item 811255), and it looked great!
The hanging pillar holder (Item 365001) made a great presentation and it was fun to hear you ideas for decorating. We had ideas like placing sand in the pan for a coastal effect, along with a nice cake candle.
Wax Warmers are our speciality and our " Juniors" were a hit. We kept the most popular designs, and made them smaller.
To really top it off, we introduced the Bronze Collection. This finish was the talk of the showroom! We must mention the weathervanes - they continue to get great reviews. The orders poured in for the collection. These weathervanes also got our five-star rating!
The miniature old forge candle lamp (item 744110 - 744111) were added to almost every order. The price point was one deciding factor on these affordable items, ($6.50 for a box of 2!)
We would also like to give a big thanks for your comments on the opening of our permanent Columbus Showroom. We loved that location and enjoyed seeing your folks again.
PS: The orders for our Personalized Catalogs are rolling in. Some people are re-ordering this unique sales tool. We'll be looking forward to hearing from you!
