Atlanta Gift Show

Well summer is upon us and I have been completely MIA from my blog. Adjusting to life with the girls out of their normal schedules has been interesting to say the least. But I promise to make a better effort now that I am over the shock of having to parent my children for so many more hours in the day.

I just arrived in Atlanta a few hours ago. I am traveling with Nora, the sales manager from BabyLegs (who I love) and we will be meeting with the BL Atlanta reps in the morning. It will be great to tour the Atlanta Gift Mart during this show and scout for WooBee reps, check out what's new on the gift scene, and see how they do things here in the South. We are staying until Monday morning when we will fly to Chicago to meet with the BL reps there (and go out from some good steak) and check out the Chicago Gift Mart. Flying home on Tuesday morning in time to pick my girls up from summer camp.

A lot of Woobee stuff going on these days. I now have a distributor in Singapore who also wants to cover Malaysia, Indonesia and Korea. That has been very exciting and much work. There is also the big ABC Kids show coming up in early September which I will be at with Woobee and BabyLegs for 7 days. I plan on making WooBee really stand out at this show which is taking a lot of work. And BabyLegs has had so much to do in my department - which is great. So this trip is like a little vacation.

Enjoy the weekend!

Love your line and your blog!
I am about to officially launch my line of baby and toddler products at the August ENK Children's Club in NY, followed by the Las Vegas ABC Kids Show in September. I too am a busy mom to two energetic boys managing a part time job and now my new company which is my absolute passion and joy! I was pulld from the sold out ABC Kids Show's waiting list just a few days ago and am working tirelessly around the clock to get ready. It's challenging yet exciting to introduce my line to thousands of buyers and to get all the proper marketing material ready for the press on such short notice. Since you are a veteran in this business, I was wandering if you may be willing to give me some tips or practical advise on how to best prepare? I appreciate your guidance, and best of luck and success at your upcoming shows! Stella of Tivoli Couture.
