No Fairs This Year

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I usually take my pajamas on the road in the summer to different county fairs. The Del Fair in San Diego County and the California State Fair in Sacramento are my two best events of the year. Unfortunately, we did not sign up to participate in any fairs this year simply due to the enormous costs involved. I got several phone calls from customers who called wanting to know if I had changed locations at the fair grounds. I hadn’t changed locations, I just was not there. So I want to say sorry to all my customers who were disappointed to not find me at my usual spot. I hope that the economy improves so that I can return in 2010. In the meantime, I am mailing out postcards and offering discounts to all my customers who respond. If you didn’t get a postcard, send me your address and you’ll get free shipping and other merchandise offers in return. and thanks for all your support.

Massachusetts Women’s Conference

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

I just got back from another incredible women’s conference, this time in Boston, Mass, on December 11th. Everyone was interested in my pjs thanks to the big pink signs that say HOT FLASH PAJAMAS I hang over the back of the booth. What is that? everyone asks. Even the forklift operators came over to check out our booth. Women from upstairs in the rooms overlooking the huge Boston Convention Center said they saw our signs from overhead and had to come downstairs to check us out. Some gals reported that we were the talk of the conference because no one had ever heard of hot flash pjs. We had another record day in sales, something we are most grateful for in this market environment. Thanks to my husband Richard and daughter Julianna, who flew out to Boston with me to help me at this event. When it was over, we got to enjoy the fabulous city and the great clam chowdah served everywhere.
