Three Months Passed!

Trade Shows
A lot has happened in the last 3 months. Three different trade shows Promotional Products Association International, BDA (largest merchandise agency) preferred suppliers, and the Photo Marketing Association.

All were different, and we had a great response from buyers for our new FodeoFlip product and the Fodeo Photo Montage Service Package. The Time Capsule seems to be geared more toward the gift market.

We have over 75 promotional distributors patiently waiting for samples of the FodeoFlip, and numerous more retailers ready to buy when they're ready. I had no idea product development could take so long!

Opportunities that rose out of the shows . . . Fodeos have been presented to MLB sponsors of the All-Star Game, and I'm told orders should start coming in during March and April. FodeoFlips are also being considered for stadium giveaways across the country by numerous major league teams. And a meeting was held today with NBC to present Fodeos and FodeoFlips as retail items for NBC.com and NBC stores at Rockefeller Center and airports nationwide.

Now that the trade shows are behind us, I'll try to focus regularly on updating the blog. Please watch in the coming days for info on working with a web designer, tips on developing a new product, and other tidbits I hope you find helpful.

Thanks for checking in!
