2011 Holiday Spotlight

2011 Holiday Spotlight

There’s More to “Holiday” Than Just December!

Traditionally in the children’s market, “Holiday” denotes an avalanche of must-have toys, as well as fancy dresses and festive sweaters emphasizing velvet shades of red and green for family portraits. In years past, buyers were expected to wrap up their holiday orders for fourth-quarter delivery by July. Now, with more stores placing orders closer to season, and retailers looking for every opportunity to entice customers to buy, Holiday has become a multi-month sales opportunity.

The Holiday gift category remains one of the strongest and most varied in the children’s business. Buy early and often to offer an assortment of gifts throughout all four seasons. June leads the celebrations with grads, dads, vacations, camps, and sleepovers, and there’s no reason to stop the giving spirit from flowing right into the new year!

Under the Nile

(408) 935-9870

Since 1998, Under the Nile has been a leader in the organic industry, producing the softest and most durable cotton apparel, toys and accessories for infants and children. All of our products are made from 100% handpicked organic Egyptian cotton, without the use of pesticides or chemicals throughout the entire production process.

At Under the Nile, we have built a philosophy based on families. We believe that the families that produce our product are as important as the families that purchase them. From the time the cotton seeds are planted, to the growing, weaving and sewing, each and every product is made with both you and our community in mind. Each person is valued for their unique talent and loving commitment to the high quality that makes Under the Nile so special. By cultivating organic cotton, we cultivate the community and the environment that make it possible. We believe that providing work, as well as education and health care, are necessary to help impoverished communities become self-sustaining. In doing this, we are keeping our promise to support our community and foster health and harmony.

Jelly the Pug

On March 20th 2010 Jelly The Pug made the jump from handmade to wholesale! Fast forward a year and some, we are in over 150 specialty retail stores, 32 states in the US and 9 other countries, continuing to grow at about 2 stores a day! Retailers that received their shipments, have already re-ordered, some on several occasions!

What our customers say, they love about us? Price point, design, bright colors, bold patterns, the details in every dress and last but not least flexibility. There are no minimums. We want our retailers to be successful and grow with us with confidence. Each garment is individually packaged. Buy the styles you want in the sizes you want and nothing but!

We are extremely customer oriented and make it a point to remain accessible to our customers at all times. It is our promise to each and every one of our customers that we will respond to your issues if you have any, as we did when we took your money! The personal element will always be a part of Jelly The Pug regardless of how fast we grow or how many retailers we have and we will always try to cater to our customers individually.

Take a look at our collection, and considered us for your store. Jelly The Pug occupies a niche that won’t conflict with your existing lines, and I know they can’t compete with our price points.

Road Rage Jewelry®

Where Style and Self Expression Intersect

Ahh - the lovely tween/teen years. They’re as much a rite of passage for kids as for parents. Road Rage Jewelry® believes it can be done through humor and intelligence. A fun toolbox item is showing young people how to express their views in a positive way, and that’s where Road Rage Jewelry® comes in. Whether it’s a “clown” or a shy tween-ager, they all want to be heard.

In the initial design of our jewelry, we took into consideration some heady topics of concern. Pursuing the “green aspect” - Road Rage Jewelry® is manufactured with recycled lightweight aluminum; the graphics are ROHS (non-lead paint) compliant; and it is made in the United States.

Now the fun part - How many times have you heard from customers about the difficulty buying for teens and tweens? What attracts their attention one moment, is gone the next.

Whether it’s a drama queen or a laid-back surfer/skating dude in the making, Road Rage Jewelry® is an affordable, unisex line of costume jewelry that fits the bill. The charms include a vast array of street signs that have been scaled down in size, and when put together in as many ways as can be imagined, are a funny, eye catching collectible that your buyers will want.

With our trademark and patented design, you will not find Road Rage Jewelry® anywhere.

Check us out at our Website. We’ll leave the light on!
