Industrial Revolution

I bought a business on April 1, 2005. I'll update the blog a few times a week to share some of my experiences.

I Want That! TONIGHT!

I mentioned that the ball will be on I Want That on HGTV. The initial airing of the episode is tonight (8:30 Eastern / Pacific). This afternoon their website went live showing the products that will be featured on the show. In a wonderful break, on the website the first of the sixteen products that will be shown is our ice cream ball! So anyone who visits the products page for the show will immediately see a picture of the ball with ice cream coming out! Beautiful! It's also got a full list of the relevant websites, starting with icecreamrevolution.com and then showing all our primary customers.

Home and Garden TV

Anyone with access to Home and Garden TV...
FYI: "I Want That!" Episode #304 will debut on Wed, January 18th @ 8:30pm EST/PST on HGTV. And, it will re-air on Thur, January 19th at 12:30am EST/PST and Sun, January 22nd @ 1 pm EST/PST.
Please note that HGTV can change the show time at a moment's notice! As we get closer to January 18th, it's a good idea to check the "Program Guide" on HGTV.com for the specific time when this episode will be on TV. Here's a link to that page: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/program_guide/0,1783,HGTV_3658,00.html
**Based on our other clients that have had products appear on the show, they have noticed an increase in sales.

People Magazine!

The December 5, 2005 issue of People Magazine showcases (well, not really showcases, but we're in there) one of our products. The ice cream maker, you say. No. The Candlelier, that's a nice product. Nope. A 3-pack of regular candles? Yes!

On page 131 begins an article about Sela Ward, Emmy-award-winning TV actress. Page 132 talks about her family's discussion about how to help the victims of hurricane Katrina. They were unsatisfied with the emergency kits they found on the market and decided to create and sell their own. And when I say they, I mean their 11-year-old son, Austin. He's shown on the website as the president of the company. So, long story short, our candles are in their family packs and the deluxe car pack. And therefore they appeared in the picture in the story showing the basic family pack!
