An addendum...

An addendum to our thank-you note from last night: Apparently, we were too popular. Sometime before we got in today, someone came into our booth and ransacked the little joint, taking about a quarter of our samples right off our wall and helping themselves to a variety of our other property.

Thank you to everyone...

Thank you to the more than 700 drycleaners and distributors who have visited our cramped 10-by-10-foot booth.

Thank you all for validating our decision to create a pouch for hangers. Your enthusiastic response has been thrilling to us.

Thank you to everyone who not only wanted a sample of our new shirt box bag, but proudly displayed it as you continued to walk the convention floor.

Boy, is it busy ...

Boy, is it busy. From 8:05 this morning to now, not a second without a line of people waiting to talk about The Green Garmento. So happy about the level of interest—we went through four days of samples in one. Just going back to the booth after asking our warehouse to send us more.

Drycleaners are loving our new innovations. I’d love to tell you more but I can see the booth from here and I’m needed. I’ll fill you in more later.

New Media, New Opportunities

CHICAGO — The year was 1977. I was 20 years old, creating advertising supplements for shopping malls, and I had the opportunity to use a new technology—the Exxon QWIP machine.

I would put a piece of paper into a small mimeograph-like machine and put a phone handset into a cradle; then, I would stand in amazement as the paper spun. Four minutes later, an ad produced in New Jersey was visible in Maryland. Wow—a technology that communicated printed matter through a phone!
