Loving big dogs is easy. We love that big bark, the huge paws, how heavy they are when they try to cuddle like a lap dog…but those bigger breeds also present bigger challenges.

Give Your Customers Maximum Protection With Wave Shield
For years, scientists have debated the possibility of radiation from cell phones causing cancer in users. As their debate rages, many customers are quickly losing interest in maintaining a wait-and-see approach. They would rather be safe now than sorry later. And that means giving them the option to purchase something sure to protect them beyond any shadow of a doubt. They want Wave Shield!
Stick. Protect.
Cell phone radiation is an unmitigated reality. Across the globe there is growing belief that the danger from that radiation is very real, and in 2011 the World Health Organization formerly announced that radiation from cell phones could cause cancer. Even so, the issue continues to remain unaddressed by manufactures.
It’s time for an answer. Wave Shield is made from a patented material that doesn’t allow non ionizing radiation to pass through it, and it’s a simple addition to almost any mobile, cell or cordless phone. There’s even a version to protect the user from radiation put off by computer monitors.
Wave Shield blocks up to 99% of potentially harmful radiation, more than any other shield on the market, and use is a breeze. Your customer simply sticks it on the earpiece of their phone and they are fully protected!
Why It Works
Why protect the earpiece specifically? Because the ear is susceptible to the highest radiation absorption rate in the body at 94%. Most new information clearly points to the area inside the ear near the aural nerve or at the end of the ear canal as places where most new incidences of brain tumors are growing. This makes it essential for the ear canal to be protected as much as possible.
If your customers are impatient with the lack of a clear verdict on the harmfulness of cell phone radiation, give them the solution they’re looking for. Give them Wave Shield!

Chubby Chap Has It All
Customers are growing more selective of what ingredients they’ll accept in the products they purchase and where they are made. Items that are 100 percent natural and made in the U.S.A can be the deciding factors in a customer’s purchase. Chubby Chap is an excellent example of a product that is chosen specifically for its high-quality ingredients and country of origin.
All-American
Chubby Chap is a product that has it all– it has natural ingredients, is made in the U.S.A, and it is very unique. This .5 oz tube is three times the size of a normal tube of lip balm, insuring the ability to be found in any purse or pocket. Nominated for Martha Stewart American Made 2013 Audience Choice Award, Chubby Chap is a recognizable product not only because of its size.
Natural and Sweet
Free from petroleum and phthalate, this lip balm comes in 11 different flavors: buttercream, vanilla, huckleberry, mango, peach daiquiri, pomegranate, strawberry banana, and other seasonal aromas. The Sport line, with flavors in twisted tangerine, pina colada, and sun-kissed vanilla, includes 15 SPF.
Made with coconut oil, beeswax, honey, and fragrance oils, customers will relish Chubby Chap’s smooth texture and moisturizing distinction from mainstream brand lip balms.
When supplying a store, finding merchandise that can be bought by a variety of customers is important, especially during the winter shopping season.
Check out Chubby Chap. It makes a great gift for any occasion and its natural ingredients allow customers to purchase for even their most skin-sensitive family members and friends.
Find Your Audience
February 2014
 Little Merry FellowsFind Your Audience I’ve talked about how to make your content as accessible as possible for readers and how to make it easily sharable, but now I’d like to talk about how you find those readers in the first place. It takes a little more leg-work if the goal is to get your content into as many hands as possible. How to Find an AudienceYes, the people who follow you on social media are an audience, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look for more. Here are two ideas you might want to consider: 1. Find a Niche Community – What is a niche community? It’s a community dedicated to your particular niche. Are you a florist? Find a flower lovers Facebook group or an online forum. Whatever your business, there are people online who love it and talk about it. Find them. 2. Guest Bloggers – Nothing spices up a blog more than a guest blogger. It helps if this is a recognizable name from your industry, but even if it’s just another shop owner with some good info to share, it will do wonders for your site views. Extra effort can be difficult to find when you’ve exhausted yourself with the customers you do have, but more customers equals more success and more success will allow you to hire more help! |

 Green Mountain Florist Supply, Inc.Refining Content and Increasing ViewsQuality online content is the easiest and cheapest way to grow your business. Converting “Them” to “Us”If there is one universal truth, it is that people like to be included. If there’s a club, they want to be part of it. Everyone wants to run with the “in crowd”. When you share what is happening with your business, you bring your customers into the fold. Share and Share Alike So now that you’ve written this creative and engaging content, how do you get it to your customer? Through social media of course! When you’ve completed that new blog post, your next step is to share the link on Facebook and Twitter. This lets all of your followers know you’ve got something new to share. Content is important, but if you’re not making it readily available to your customers, it’s doing you little good. So go forth and write creatively, but don’t forget to share! Read More |

Experience The Tradition of Natural Castile Soaps with Dr. Jacobs Naturals
Let me introduce to you Dr. Jacobs, a talented Swiss chemist that perfected the long-standing tradition of making Castile soap at the turn of the nineteenth-century. We are fascinated by his work because this type of soap is so versatile and gives rise to the wonderful Dr. Jacobs Naturals line of Castile soaps.
Using Dr. Jacobs own recipe, this company creates natural soap products that are a gentle and effective alternative to shampoo, conditioner, body wash and facial cleanser. Not to mention it is also a great household cleaner, laundry detergent and dish soap. This is a soap that can truly do it all with the power of natural ingredients!
Natural Soap For A Natural Clean
All of Dr. Jacobs Naturals Castile soaps are crafted with pure olive oil and are 100% vegetable based. All products are mild with a creamy non-greasy lather that will not clog pores making it safe for the most sensitive skin types, even babies!
Essential oils are added for a delicious scent as well as their own natural benefits.
Try lavender for a relaxing and de-stressing experience. Eucalyptus helps sooth sinuses and is a potent antiseptic. The honey and almond is a creamy blend that is nourishing for skin and rich in antioxidants.
There is simply a scent for everyone with each bottle sporting a convenient hand pump and an attractive label. The entire product line is designed with a color palette and floral patterns taken from vintage botanical texts. This old world feel is very on-trend. With simple color-coding and the combinations of hand fonts, the packaging has a fresh contemporary appeal that will make these soaps your most popular items.
Need Wholesale Castile Soap? No Problem!
For easy wholesale service, visit their website, click on “wholesale” and you can sign up for great service. Couldn’t be easier. And if you are still wondering if these products are right for your shop, you can always order a free sample!
