NUCHI Birthday Train program starts strong.
After discussions with several retailers who have had tremendous success withwooden railway over the years we are introducing our birthday promotion set. This is
a very simple set (shown below) designed as the first set for a two year old child. It
comes in a brown cardboard box with a label showing the item number and the set
name. It will cost the retailer $4.50 and has a retail value of more than $20.00.
This “Seed” Set starts the child out with an appropriate amount of railway product
for their age and sets the stage for many years of railway play to come! Once
they’ve mastered the Seed set, they come back to the store for more track, trains,
and accessories building a great railway set for the consumer and a great customer
for the retailer! For this reason it is important for the retailer to support the width of
the Nuchi line to participate in this promotion.
Let us know if you think it can work for you. If you dont think it will, let us tell you why you are wrong. ;-) Kiel

NATIONAL BUY-LOCAL CAMPAIGN FOUNDER TO SPEAK AT SUMMER MARKET
The 3/50 Project’s Cinda Baxter Coming to Pacific Market Center
SEATTLE – Pacific Market Center, announces Cinda Baxter, Founder of The 3/50 Project and social networking pioneer as part of the speaker line-up at the 2009 Summer Market Week. The 3/50 Project, recognized as one of the most successful, fastest growing campaigns in small business history, relies on the simple premise “Pick 3, spend 50, save your local economy.” The 3/50 Project exploded onto the national stage in March with an aim to funnel dollars back into the local economy through support of independent retailers and the consumers who shop with them.
On Friday August 21st, 2009 at 9 a.m. Baxter’s educational seminar titled ‘The 3/50 Project: Building Business From the Ground Up’, will discuss how the Project came to be, what it’s grown into today, and how independent retailers can use it to strengthen their business and reclaim consumer dollars in a positive, effective manner.
“The role of independent retailers is critical for the health, creativity and growth of the retail industry and the vitality of our economy,” said Lisa Goodman, marketing director, Pacific Market Center. “We are honored to have Cinda here to inspire and help these important businesses thrive in this difficult economy.”
As past recipient of two national Retailer Excellence Awards and frequent press coverage ranging from The Wall Street Journal to Fox Business, Cinda now “pays it forward” to retailers and vendors through her consulting company Always Upward and as founder of The 3/50 Project.
Widely recognized as an expert in the gift and stationery industries, Cinda’s resumé includes seats on numerous industry boards including AmericasMart Atlanta and Gift for Life; speaking engagements at trade shows both here and abroad; and a position as Contributing Editor for the gift industry’s largest trade publication, Gifts and Decorative Accessories Magazine. Cinda is also the founder of successful online communities, including RetailSpeaks and Brilliant Ink.
Baxter’s seminar will take place on Friday, August 21, 2009 at Pacific Market Center on the second floor in the Learning Forum from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., with coffee, pastries and networking opportunities taking place beforehand from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. To register for this free seminar, email info@pacmarket.com or call 800-433-1014.
Seattle Market Week and the Summer Gift & Home Accessories Show will take place at the Pacific Market Center Wednesday, August 19 through Tuesday, August 25, 2009. For more information about the show please visit www.pacificmarketcenter.com or call (800) 433-1014.
Reviews Kane-Miller EDC books
| BY Sebastian Meschenmoser $15.99 |
“It is smart, clever, beautifully illustrated, and downright funny. Each season there is one good ‘snow’ book that comes out for kids. This book should be considered the good snow book of this and any other year. Read it! Meschenmoser is our man and if ever there was a book of his deserving of our attention it is Waiting for Winter. Touching and funny by turns, this turns out to be not only an idea winter tale, but also a perfect bedtime story too. For any kid who has ever tried to stay awake for an important event, this tale rings true. A must purchase. Can't talk it up enough.” - A Fuse #8 Production |

Ligretto Arrives, BIG EVENT planned. Can you host?
If you aren't aware of the game yet, take a peek! Click HERE to see the game played and click HERE to see what the packaging looks like and HERE to see the instructions. I love the fast pace of the game that doesn't give you a chance to breath. There's lots of laughing and fun for family and friends.
We would like to have a Ligretto Anytime Weekend July 24th, 25th and 26th. A free play set will be included for orders of 12 pieces and if your store will be taking part in the event along with free electronic copy you can print for in store use, or use in an email blast, and free store signage in the form of a Ligretto window cling.
Introducing a MEDUCATIONAL game......
Scabs and Guts is the new “meducational” board game for kids. Click for the production package shot along with the board and components of the game, and the rules of play.
Scabs and Guts is a great game for kids. But while the focus is on younger children, We think the whole family would get a kick out of the game. There’s a lot of great information, gross words and facts (which you know kids love!) and some silly stunts. I’m sure there will be lots of laughter and bits of learning throughout the game.
Scabs and Guts should be in stock by the end of July. - Kiel

Beware the FAKE JAPANESE ERASERS....Yikes!!
Careful, they are selling FAKE Iwako erasers. BC has the exclusive on Iwako in the United States. Some entities are going to the trouble of importing Iwako into Hong Kong and exporting to the US to get around BC's exclusive. Why take a chance, buy from the company with the largest selection of Japanese erasers in the United States.
