My grandson does not miss anything and doesn't forget anything either.
He wrote down the 800-number so that I could order his special Star Wars Set of Mighty Beanz. He quizzed me afterward to be sure that I had in fact ordered them and he knew exactly which ones should be arriving.
He's been keeping track of the weeks as they tick away...4 to 6 weeks is a long wait!
Now, you can buy these things in the stores, but this is a special set "Available only by this special TV offer" - no fudging. He knows.
When I called the 800 number, I was stuck in an endless conversation with a computer on the other end of the line. This wasn't fun and had it not been for my grandson's high expectations I would have hung up and not completed the order.
It's amazing how children drive a market. I remember praying I would get to the store in time to purchase a Cabbage Patch Doll or a Tickle me Elmo before they were all sold-out.
We go to great lengths not to disappoint our kids if we can help it.
It's incredible how persuasive the little tykes can be.
I have a new listing in the Village to sell, and a new marketing campaign during the Saturday morning cartoons!
MIGHTY CABIN, be the first in your neighborhood to get one.....fishing, hiking, fun with Dad, roast marshmallows, collect rocks, Ice Cream Parlor in town, complete with T.V.....fun for the whole family...
