Cool...my customer had one of my New Products in her dining room

As many of you know, prior to starting my own business, I was a Marketing Director of Consumer Packaged Good.  I worked in Cincinnati at Procter & Gamble, and in Stamford at Mott's/Cadbury Schweppes and NYC at Revlon.  This marketing background (+ my MBA in Marketing from University of Chicago) has served me well in my business.  Marketing was a fun job and rewarding job,  and I especially loved creating new products.

Rose's cocktail infusions

Once I blogged about one of my favorite new products called Rose's Cocktail Infusions. (see above picture).

Well last night was really cool.  I was sitting in my customer's dining room doing the estimate and of course I saw the bottle there.  It turns out that she and he daughter's love them and have been using them for years.  I was so happy and so proud, and I love seeing thee beautiful bottles in the stores.  I feel like a proud mommy.

Debbie- I love the bottles.  Doesn't it make you feel really good when you see that your marketing efforts have hit the mark.  No wonder you're doing so well with your Westchester Flooring.

Debbie~That's quite the resume, now I see why you're so good at marketing yourself. I'm sure glad you're so willing to share with the rest of us. Now I'll have to keep my eye for one of those fancy looking bottles, and I'll be able to tell everyone that I know the person that helped create it.

Have an AWESOME day!

Debbie -- congratulations on having a lasting impact in the marketing world!  I don't believe I have seen those out here, but with the change in our liquor laws coming this summer, they may be more obvious.

Linda - Oh cool.  I'm so glad to hear that!

Kathy - Thank you so much.  Yes, the bottles are the cool part.

Michael - Oh thank you, you are so sweet.  Now, that would be cool.

Steven - Thank you.  Yes, I love making my mark.  I'm betting distribution is weaker on the west coast and the liquor laws vary by state.  Very complex business.
