Back from Buying Trip

pajamalady · February 15th, 2007, 10:35 AM

I just got back from three days at trade shows in Las Vegas. We found tons of great new products for both this spring and next fall. Here is a quick list of what is coming in:

- Marilyn Monroe pajamas for women
- I Love Lucy pajamas for women
- Nestles candy pajamas for women
- Diego pajamas for boys
- Dora pajamas for girls
- Spongebob pajamas for kids
- Thomas the Tank pajamas for kids
- Disney Princess pajamas for girls
- Spongebob, Family Guy, South Park, and Simpsons boxers and pj pants for men
- Rubik Cube boxer shorts (really cool!)
- Strawberry Shortcake, Curious George, Care Bears and Peanuts pajamas for juniors

A few of our new products will tie into movies coming out this spring/summer. For instance, The Transformers (due out July 4) is predicted to be a big summer blockbuster. We have boys pjs and men's boxer and pj pants on the way. Shrek 3 is coming out this spring. We will have kids pjs in new Shrek 3 prints. Spider-man 3 is also coming out this spring. We have boy's pajamas and men's boxer and pj pants for that movie as well.

Another great find at the shows were tons of 100% cotton pajamas for kids. These can be hard to find at reasonable prices, but we found three new vendors for these. We bought at great prices, so we will be able to sell these in the $9.99 to $14.99 range depending on the brand. (Customers tend to buy several pair of these pjs at a time.)

The spring inventory will start coming in next week and continue coming through April. I will let you know through ABW when new merchandise comes in. I am also trying to keep our www.sleepwearaffiliateblog.com updated with new arrival information. Sarah will keep the data feed up-to-date.

But.... my greatest surprise of my trip... I was placing my big Spongebob, Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, etc. boxer/pj pants order when my cell phone rang. Who is it? CT... Carolyn Tang... with great (and shocking!) news... we were nominated for affiliate program of the year. I was in complete shock. This was quite the unexpected surprise. What a great compliment just to be nominated. I really appreciate everyone's support.

Haha PJ you shouldn't be shocked to have been nominated for an award at ABW. First of all you and CT run a nice program. Second we affiliates WORK in our PJs so we have a heightened appreciation for what you sell!

Didja get any Looney Tunes stuff?

pajamalady · February 15th, 2007, 11:38 AM

I did find some Taz boxers. I think that was it for Looney Tunes.

I forgot to mention some really funny nightshirts and pjs for women by a brand called Emerson. My description will probably not do them justice. So I will post photos when they come in.

BeachBDM · February 15th, 2007, 11:42 AM

I will be looking forward to the Marilyn Monroe PJ's. I will be the first in line to buy! Have teenage daughter that loves her! Please keep me informed.

Pink flannels and teddy bear slippers to be exact.

UncleScooter · February 15th, 2007, 12:05 PM

This is one of the best managed programs in the biz.
Not to mention the fact that they have fish slippers that actually fit my size 14 feet!!! I am wearing them right now because they are WARM and right now it is COLD outside and the floor of my motorhome is COLD so I am wearing my adidas warmup suit with my fish slippers but ssshhhhh, don't tell anyone

Carolyn - ShareASale · February 15th, 2007, 12:06 PM

I think it's up to 10 degrees now. The dog and cat are cuddled together in front of the heat register.

Rhea · February 15th, 2007, 12:13 PM

Yeah, I think it hit 10 degrees here, too. Not that it matters because the wind chill puts us right back at below zero temps.

Wherefore art thou, Spring?

msladybug · February 15th, 2007, 02:15 PM

Wow Melissa - Sounds like some great new products coming in and I'm looking forward to promoting them.

You and Carolyn have put together a top notch program and it deserves to be recognized. Good Luck!

Travelin Man · February 15th, 2007, 06:18 PM

Congrats on your nomination!

I'm not surprised though. You run a great operation. I've been an affiliate for more than two years now and you've been nothing but super!

Hey, I was impressed during my visit to your store last October. That's a hell of a inventory you have and you keep making it better. Excellent work!

- Looking forward to your new products.

Crocket · February 15th, 2007, 07:31 PM

If I had to choose which merchants to remove from my site, I can tell you CFB would NOT be one of them. I love ya'll and can't wait for the new items.

Scott Campbell · February 16th, 2007, 02:35 AM

A great new list of pj's melissa! I bet you had fun at the Majic show. I can't wait for all those movie launch dates.

Congratulations on the nomination, it could not happen to a better program.
