I just got back from the ABC show in Las Vegas and wanted to share some pictures with everyone. Our concept was to keep the booth very clean and white, like the Puj Tub. It worked great. We stood out quite a bit compared to all the other booths that were full of color and images. I can't take full credit for the booth design, Ben came up with the white idea. But I can be held resposible for the cool wall along the back. It was two weeks before the show and we needed something that was light-weight and easy to ship. Why not boxes I said. It worked! People kept mentioning how much they loved it.
It was so overwheming to see peoples response to Puj and the Puj Tub. In sports terms I believe they call it a home-run. The best part was Ben & I got to share in the success together. The last 3+ years working on Puj is paying off.
Ben flew straight to Germany for another conference to meet with Distributors all over the world. He just called and had good news to report, Puj is going to be Global really soon. They all want it!
One of my favorite parts was meeting the personalities behind some really great brands like Fleurville, Skip Hop, Orbit Strollers, Bugaboo, See Kai Run, Boon, JJ Cole, etc.
My friend Dianna came along to help, and we could not have done it all without her. She was amazing, and quite the sales woman I might add.
I got all choaked up when I saw my company name (that I created) and address printed on the first box of Tubs we received from our manufacturer.

Congratulations, Ben and Katie! I hope you make it bigtime!
The display looks great! I can imagine the clean design really stuck out. Congrats!
Fancy! Can I come to Oprah when you are on? I am serious. I could be your gopher for the day or something... bring you water with lemon?
And I'll promise to massage your feet and shoulders with peppermint lotion if I can come, too!
And really, is it okay if a post about a tub is making me wanna cry and say, "Katie, I love you!" And I'm not even pregnant.
It all looks awesome! I'll watch your boys if you want to go to Germany with Ben :)
Oh, and that bargain dress looks hot on you!
