Long term relationships are special, we cherish them, but new projects and assignments get you “out of the box” and into new ways of doing and thinking. Here are new additions to the Building Q client roster in the past few months:
MotoCycle: Not “just” licensed motorcycle accessories, Moto is offering licensed bikes! Their small cc “mini bikes” sport licensed graphics and add a whole new dimension to the category. For more information see the Client Spotlight on p. 4!
Doskocil / Petmate / Aspen: As the parent company to Aspen Pet and Petmate, Doskocil is one of the largest pet products companies. Building Q is expanding its licensing role with Aspen Pet to include the Petmate Division and the Doskocil Company. Look for a major impact at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando in February.
Bandals: New “Patented” Footwear? Yes, its’ true. Bandals offers an interchangeable band – each “Bandal” comes with 3 sets of “bands” so you can be stylin’ no matter what the dress code… and licensors will love the design options! For more info see the Client Spotlight on p. 4 or go to bandals.com!
ETERNAL IMAGE, INC.
Eternal Image, Inc. engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand image funerary products such as caskets, urns, monuments and vaults, announced that the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 has been declared effective by the SEC. As a result of the registration process, Eternal Image has become a fully reporting company. The Company will now have an application submitted to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for approval to have its common stock traded on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTC:BB).
100 MILES?
One of the joys of business is finding friends and business associates who share a passion. For the past 2 summers, Sam Gutman, President of Bakery Crafts has invited me to be part of the “Team Cincinnati” bicycle tour. This summer we rode for 6 days in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. In case you wonder what 100 miles looks like – here is a photo of Sam and I enjoying a post ride refreshment. Note the dazed and confused expressions. The following day we had “only” an 80-mile day scheduled.
HASTA IMPOSTA!
Gary Schneider, a key part of Building Q for the past 10 years, left in August to become General Manager, Marketing and Licensing at Rasta Imposta, a Costume Manufacturer and licensee of Tootsie Roll, M&M's, Teletubbies, Classic Strawberry Shortcake and more. Although it is sad to have such a key person depart, it is exciting and rewarding to know that he is prepared so well and will be successful in growing Rasta Imposta.Now I understand why all those Bob Marley songs were on his IPOD. For all you fans who missed - Gary
can be reached at 856-939-9599 or gary@rastaimposta.com.
