style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(88, 89, 91);"></span></span><blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(88, 89, 91);">Last month, while browsing the booths at the International Home and Housewares Show, I noticed a strong theme: simplicity.
<br />
<br />Spotted on the showroom floor: Sagafrom's minimalist self-watering plant container; Simple Human's shower dispensers, which edit the visual clutter of personal care products (and their packaging); and tabletop trends kickin' it earthenware-style with rustic and raw designs.
<br />
<br />In this economy, is it any surprise that consumers are craving a redirect to simplicity? A recent survey by Euro RSCG found that shopper mindsets in the U.S., U.K. and France are shifting to a desire for "voluntary simplicity" (<i>Financial Times</i> 4.8.09). Whether personal bank accounts are affected or not, there's a sense that the accumulation of stuff is part of what got us into this mess.
<br />
<br />Luckily, simplicity is a value that can be telegraphed to multiple marketing opportunities, whether product design, packaging or positioning. To start, offer the consumer an escape — mentally, emotionally, physically, visually — from the disorder of the economic downturn. </span>
<br /></span></blockquote></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I often think of Rome cookware as having just the right amount of simplicity to make the products easy for anyone to use, yet with enough twists to the designs to keep them interesting and unique. That's probably one of the real appeals to our line and a key areas of continuity for what we're doing.

All signs indicate that staycation 2.0 is on it's way. Remember, the staycation is not just the backyard, it's local & state parks and visits within a day's drive. Campground pre-bookings are up all over the country & camping product sales are holding their own so far. </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"><br />"Chain Stores Ring Up Early Camping Sales</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Chain stores brought in $99M, down 17% in units and 18% in dollars from last February. As in specialty stores, nearly every category declined this month, with apparel categories falling the hardest. Positively, sales growth came out of water bottles, recreation tents, rectangular sleeping bags, camp cookware, water purification and hiking boots, suggesting that camping and outdoor vacations continue to resonate with cash-strapped consumers in early 2009."</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">source:</span><a style="font-family: arial;"

Over the past few years, we've been hearing from more and more customers who use our products year round. Be it a nippy winter gathering around the firepit or even in the fireplace, this is the time when Rome dealers should think outside the campground.<br /><br />We should also not forget the potential for holiday gift giving.

The show is broadcast on the 50,000 watt powerhouse <a href="http://www.700thezone.com/">AM 700 The Zone</a> in Salt Lake City. <br /><br />Having a hotel with an indy coffee shop literally next door which allowed me to swagger past the 50 person deep crowds at the show espresso bar - Americano in hand.<br /><br />After 16 years in the biz, I finally figured out the secret to driving traffic into the booth. DOGS! My neighbors, <a href="http://www.rumreggae.net/">Rum Reggae</a> had their two black labs "work" the show and it was amazing to watch the number of buyers/reps/exhibitors who stopped to pet them.

If you're a customer of ours you most likely work with one of our regional independent sales reps.<br /><br />We have a nearly nationwide network of reps who do a phenomenal job of bringing Rome to you. If you'd like have a local Rome rep call on you, please take a look at our rep guide (<a href="http://romeindustries.com/gdnsalesreps.html">garden</a>) (<a href="http://romeindustries.com/campsalesreps.html">cookware</a>).<br /><br />Speaking of reps, July of this year was a particular milestone for our rep, <a href="http://www.teamtotal.com/index.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Total Marketing Associates</span></a> as they celebrated 30 years in business! Garden centers and hardware stores in the midwest should be quite familiar with Fred Cimaglio and the talented staff of sales & marketing professionals that he has nurture since 1977. Big or small if your store is in Total Marketing's territory you'll be treated with real personal attention, respect & an enthusiasm to help your business grow. Their mantra is "To do the Best, With the Best, For the Best!" and I have to say that from our 10 years of experience with Team Total they hold to that mission.<br /><br />I hope you'll join us in congratulating Total Marketing with this great achievement.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0S2xfTgYR7vMh6dgv-Xc_qfq6q3rTCkWaobtN5qCYnH_A3ZaZlT-k374g-qrjJPzk2hFn7z_5IgWif2pP3KhWSo9qZrJpcOLQVvywtXUGjw0Edqtm0gkWV_-zTACVTHzMX9rH8qJwh3Fn/s1600-h/total_30_a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0S2xfTgYR7vMh6dgv-Xc_qfq6q3rTCkWaobtN5qCYnH_A3ZaZlT-k374g-qrjJPzk2hFn7z_5IgWif2pP3KhWSo9qZrJpcOLQVvywtXUGjw0Edqtm0gkWV_-zTACVTHzMX9rH8qJwh3Fn/s400/total_30_a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093796373975399714" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
