Afternoon Update - 10/6

Hello everyone -

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows that tonight at midnight our ToyDay coupon will expire.

This week has been amazing so far, we have seen numbers way exceed our expectations. Just got to love Q4!

The early indication is that Halloween Costumes will go on sale next week Wed-Fri, but we are going to check margins and make sure that is doable.

Telescopes, Roboraptors and our Lego Mindstorm toys have been really popular this week. We hope that this a trend that continues. Roboreptiles have been moving too, a great sign of things to come.

Thats it for this week. I'll be back Tuesday with updates for everyone.

Take care,

Michael

Afternoon Update - 10/5

Good afternoon everyone,

Just wanted to update everyone and let you know that we have our Roboreptile images coming soon, should be here on the 12th of the month, and the minute I get them, they are going right to on CJ.

Telescopes seem to be REALLY hot right now. We have seen their sales double in the last few weeks. I don't know if telescopes in general are going to be one of the "it" gifts of the year, but they are taking off. We are lucky in the fact too we have a partnership with Meade, and they do make high quality products.

If you all have noticed any coupons that are not longer active, please let me know, so I can either go ahead and re-activate them, or provide you and your site with a new one.

Thanks everyone!

Michael

RoboReptile - Inventory of this years hot product

Morning Everyone,

As many of you have heard the last few nights on TV and the radio, and probably read it a place or two online, this year's holiday season is looking like it will surpass last years.

With hot toys such as TMX Elmo and others, people are rushing out to get their favorite holiday toy sooner rather then later.

Many of you affiliates know we blew through our inventory last year of RoboRaptors (the Roboreptile's older brother) and we were out by early December. We feel confident that the Discovery Channel has enough Roboreptiles to fill the demand.

Our branded stores have seen them begin to come of the shelf, and looking at our numbers everyday, we see a significant sales through you our affiliates as well.

To make sure everyone can get a piece of the action, I have put in a request to our graphic team to get our Roboreptile banners up and running ASAP so all of our affiliates can advertise them on their site.

I am hoping that by the middle of next week we will have the banners up and running on Commission Junction.

The Discovery Exlcusive Roboreptile with Chromashift is really a great toy, and we are surprised how popular it has become already, and we know that in the coming weeks, its popularity will grow...so these banners will help everyone make their sales as soon as they post them on their site.

Thanks everyone, top products of the day are coming a bit later.

Michael
