I am interested. I have only attended the NYIGF (I have not signed up for this year, however), but I have wanted to be a vendor in the Accessories show.

Rita Hockenbury replied to Kim Lavine's discussion 'AmericasMart in Atlanta in January?'
Kim, Can you give us any details re: the booth size? As you can imagine, I am toying with the idea of saving a little(!) money and letting our other booth go. However, we wrote 50 orders there last year (it was our second time at this show) and…

Hello all, I think that this is a great idea and should do very well in this show. I have just sent in my deposit for a booth, but would be interested in getting in here. I am hesitant, however, as this is really a great/busy show for us and…

Rita, Thank you for the candid advice regarding Endicia, I was concerned about labeling and tracking, but it sounds like I can still do that and I simply need to explore some of the carriers. How did you find your factory that you love so much?…

Ha! Just went back and read Kim's post. I am looking for a fulfillment company right now as well. The factory (I love my factory!) that makes my product hires the disabled, but they found it not profitable to do my shipping, too (took too much…

Profile Information

About Me:
Launched Vizini in Fall '07 and have finally become comfortable with feeling "uncomfortable". With a supportive husband and two teenage daughters rooting for me, I will persevere.
Business Description or Elevator Pitch
Vizini is a totally strapless sun visor that slips onto your sunglasses and protects your eyes. This revolutionary sunvisor protects your eyes and keeps your eye area "squint-free" when you're in the sun without hat-hair or the headaches that the traditional strap/clamp-style visors give you.

Like the donkey that fell in the well (whose owner sympathically decided to give a quick burial), when you get dirt thrown on your back, shake it off and take a step up!

Rita,

Thank you for the candid advice regarding Endicia, I was concerned about labeling and tracking, but it sounds like I can still do that and I simply need to explore some of the carriers. How did you find your factory that you love so much? What kind of minimums did they require? I am in Illinois, so I am certain Chicago must have some good sew houses. Thanks again.

Greetings this wonderful Morning Rita! Hope all is going well ;0) I must say i truly love your Visors! So cool and very pretty. Hope you are enjoying MM, so much to learn and so many wonderful people to help you along the way.

Wishing you a Awesome day!!!

Hi Rita, I've been meaning to stop by and THANK YOU for sending me your ingenious visor samples. You've really got something here! This is the perfect accessory for women who don't want to wear hats, or who want to keep something handy in their purse without carrying around a hat.
I've been seeing those cleavage covers on TV ads recently, and I think you have a comparable niche. Have you tried Starcrest? Are you selling to retailers yet?
Thanks again! Don't ever give up!
Kim

Hey there! So cool that I saw you here today. I know you've been here for a while, but I saw the Vizini somewhere else, totally unrelated to MM. (I visit too many places, so can't remember where right at the moment). Anyway, just wanted to say I think those are very cool!!
