Hello Retail
ByToday was a big day. Quirky’s first big shipment left the warehouse headed to an (unfortunately still unnamed) national retailer.
Sure, we’re excited about going to retail… but BEYOND that how could we not be excited about how sexy these boxes look?
We’re getting ready to announce who our new partners are and will (hopefully) share the news with you in the coming weeks. The hold up has been in trying to structure a major announcement and break the news in a major publication. Leaking it to the community might damage the chances of us getting the media excited about “the scoop”.
More to come. Until then….. MAZEL TOV!
Thank you to our community, staff, and partners around the world who have made today possible. Major milestone. But only the beginning.
I’m going to bed.

Has there ever been a product that has gone to a major retailer that has been touched by so many people? Now that’s what you call Social Media. Way to go QUIRKY!

That is so exciting to see and really love the new logo. I wish I knew who the retailer was…it’s could be anyone…. Maybe a hot BATH will help clear my head before I go to BED….BEYOND that I really don’t know

Gonna be cool to be on the road some day, and see an 18 wheeler with a purple trailer and Q on the side “Hey, I influenced that!”

What a rush!

This is really exciting. Retail is huge.
I was talking with a guy who’s tied into the ASOTV (as seen on TV) business and he said that infomercials make money but the big money is when you hit retail. Cha-Ching.
Soon the Quirky logo will as as ubiquitous as the ASOTV little red box logo.
Congratulations Ben and crew.

Adam Suhy | 12/07/2010 6:01 PM
Is that an unknown quircky product as well?
michelletrex | 12/08/2010 3:44 AM
Oh that’s terrific, and I’d be even more excited after I’m over the jet lag, I might have a bath and go to bed and see how I feel beyond that in the morning.

You have come a long way baby!

So where is this big announcement? I know patience is a virtue and all, but sheesh!
Jim Young | 12/08/2010 4:24 PM
Those boxes are full of Keiros, maybe.
