What's Your Breed @ Winter Woofstock
FouFou Dog is taking 'What's Your Breed?' to a whole new level by kicking off its campaign at the 1st Annual Winter Woofstock consumer show at the Direct Energy Center. November 27, 2010 marked the first day of its launch and FouFou Dog is pleased to announce - it was a great success.
The large 20' x 20' space drew in crowds of families and dog lovers galore with free prizes of FouFou Dog luggage tags, pens, bags, charms, gift certificates, and fresh popcorn.
In order to get your paws on these prizes and give-aways, you merely needed to fill out a ballot registering your dog's breed and birthday with us so that we can be sure to make your pooch feel special on his/her special day every year.
If you missed out on this opportunity today, visit us tomorrow at Winter Woofstock Booth #1515 (Direct Energy Center) from 10 am - 7 pm.

Back to Back to Back to Back Tradeshows...
It's that time of the year again... trade show season.. starting from ExpoZoo (Quebec) in August to SuperZoo (Las Vegas) and PIJAC (Toronto) in September to HH Backer (Chicago) just around the corner in October. The fall-winter season is THE busiest time of the year and FouFou Dog is running around like a chicken with its head cut-off; with phones ringing off the hook, fax-in orders coming in incessantly, sales reps bombarding us with orders, and incoming shipments full of Fall-Winter-Holiday goodies that needed to ship out yesterday.
It's literally a zoo at FouFou Dog these days... but we're truely loving every minute of it. How can anyone complain about a flourishing business with products that are in high-demand?
The overtime hours, getting down and dirty with sweat, bruises, sore muscles, a constant grumbling stomach, high-stress craziness, and overdose of caffeine is a small price to pay for the joy of watching your business grow.

Trade Show Mishaps
FouFou Dog has encountered many "mishaps" over the years from exhibiting at trade shows worldwide.
We've left samples and display items at home and have had to courier them over to the show on overnight service. We've had our entire crate with all of our exhibiting contents arrive late AND not at all to our booth location. We've had our empty boxes damaged and misplaced when packing up our booth. We've had display cases shatter in our hands as we were dismantling the booth. We've had catalogues shipped to us which were damaged in transit and the most recent mishap which took place at last weekend's ExpoZoo show in Quebec involved forgetting to bring the metal stands that we use to display all of our apparel items.
You would think that after 6 years of trade show exhibitions, that we'd be pro's by now... but I guess it goes to show that everybody makes mistakes. Luckily, we HAVE become experts at pulling things together given our circumstances at the last minute.
When Evelyn and I discovered that we had forgotten to ship metal stands to display all of our apparel items, with 2 and a half hours left of set-up to go, we hauled ass to the nearest Dollarama that we saw en route to the convention center. Evelyn and I purchased all of the paper towel holders that they had on their shelves.
We cut up cardboard pieces and taped them to the top of these paper towel holders.
Et Voila!!
If I hadn't told Cheryl about this mishap, she would never even have known.. hehehehe
