ScootZilla

I have now taken to calling the shipping department of the scooter place every half hour.  I have also started using my cell phone just in case they are screening our office phone.  I can't sleep at night wondering if they are on the way.  Get this I even tried to bribe them with misprinted work gloves from our parent company. www.fairfieldlineinc.com   it STILL didn't work.

Look for Do Work t shirts and Get Ill t shirts available on ZeroGloves.com pretty soon!  

So I'm getting a little jealous.  Charlie Hertz is smarter than I am and made plans to go to Breckenridge early and hang with some buddies.  Iowa weather has been so crummie lately that it would sure be fun to do a little rafting or boarding over the week end.  Work hard, play hard is a good motto and I forgot that when booking this meeting.  But with this group we'll be having a big time regardless. Cheers and Take it Easy!

Scoots and The Brand Refresh

Well here at Fairfield Line and Zero Gloves, we decided to take part in this whole "going green" movement, and invest in some scooters.  We are anxiously awaiting FIVE scooters that should have been here last week.  The company never returns phone calls, and we even invested the rush shipping, and it seriously can't be THAT FAR from Texas to Iowa right?  I keep thinking about my lonely scooter sitting on a dock in Texas just waiting for it's journey here.

We're heading to Denver Tuesday to start an exciting project with The Branding Agency.  We're starting a brand refresh campaign for Zero.  This is going to be a year long project which is a big, but will be fun working with friends.  I am thinking of it as a bit of a "face lift" for our brand.

While in Breckenridge we'll get to do some outdoor fun stuff with Charlie Hertz who I invited to be an outside resource on the Brand Council.  We need to take one thing of our favorite brand.  Examples were Vans tennies, Wonder Bread, or whatever.  I am guessing Charlie will bring something from his meat company Zoes Meats.  I think I'm going to take a Target sack, I mean really is there a better place than Target?  Go in for deodorant and come out with 200 dollars of "stuff" now that's marketing.

I'll be the one wearing my new German style scooter helmet, with still no scoots. :)

First Impression Rose: What the heck?!?!?!

With all the hubub around our little company about the Bachelorette and Jesse Csincsak being on the show impressing DeAnna Pappas every chance he can get, I figured I would use it to our advantage and get more hits on the website.  Jesse Csincsak is a professional snowboarder for Zero Gloves, and is currently swinging from the vines of the Reality TV jungle.  Hence the postings with both last names, more chances to lead you to our site.  I've been asking for a raise for a little while and if I can show more hits maybe I'll get one.  

To be honest we all had a bet that Jesse Csincsak didn't get past the first rose ceremony, he's not all that tall, and we figured he wouldn't even get into the mansion with DeAnna Pappas. However we're learning along with you watching this crazy show that he has more mojo than we all thought.  Well one person did think he had more than others, but she's moved on to a different Cowboy, or should I say Indian?  

So we're taking our betting week to week, and watching it all unfold, hoping that Jesse Csincsak keeps getting to entertain us for as many Monday's as possible.  Meanwhile a good group of girls has formed to watch it all unfold, and start clipping coupons for wines, cause each Monday's support group get together gets more entertaining.  We're making new friends through the whole process, and nobody can keep FDHS#2 Hippie Sister down.
