Oh, good god, that is my time, when is your day, I am doing the IL site on the 23rd, this site is only about 3 hours from where I live, you probably put that somewhere, I didn`t read all the way back and now can`t get to page one, I don`t think, without clicking out of here. UGH!

Hey, I have an idea, maybe we should just join forces. . .LOL

You have outstanding labels and names and don`t seem nervous about this stuff at all and I have some flavors you don`t have, I`m getting old, overweight and could have a heart attack over this stuff. I get so excited and then think, what have I done now!  

Why don`t I just send you the extra flavors, you can double your line, you come up with the names and labeling, we`ll work out a cost, you go do the presentation, sell all of our stuff to em, I`ll stay home and be sick for just you (not both of us now!) and maybe we can both get rich? How does that sound?

Ok, just kidding, but best of luck to you. I figure the chance of getting to the end is probably pretty slim and I am just excited for the chance to see how this works and happy that I even got an appointment. Let me know when you day is, or I will look when I get out of here if you posted it!

Pam - I agree, it will be an awesome experience! I`m excited about it. (and yes - I am nervous too.) Oh, and good news - I am not doing the IL site. I`m flying to PA for the 29th, so I guess you`ll be going a few days before me. You`ll have to let me know how it is!

Oh, and good plan!

I can`t wait to hear from Pam and Chris as to how this goes.  It`s is very exciting.  I wish you both the best of luck.  Everyone at SUN is rooting for you!

I`ve been trying to get in touch with the Ellen show.  I need to send some pictures, but in their basic "contact us" page, I can`t figure out a way to copy and paste pictures.  My other thought was to send something, but I`m not sure what is the best method.

Any help from you "seasoned" professionals (no pun intended Pam and Chris)

Thanks,

ModJulie

Thanks!

You can send photo through several pages on her site. Here is one page where she is looking for your "best photos ever".

http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/bestphotos/

It explains how to do it. Otherwise, you probably can`t paste a photo into an online form.

Wow!!! That is soooo exciting! I wish you much luck. Let us know how it goes I should let my brother know about it. He invented a game, but does not have a patient yet. Good Luck again.

Thanks Natalie. I`m not sure if QVC sells games, but if they do and he has the means to fill a large order, he could go for it. QVC normally orders at least $20k worth (wholesale, which is often about half of the retail price), so you need to be sure to already have a means to do that.

They have product searches all of the time, so this won`t be the last!

Dippy Chick,

Congratulations!

I`m not pitching to anyone that day, but if the QVC deal involves, in any way, shape, or form, their evening anchor Lisa, I will fly up at my own expense to meet that woman. She`s adorable. I watch the jewelry shows just to see her. What a woman!

I`ve been to QVC twice before on business (but not this business), and the only person I remember meeting was Susan Graver. She was on after a friend of mine was on the air.

Hey, Chris, what is your take on how many people you will be pitching to? Was just curious what you were thinking on this. In one place in the paperwork I had read a "panel" and in another a "representative". Now I wonder if it is several people doing the preview/sampling or just one?
