Sorry to all for the couple week hiatus from posting on our blog.  Check out below for a quick rundown of the fun and exciting things that have been happening at our Stuart, FL HQ!!!

1. Our Facebook presence has grown to over 1,000 strong! We were so excited we created a special promo just for Facebook friends and fans.  Have you joined yet?  If not, head on over to the Room It Up Fan Page and connect with us today.  As always, we are always looking to hear feedback from our loyal customers, like you.  We think that our fan page is a great place to gather some of your insights so keep up the posting!
2. The Holidays are here! Okay, it still may be only October, but our office is already starting to feel the Holiday buzz.  We are encouraging all of our great retailers to stock up early this year for the best selection of our products.  Retailers, if you haven’t already taken advantage of the shipping promotions be sure to do so soon… they expire at the end of this month.  Click here to view a copy of our Room It Up Holiday 2009 Catalog.  The majority of our best selling products are currently in stock and ready to ship, so go ahead and get shopping!  Need some more inspiration?  Check out what Christie from the blog Simple Finds will be getting from RIU this holiday season for the loved ones on her list.
3. Tennessee is on our mind. November 4-11 Fred, our Director of Sales, and I are heading up to Tennessee for the International Gift Exposition in the Smokies.  We are excited to show off all of our great products to the great Zoo, Aquarium and other various attraction retailers that are going to be there.  Are you heading to Sevierville this Novemeber too?  If so, be sure to check out the Room It Up Booth at spaces 1207/1208.  I for one can’t wait to see the change of seasons and have a taste of fall weather!
4. Spring 2010 is in the air! We are working hard to create one of the best new product launches ever for this January.  We know you are all excited to see what’s next and let me tell you, from what I’ve seen thus far you are all going to LOVE it!  Loads of bright colors and new designs that are just going to scream fun!  We always want to keep our loyal fans and customers in the know.  Be sure to subscribe to our Facebook and Twitter Pages, as well as our blog to be one of the first to see what’s new!

Well, looks like that’s it for now!  Remember to check back often for more news and updates.

Celebrate the first couple days of fall by grabbing a Pumpkin Spiced Latte (iced if you live in FL like us!) and heading on over to RoomItUp.com to check out some of our NEW items that are now in stock + shipping now… including these great items in the hot 80′s Dot print!  We had such an overwhelmingly positive response to the 80′s Dot print when we introduced it as “limited edition” in a few select products, we decided to introduce it in some of our other top selling items; our 3 Piece Cosmetic Case Set, Overnight Duffle Bag & Flat Iron Case.  Just in time for the holidays!!

At first glance our Shower Caddy may seem to only be used for toting around your toiletries and shower necessities to the shower and back.  However, upon closer observation, one will notice that our carefully crafted and well designed tote also has the potential for many other uses, especially for us non college dorm-dwellers.  While we still love it for its primary function, I have also outlined just some of the many ideas we constantly receive from our customers, (like you!) on how they are using this fun (and functional!) item.

1. Gardening Tote:  The outside pockets are great for keeping all of your gardening essentials and tools close at hand.  The water resistant interior material is super easy to clean and the drain holes will be great for managing the dirt buildup in the bottom of the tote.
2. Mini Diaper Bag To-Go:  Utilize all of the pockets to store, and organize, all of your baby’s essentials.  Perfect for using at the beach or park when you don’t want to lug around your normal diaper bag.  Also great for keeping at a relative’s house that you visit often, so you know when you get there you will have all of your essentials ready for your little bundle of joy!
3. Craft Tote:  Our little tote is great for organizing craft and scrapbooking items that you use often.  The pockets just so happen to be a perfect size for housing paint pens, tubes of glitter and beads, etc…  Also provides for a quick (and organized!) clean up when you are done.  Just stash your things in the tote, place in the closet and you’re on to the next task.
