So Cal Pet Expo A Success!

Whew! It was a very long day but your friends at Rrruffler HQ had a great time at our first ever Pet Expo. We got a ton of great feedback, particularly on our tuxedo. People would stop, point and either laugh or gasp, “OMG!” when they turned the corner and saw our products on display. When those reactions turned into sales, we knew we had a winner on our hands.

Edie looked precious in her prom dress and was a great example for folks to see what a Rrruffler is all about. She was kind of stressed-out with all the noise and commotion but made it through the show. A real trooper!

We are now scrambling to launch our Amazon store. A few more details to finish up and we’ll be there. Can’t wait!

2012: What A Year

If you’ve ever started your own business, you know it takes a lot of time and effort to get things off the ground. With Rrruffler, we started late last year with an idea for a new kind of pet accessory, and through the months, shopped for fabric, created patterns and prototypes and developed our product into something we think is pretty great. Despite the learning curve, we had some breakthroughs, particularly with the one and only Uggie, canine star of Academy Award winner “The Artist” sporting a custom made Rrruffler tuxedo to the Golden Collar Awards in February.

The rest of the year we’ll finally wrap up production so we can launch on Amazon’s Pet Marketplace in early 2013. We’ve also booked our first Pet Expo for February 2nd in Long Beach!

Thanks to all who’ve helped Rrruffler come a long way this year! Happy holidays!
