Will You Be Our Valentine?

We  February!

At EnviroTrend USA, we love the month of February. From Groundhogs to Valentines, love is in the air and spring is around the corner. There's not a better time to celebrate the blooming bulbs and flowering trees, all while enjoying the slightly warmer air outside. It's also the month we celebrate our sweetie pies. And, let's face it, who doesn't like to be in love? Love comes in many forms- a spouse or significant other, a new baby, and especially your friends and family- and we celebrate all of them. Whether you've been together for 50 years, 50 days or 50 hours, we wish all of you a Happy Valentine's Day!

As we enter into the month of February, we are excited to introduce all of our new retailers with you. We've had successful trade shows in Atlanta and L.A. are pumped to bring your favorite bags to even more retailers around the county, with more being added every day! Our web site is being updated with all of our new stores but be sure to check out facebook for the most recent list.

We also have another reason to love this month- it's Kim's birthday. So you see, we do have much to celebrate this month! To kick off all of February's festivities, we are offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders placed on our facebook store. There's no coupon code to enter- just start shopping!

Keep in touch with you!

Hi Friends,
We hope that everyone had a great holiday season and enjoyed ushering in the New Year! We are so thankful for each and every one of you who have supported us over the past 12 months. Because of you, 2011 was our best year since entering the U.S. and we expect even greater things during 2012. So what exactly do we have in store for you this year? Well, first of all, we're going do a better job of keeping in touch. Starting this month, we will send out a monthly email. Every now and again we might have exciting news that we want to share, such as new products or patterns, but other than that, we promise not to put too many emails into your already crowded inbox. Here are a few other things that we have for you this year:

• PAKitToMe: We've been teasing you with our brand new product for months now and we know you're ready for it. We are close to having replenished stock in all patterns and will have PAKitToMe for sale on our web site soon. Currently, PAKs are available in limited quantities in our facebook shop.
• New Patterns: Flutterby, Camo, Spots and Aliens were introduced in November and will be replenished this Spring. In addition to these new patterns, we plan to have even more new patterns this Fall.
• Monthly contests: Everyone loves to win something and we love to give bags away! Be on the lookout for monthly contests and the chance to win SAKitToMe and PAKitToMe.
• More Retailers: Plans are in place to increase the number of retailers and we promise to bring our bags to your favorite stores. Don't see ETUSA in a store near you? Let us know and we'll work to make that happen!
• Distributor Program: Love SAKitToMe as much as we do? Contact us today to learn more about becoming a distributor so you too can sell our bags.
• Blog: We promise to make regular updates to our blog this year and want to bring you compelling content about products, the industry and other topics that interest you. In order to do this, we need to hear from you! Let us know what's on your mind and how we can keep you informed of the latest trends and topics.

We're working hard right now to bring you all these things and more. EnviroTrend USA is only in business because we have the best customers in the world and to continue to do this, we need your help. Stay in touch with us and let us know what you want! Have an idea for a new pattern? Know a retailer who is interested in SAKitToMe? Tell us! Not only can you keep in touch with us on facebook and twitter but you can always email us at sales@envirotrendusa.com.

And now for the best part! The winner of the 3-pack of SAKitToMe is...Stacy S.! Stacy, thanks for being a fan. We'll get in touch with you via email with details on shipping your SAKs.

Savour Spotlight: EnviroTrend
http://www.todaysnest.com/todays-nest/2011/06/savour-spotlight-envirotrend.html

It’s hard to believe that we met Vanessa Pennisi a year ago when EnviroTrend was just a budding brand out to rid the world of plastic bags one chic reusable at a time. We fell in love with them then and are even more in love with them now.

Vanessa is one busy lady... growing a business at a manageable pace and managing a family. In the last year EnviroTrend has exploded into the US market in retail stores in Texas, Georgia, California, Hawaii, Arizona, and Nevada. Soon they’ll be hitting stores to the north to include a fave, New York.

The bulk of EnviroTrend products are made from recyclable non-woven polypropylene, which makes them twice as nice for the environment. Bulky reusables can be just that, bulky... and they certainly can’t fit in your purse, handbag, or glove box. Their most popular line,SAKitToMe, is lightweight, washable and comes in its own pouch which does double duty as a cell phone holder while you are shopping and the convenient key holder keeps keys in place or clips your bag to your keys.

They have recently added Peony (pink SAKitToMe) and Orchid (blue SAKitToMe) to the Earth and Bloom line and the Giraffe (Elephant is retiring) to the kids SAKitToMe line. They’ve also added an ode to their native land called Austaliana. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped down under with the nature inspired designs representing native plants, Banksia, Wattle, Bottlebrush, Water Lily, Waratah, and Gum Nut.

This is, by far, the best compact, lightweight, reusable tote we have found to date. Beyond practicality, the designs are modern and stylish. Be sure to check out the bamboo line, too. Look for these bags at local retailers or find them online at www.envirotrendusa.com.
