CLOUD B INTRODUCES NEW COLLECTION IN 2014 As winner of the Best New Tabletop product at NY NOW back in August 2013, Chillsner had a lot of hype with its first ever in-bottle beer chiller, and the grade is in that it has resonated well with consumers. After a great showing in retailers across the country through the holiday season, Chillsner appears to be set up for a solid run and as a real disrupter in the koozie- dominated beer chilling market. "Ultimately, we were incredibly pleased with the showing of Chillsner through the end of 2013.We saw great sell through and a lot of enthusiasm from retailers and consumers about the problem the product was solving," said Eric Miller, Partner at Corkcicle, makers of the Chillsner. "Initially we saw some hesitation from smaller retailers who were more comfort- able with wine accessories, but hadn't tried out any beer related products. However, with the growth in the popularity of craft brewing and the 'cult' of beer becoming so popular, many were willing to give it a shot and ended up very pleased with the results," said Stephen Bruner, Partner at Corkcicle. "This is an ongoing conversation with some retailers, but we only hope the success of others will help convince those that haven't taken a step into beer accessories that this is a growing category and that their customers are interested in seeing products from it on their shelves." The Quest for Cold Beer The Corkcicle team has tirelessly been on the road promoting the product throughout the fall and holiday season, using a very innovative and different approach. Attending beer festivals, Formula 1 races and football bowl games (to name a few), Chillsner Bold prints, fashion colors and designer fabrics spotlight Picnic Plus, the all-season line of products specially designed for outdoor living and indoor enter- taining. This company has been hitting the mark with customers over the last several years, and continues to have an international following for the fun, functional and fashionable products. The introduction of the April Cornell Collection last year – pairing delightful fabrics with insulated bags, baskets and coordinated table top items – was proven to be a refreshing change in the gift and tabletop category. For 2014, Picnic Plus has expanded its tabletop category with new product offerings and has expanded into the home gardening gift category with a beautiful new array of gar- dening totes and accessories, featuring April Cornell designs, which embody the beauty of nature and makes a special occasion of everyday life. "No Case Pack Required" is a philosophy Picnic Plus has stood by for over 14 years. "Why should we dictate to our customers, telling them how much to buy?" said Daniel Berkowitz, President and Founder of Picnic Plus. Picnic Plus has proven to its customers, the specialty retailer, that by trying out products, mixing, matching and coordinating a variety of Picnic Plus SKUs, translates to larger orders down the road. "We put the retailer in control of their purchasing needs," stated Berkowitz. Berkowitz and his team are passionate about the products that they design, devel- op and manufacture. Their enthusiasm is always apparent when discussing the line. Berkowitz's team constantly brainstorms and designs new and fresh products to bring to the marketplace.
