Happy Father's Day!

Better than a bunnings voucher, buy dad a bamboo bath robe for Father's Day! Especially as Eureco is offering 25% off bamboo robes, just for your gift buying needs.

Are you sick of getting the same old thing for dad every year? Has he got an overflowing sock drawer, far too many ties and can't get him chocolate because his cardiologist has forbidden it?

You could always get him a bottle of red... but that will be gone before you can say ''happy father's day dad" and no lasting memories of a great gift. Quite the opposite actually.

Eureco has the solution. Bamboo bath robes are eco-friendly, and dad can use it EVERY DAY. He can be reminded of how good a son or daughter you are every time he puts it on. He could even drink the aforementioned bottle of red on the couch all snug in his... bamboo robe. (Don't even think about getting dad a snuggy, those things are NOT cool.)

So to save time this Father's Day go straight here and order dad a robe. Order one for yourself too if you like. 25% off means that robes are now $165 instead of $220. That's a bargain!

Don't forget to order before 3pm Wednesday the 1st of September to ensure on time delivery to you or dad by Father's Day. If you are running late with your Father's Day gift our offer ends on midnight on Sunday the 5th of September - so don't miss out.

Organic Expo Post Mortem

I was going to say Eureco merely survived the Organic Expo and Green show held last weekend at the Sydney Convention Centre. But the truth is that Eureco were an outstanding success!

Thursday saw us haul the stand mock up from the Bolton living room into the Convention Centre, only to discover upon arrival that they had not fully laid the floor in our stand. By the time we had picked up printing, afternoon tea and another van load the floor was done, thank goodness!

Fixing our floor!

Worth mentioning for Thursday was how great we all looked in our high visibility orange fluro vests! We also met neighbouring stand holders Will, with his business Every Man Jack as well as Erik and his deliciously masochistic Swedish Healing Mats.

The bump-in team

Friday was the first day of the show, and we arrived early to put the finishing touches on our stand. (The stand looked amazing, by the way). Being trade and media day, we were pleased to chat to lots of prospective Eureco stockists and other interested people.

Our fantastic stand set up

On Saturday the expo was open to the public... and the public came. I arrived 5 minutes before the doors opened and had to fight my way through to the entrance -the public were keen!

Megan and Hen

Saturday also saw the launch of "Robe Girl" or Hen, if we reveal her actual name. Swathed in a purple (nocturne) coloured bamboo robe, Hen wandered around the expo handing out Eureco leaflets and generally attracting all kinds of attention. She overheard this conversation between two expo visitors:

Girl 1: "Oh my god, have you touched her robe yet?"

Girl2: "No."

Girl 1: "I touched it earlier and it feels amazing."

It sounded funnier when Hen recounted the dialogue, maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, Hen did a fantastic job, as many people approached the stand after meeting Robe Girl and being informed about how great bamboo robes and towels were!

Frances and "The Girls"

Just as the expo was about to close on Saturday evening, the organisers told us that the Channel 7 program Weekend Sunrise would be broadcasting live from the expo the next morning. From 7am.

So at 8am on Sunday I, (that is, MEGAN) was at the expo, taking one for the Eureco team. I thought the Swedish Healing Mat people would attract attention of the TV crew, so I put on Hen's robe and took on the role of Robe Girl for the morning, waiting for the action to come to me. However, despite their charms the Swedes didn't get the crew over to their stand and we had to settle for 3 seconds of fame along with all the other stand holders. Yes, I was on Sunrise, telling the nation about Eureco. I thought I was safe, no one I knew would be up at that hour on a Sunday... I was wrong.

My personal camera shyness and early morning issues aside, having Sunrise at the Expo achieved an overwhelmingly popular response, as Sunday's crowds were a force to be reckoned with. We changed our promo and offered 20% off across the board for the last day of the expo, which proved very popular with the punters.

Frances with her pink towels

Hen aka Robe Girl had a run in with security, as a result of certain inter-stand rivalry fuelled by ugly jealousy (theirs, not ours). So she was relegated back to the ranch for the afternoon, which was great as she stepped up and processed sales along with the rest of us!

Every day of the Expo we ran a competition from our stand, where people signing up to our newsletter could go into the draw to win a bamboo towel bundle. Here are the three lucky winners:
Day 1 ~ M. Knowles, Russellvale NSW
Day 2 ~ N. Hargrave, Maroubra NSW
Day 3 ~ S. Rees, Point Piper, NSW
Look out for your prize in the mail!

And the winner is...?

So that was the end of a successful Organic Expo, and our hot trade show debut! On behalf of Frances, many, many thanks go out to the Eureco family, whose generous help and support made Eureco's expo debut the success that it was. Thanks not only for the help getting Eureco physically in and out of the expo, but for the 6 weeks of mania preceding it.
Thanks to Graham, Amy, Sophie, Mum Bolton, Kathy and Hen.

(In case you have been hiding under a rock, the Organic Expo will be held at the Sydney Convention Centre from 20-22 August.)

The theme for this year's expo is 'Paddock to Plate' which means visitors can see the pros demonstrate their cooking skills, and learn how to cook a wholesome fresh meal at home for the family. Who are these pros? Kylie Kwong and Tobie Puttock, no less.


Other cool stuff includes the Organic Kids Fun Zone where kids can pat farm animals, plant veggies and learn about bugs in the garden. (I will be one of the big kids there, I'm sure).

Also looking forward to sampling the tasty offerings from the Organic Vineyard - yep, even wine is going organic these days...

There will also be gardening and beauty experts at the expo to give you the greenest advice, as well as lots of sustainable homewares and building exhibitors to provide ideas for your home makeover.

For green thumbs: Gardening gurus Jerry Coleby-Williams and Costa Georgiadis will be on hand to ensure your garden is greener and tastier than ever

For beauty buffs: Sample luxurious pampering treatments and shop up an organic storm while beauty expert Carla Oates reveals how to custom-blend your own skincare products from ingredients in your fridge
