One of the areas we have really tried to focus on is bring more Canadian companies into the mix in our representation. To this end, we have recently come to an agreement with Herbs of Kedem, Rock my Soul and Consonant Body.

Although vastly different in what they market, they're objectives and company philosophy's are very similar to ZOLD's and we believe all three companies will compliment our offering and ability to provide an all-encompassing solution to our retailers. Check them out on our site or their respective websites.
 
 
I have come to the conclusion I either need to Blog more often or we need to stop growing.

Lets take this time to introduce some fantastic new organic beauty brands that have recently partnered with ZOLD.

From Germany comes Amala. Responsible skincare that can be found in some of the world best spas.

Also from Germany come Primavera. This line of certified natural skincare and aromatherapy is perfectly balanced from nature. You will be thrilled with their program and their products.

Another line we have been fortunate enough to bring to Canada is OM4- a complete Organic skincare program for men. Simple concept; 4 products, 4 steps, 4 minutes and exclusively 4 men! This particular brand will be a star in the industry and in short order. Look for our ad in the Salon & Spa Buyer's Guide for 2010/2011.

As I stated at the outset, I really need to update this more often. Also, after a few production delays, Organic Indulgence is now available from your local eco-beauty rep or through our toll-free order line.

Finally, let me welcome Sujata, Catherine and Erica to the team. All three ladies have recently come to ZOLD and we look forward to their positive and enthusiastic attitudes taking us to even greater heights!

Two new manufacturers added to our offering in April. Both Way Basics and Emerald Brands have been brought into the fold for our Canadian Retailers.

Emerald Brands offers a full selection of sugar cane and 100% recycled paper products including bath and facial tissue, paper towels, and compostable/biodegradable garbage bags and trash liners.

Way Basics has invented the simplest, most ingenious furniture ever. Ultra-easy to put together, sustainably made and completely recyclable, our furniture is made from environmentally sound building blocks we call zBoards® that will inspire your creativity with playful possibilities.

We welcome both to our company and encourage you to contact us or your local representative for more information on these two lines.
 
 
Unfortunately when you get busy, you sometimes forget to add to your own blog, and this I am most definitely guilty of. This posting will cover some of the latest developments ZOLD has been working on.

First; as many of you have noticed we have changed up the look and navigation in our Eco-Beauty Category. We have done this as we have tried to compliment our offering to include options in each vertical. Instead of offering one skincare line, we have sourced and partnered with multiple brands giving our customers options based on demographic and customer base. We are thrilled to be partnering with Living Nature and their line of 100% natural skincare from New Zealand.

Secondly, we are also very happy to announce the hiring of Daja Graham as our Eco-Fashion Sales Manager. Based in the Greater Toronto area, Daja brings a wealth of experience to the position and we are confident that she will guide the product category to great things in the coming weeks and months.

Finally, I wanted to commend our USA team for making our initial soft launch into America a great success. The response we have received from salons, spas and retailers has been very encouraging and we look forward to building our program and team to service resellers from coast to coast.

I think that is it for now. We have some other terrific announcements coming but I think I will leave those for next week.

Thanks again for all your support.
