The battle with Godaddy's email marketing program has come to an end and thanks to 4 morons that reported me as a spammer I no longer have a way to directly email my customers.

Until I can find a way to stay in contact, please check out the FACEBOOK page.

There you can find upcoming special offers, promotions, new retailers, and NEW products for 2012 however I will not be posting coupons or special links for discounts.  It is not fair to my loyal customers that have assisted in making the Grab-it Pack such a success.

To the thousands of my customers on my email list I want to thank you and I am sorry that Godaddy has really lame policies where 4 people can ruin something for so many and make a rapidly growing small business have to deal with a ridiculous situation.

Many of you are aware of the GRAB-IT PACK newsletter which mentions new products, special discounts, sales, and product news.  Since I have quite a few customers on this list the newsletter is released via my GoDaddy email Marketing service.  It is the only option I am aware of since I cannot use a typical email program (I wish) due to the limit of emails allowed to be sent per day.

The ONLY way to get on my customer list is to subscribe or buy a product DIRECTLY from the Grab-it Pack website.  It is the ONLY way I can stay in contact with customers regarding past orders and provide customer service.  I DO NOT SALE OR GIVE AWAY THIS LIST!  It is for GRAB-IT PACK PRODUCTS customer service purposes only.

In every newsletter I explain how to be removed from this list but it disappoints me that a few customers have reported the newsletter as spam. 

Due to GoDaddy's vague spam definition and in order to prevent the disruption or complete annihilation of my customer database all new customers and contacts will receive this note at the bottom of their email:

Please reply with the word “REMOVE” in order to prevent further emails regarding GRAB-IT PACK PRODUCTS and your order.  WE NEVER SALE OR GIVE AWAY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OR INFORMATION.  Removing your email from our database will prevent you from receiving special offers and discounts and it will not allow you communication with our company should you experience any problems with your order.

It is encouraging that out of the thousands of pleased customers I have only 5 people who want to make issues.  I won't let these few ruin it for the satisfied customers who do everything right and enjoy seeing a small business flourish.  Trust me, if GoDaddy revokes my service I will fight tooth and nail to get it all back.

Thanks to all my awesome customers.  Some of you have been with me from the beginning and some are brand new.  This year we have grown even bigger and will be presenting NEW PRODUCTS for 2012.  I owe it all to you.

The RUBBER MONSTERS booth will be at the WEEKEND OF HORRORS in Los Angeles where I will be debuting my line of toys and products.

I will also have all versions of GRAB-IT PACKS and CLINCH WALLETS available at convention only prices.

As you know the GRAB-IT PACK is quickly replacing the fanny pack and enhancing the ability to enjoy the outdoors.  This is why we have become part of the Cacherzonline Store

What is "geocaching"?

Dan Corbin owner of the Cacherz Store describes it best:

"Geocaching is a technological treasure hunt, where people will hide containers (caches) filled with trinkets somewhere in the world, and post the latitude and longitude on www.geocaching.com .  Then others get the coordinates from the website, plug them into their GPS, and go find what was hidden!  Our favorite t-shirt that we've seen says "We use multi-million-dollar military technology to find tupperware in the woods" -- it's a humorous but mostly accurate approximation of the sport!

The Cacherz Store is focused on providing geocachers with quality products at the best possible price.  We will ship anywhere in the United States and offer all of our products as inexpensively as we can.  We believe that geocaching is a great sport for families to get outdoors, get active, and spend quality time with each other -- we strive to share our love of geocaching with the people in our community and cities through booths at fairs and events.

We offer what few supplies geocachers need -- items like pens, batteries, and specially-sized logbooks for the different sized cache containers.  We also sell equipment like GPS units, cache containers (which range from small lock-n-lock or tupperware containers to .50-cal ammo cans), and packs like the Grab-It Holster Pack."

Although I never thought I would ever "need" a smart phone...I went and purchased a Droid.  Now I don't know what my life would be like without it

Because of this I now find the GRAB-IT PACK indispensable.  The two are a perfect match.  Keeping the Droid in my pants pocket makes it incredibly difficult to access and really causes problems when driving but with the Grab-it Pack it is not an issue and this is why I now refer to it as the Ultimate Gadget Holster.

Now when someone says, "that looks like a holster"  I respond, "exactly." then access my Droid to show them the website where they can buy one.

Be sure to check out my friend Claire's line of clothes and let her know I sent you.  I love her shirt designs for men.

It’s our SECOND YEAR in business and thanks so much for your support!

I’m just getting off the ground with the CLINCH WALLET and those that have purchased it are saying it’s one of the “best wallets” they ever owned so be sure to check out the GRAB-IT PACK’s companion piece.

Thanks again for your amazing support and please let me know of any reviews or blog posts I have missed…it’s starting to get difficult to keep up with them

2009 was a great year for the GRAB-IT PACK as momentum continues to grow and I want to thank all my awesome customers for that.

The US Post Office decided to raise priority mail rates for the second year in a row.  Last year I didn't adjust my shipping charges but this year I have to.  Even though the Post Office is not improving their service for the increase, I plan on offering larger refunds for repeat customers for my shipping increase.

The Grab-it Pack now offered is OFFICIALLY  Version 2.0 featuring stronger material and a smaller leg buckle.

2009 was also the launch of my latest invention THE CLINCH WALLET.  The reviews have all been positive and you can read the first online review HERE
Thanks again for all of your incredible support.  February will mark our SECOND year in business and I am expecting BIGGER things to happen in 2010!!!

I am very proud to announce that THINKGEEK.COM now carries the Grab-it Pack!!! 

This is quite an honor to be asked to be a part of their product line.
