Vivre Cote Sud 2009

A few snap shots from a recent consumer show in France:













































































































It would seem that Sarah Smith was a hit with the French consumers, we even got a couple of blog mentions:

Can You Help?

Sarah was chatting yesterday with the buyer for cleaning cloths, sponges and scourers at Sainsbury's.

She was talking in particular about our new Flower Power Scourer. A kooky Sarah Smith flower shaped sponge Scourer to brighten up the otherwise dreary task of washing dishes.

Unlike the chunky blocks sold by others ours is flexible enough to get into cups & corners and is perfect for saucespans & baking trays!

He was rather sceptical that anyone would want to buy such a silly thing!

We think it will be rather popular!

That certainly was the impression we got from the recent BBC Good Food Show where we quickly sold everyone of the test batch we had taken along.

So, can YOU help?

Firstly, leave a comment here telling us what you think: Good idea or bad? Would YOU buy it?

Secondly, we need ONE HUNDRED volunteers to give it a try at home & tell us what they think. Can you help?

If you would like to give A Sarah Smith Flower Power Scouer A try email us at info@sarahsmith.co.uk with "FLOWER POWER" in the title.

Thanks for reading & hope you can help!

What Emma Told Me At The BBC Good Food Show

I met Emma at the BBC Summer Good Food Show 2009 last week at the NEC in Birmingham UK. She was ethusiastically telling a colleague why she loved our Sarah Smith Cleaning Cloths so much so I asked her if she would repeat what she said for the camera. The great thing is that we meet loads of people everyyear just like Emma who have been buying Sarah Smith for years and not only love the kooky colours and patterns but keep on buying because the products last and last and a great value for money. We have worked hard on trying to engineer the products to get this kind of reaction and when you hear it for your self it is hugely satisfying!

A big thank you therefore to Emma and to everyone we met in Birmingham and to all of you who read this blog and buy Sarah Smith products. Its a great brand to work on and I think we certainly have the best customers in the world!
