Help!

2010-04-29T07:15:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends of dZi:

We are trying to settle on a new name for our growing line of Yeti ornaments.

We’d like your comments on the attached file which shows 4 of our yeti ornaments and assorted name suggestions set into a group of DRAFT hang tag.

What do you think?
Do you like any of the names we have, or is there another name you would suggest?
Does the tag look appealing? Any suggestions for the tag?

Here’s some background information if helpful:

1. What is a Yeti?
Maybe you already know, but just in case.,.. Abominable Snowman, Sasquatch or Big Foot!

2. Our yetis are handfelted with 100% natural wool and made by fair trade artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal. We now have 6 quirky, collectible and fun characters, and more coming.

3. Each character has a name (Love Yeti, Peace Yeti, etc.), but we’d like a single inclusive ‘line name’ for the hang tag that communicates and excites the customer. The tag will be about 2” diameter, and will likely be round, or…?

Here are the examples:

Thanks for your comments!

Regards,

Mac

Tibetan Earthquake Relief!

2010-04-16T12:52:00.000-07:00

TIBET EARTHQUAKE SUPPORT GROUPS

As you may have heard, Tibetans in the the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous
Prefecture in Qinghai Province of China are now suffering from the
devastating results of a 6.9 earthquake that just occurred on
Wednesday, April 14.

So far the death toll is at least 400 people, including scores of
school children and teachers. More than ten thousand people were
injured and most of the homes had been flattened. Yushu county has a
population of about 100,000 people, and many of them are herders and
farmers.

The area is at an altitude of 13,000 feet, the nights are bitterly cold
and many are not able to have adequate shelter. Conditions are
miserable, and because the area is remote, relief efforts will be hard
pressed to arrive quickly.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We have researched the following list of leading non-governmental,
Tibet-focused, development organizations that are now networking on the
ground to deliver relief as quickly as possible. We urge you to
investigate the website of each one for yourself and make a
contribution of support.

PLATEAU PERSEPCTIVES (Canadian based) www.plateauperspectives.org

This organization has created a central site for relief activity
reports: www.yushuearthquakerelief.com

Mission:
Plateau Perspectives is an international organization that helps local
communities and government leaders find long-term solutions to promote
more sustainable livelihoods, to improve people's quality of life and
to protect the natural environment in the Tibetan Plateau region of
China.

Current Aid Agenda:
"Right now, PP is the only organization that's been welcomed by the FAO
to come down to Yushu, so we're trying to coordinate with other folks
to get supplies and medical personnel ready to go as soon as the OK is
given. We're sending a small team down in a few hours, but hopefully
more will be able to head down in the next few days."
[http://yushuearthquakerelief.com/ is the most complete website so far
and may be the only foreign NGO with official approval to operate in
the area - RB”

TIBETAN VILLAGE PROJECT (US-based) www.TibetanVillageProject.org

Mission:
A non-profit, non-political organization dedicated to promoting
sustainable development while preserving the rich cultural heritage of
Tibet. The organization was founded in 2001.

Current Aid Agenda:
“Chris Jones of Columbia University and members of Tibetan Village
Project are on their way from Chengdu to Xining to help coordinate
local NGO’s response and relief efforts. They are working with
volunteers and local NGOs led by Snowland Service Group (SSG) a Yushu
Based NGO. A website will be up soon where you can learn more about
what people in Yushu need and how you can help.

MACHIK (US-based) www.machik.org

Mission:
Founded on a core commitment to the ideals of service and engagement,
Machik works to develop new opportunities for education and training,
as well as supporting initiatives that advance innovative and
solutions-oriented approaches to the challenges of community
revitalization and sustainability

Current Aid Agenda:
“Machik is networked with Tibetans who have years of experience serving
local community needs in the Jyekundo and surrounding areas. Machik is
creating a safe mechanism for delivering funds directly to those who
are best able to reach those most in need.We assure you that all funds
donated through "Machik Earthquake Relief" will go directly to
assisting the people of Jyekundo and the devastated communities. Over
the past 48 hours, the Machik Earthquake Relief Appeal has raised over
13,000 USD.

HIMALAYAN CONCENSUS (Beijing
Based) www.himalayanconsensus.org

Mission:
The Himalayan Consensus is a new paradigm for sustainable economic
development that seeks practical community-based solutions, draws upon
values indigenous to the Himalayan region, and emphasizes ethnic
identity and economic empowerment.

Current Aid Agenda:
“Himalayan Consensus’s Yushu (clinic) has managed to escape the Yushu
earthquake with minimal damage and our team is working around the clock
to provide medical care and basic supplies to those most in need of
assistance.”

2009-09-30T04:33:00.000-07:00

Tibet Collection staff just returned from our last tradeshow of the season, Natural Products Expo East, located in the Boston Convention Center. Over 21,000 natural foods industry members snacked a lot on the newest yummy natural foods treats, tasted all the new gummy vitamins, and sampled lots of lip balm from the over 1500 booths. Tibet Collection's booth #1420, positioned at the epicenter of the tradeshow where 'Health & Beauty' meets 'Natural Living', enjoyed good traffic. Our Fair Trade Holiday line was chosen & featured in the 'Saturday's Editor's Picks' on the official show blog, the Natural Foods Merchandiser! We were excited to see our old friends and customers as well as make more contacts in the growing natural food market. We also met with some of our Reps Ed Christian (Miami Beach) and Cherron Perry-Thomas (PA) Now we are on to the next big things: Shipping orders - our warehouse is jammed with product, and we are shipping out as fast as we can enter addresses- and planning for our new catalog. (Drum roll...) 2010 is our 20th anniversary! Look for more celebratory blogs and announcements. Until next time, happy travels!

Tibet Collection Products Embody ‘Hybrid Sustainablity’ Trend at NYIGF®

2009-09-21T00:01:00.000-07:00

If one trend stands out at the NYIGF® it would be the ‘Hybrid Sustainability’ model of combining two or more sustainable or green technology applications into one product. Tibet Collection’s exclusive Do-It-Yourself Sustainable Lokta Paper Making Kit, included in the Jan 2009 Sustainable display, is a fun way to explore green thinking. The kit has step-by-step instructions for constructing a note card-size paper-making screen, and teaches traditional paper making techniques with sustainably harvested Lokta fibers. The student can add ingredients such as flower petals for a unique take on a traditional craft. This item is produced by a women-run artisan business. The Sustainable exhibit, packed with exciting product, is chosen from three categories of juried products submitted by exhibitors:
‘Green’ Products:
• Products that are manufactured or constructed with only recycled, recyclable and/or sustainable materials.

Environmentally-friendly Production Processes:
• Manufacturers who are using alternative sources of energy in production, including wind, sun, and alternative fuels.

Socially-responsible business practices:
• Products produced by indigenous peoples, creating viable, sustainable trades and markets in poverty-stricken and needy communities worldwide
• Manufacturers who donate percentages of their sales to not-for-profit organizations.

The Do-It-Yourself Sustainable Lokta Paper Making Kit is a great example of this growing ‘Hybrid Sustainabilty’ trend. The kit features ‘Green’ sustainable Lokta paper, with a Do-It-Yourself re-purposed wood frame that is made by a fair trade women-run business. As a founding member of Fair Trade Federation, Tibet Collection is a socially-responsible business. Interest and sales in Tibet Collection’s Sustainable Display line continue to grow as more retailers opt for ‘Green’ and Socially-responsible display alternatives.

Buyers are excited about the Sustainable Lokta Jewelry Spinners as well as the Necklace, Earring and Bracelet stands. The line also features a 12 piece Display Cube/Tray set and Sustainable display for Notecards and Fair Trade Holiday. The Sustainable Lokta line is also recyclable. When the products finally wear out, they can go into the cardboard bin, thus reducing landfill.

NYIGF Fair Trade Followup

2009-09-02T10:57:00.001-07:00

The New York International Gift Fair® is a moment where many of the Fair Trade Federation members get a chance to come together. The August Gift Fair is a crucial time for members to share thoughts, provide insight, and educate members on various issues.

One of the key discussions was coming up with ideas on how to promote the Trade Organization and distinguish Fair Trade products from other products at the gift show. The possibility of an exclusively Fair Trade section of the show has been brought up many times by both the members and management of the show itself. Many members felt the consolidation of the members at the California Gift Show was a great success and believe that we could bring over that energy to the biggest show of the year.

There seems to be a natural coagulation of FTF members growing in the Handmade section, and of course Tibet Collection would love to stay in sacred Booth #5000 that we have held for almost 20 years.

It felt as if there was a camaraderie at the FTF meeting and at dinner. The Fair Trade Federation's identity and Mission are clearly defined and it feels as if the organization is making tremendous progress towards the purpose of the Organization. The Fair Trade Federation is providing networking and support for members, and reinforcing ideals and faith in our screening process for the customers and prospective customers of Fair Trade products.

There has been talk about an exclusive Fair Trade section at the upcoming Chicago Show so stay tuned!

Many prospective members have committed to coming on board at this show and we hope the organization can grow and thrive into the 4th quarter and beyond.

Fair Trade Followup from the California Gift Show

2009-07-31T10:08:00.000-07:00

All,

THANK YOU EVERYONE...
I would like to once again thank Carmen for her efforts! We were very excited to be a part of the first ever trade show Fair Trade Pavilion, realizing a dream that we have shared with other fair-traders for several years. I loved being able to point out the huge FTF logo banner flying high over the aisle as a sky-mark to buyers. And most of all, I loved being in close proximity with Fair Trade members, all who share a vision of seeing the world made fair. The deciding factor for us to attend the LA gift show was to be a part of history in the making and join with other FTF members in this historic event.

OUR SUCCESSES!
We debuted our new Holiday 2009 product and and had very positive response from retailers regarding our Fair Trade Holiday line, new sterling and gemstone jewelry, notecards, wine bags and mini-singing bowls. We returned to the LA show with the hope of re-establishing connections with west coast buyers in a more exciting venue. We were successful in doing just that; it was great to see some of our old friends who don't make it to east coast shows! Orders are still coming in from people we met at the show. We saw Kathy Krassner from Giftware News magazine; she will be featuring our new sustainable lokta paper Kite Card in the next issue. In a venue of cash and carry and LA veterans, Tibet Collection Wholesale stood out as unique and attracted a broad spectrum of buyers.

CHALLENGES
We had our work cut out for us as a primarily order-writing business. Challenges included the shift in ownership of the California Gift Show and the much reduced size of the show, the challenging economy (both west coast and in general) and the focus on cash and carry and one-of-a-kind folk art, and the expense of travel and freight to the west coast, and our 'newbie' status. Whew! Thank goodness for swimming pools, movie stars and mojitos!

LOOKING AHEAD
As I write this, we are in the midst of prepping for NYIGF coming up Aug15-19, and Natural Products Expo East, (Boston, Sept 24-26). I hope one day Tibet Collection Wholesale will participate in a future Fair Trade Pavilion in both shows! We are working on our new 2010 catalog and the concurrent website content, with web2.0 blogging and SEO upgrades. We are really excited to be seeing our FTF friends again in NYC and wish everyone a successful show.
