Green Smoke E-Cigs

The electronic cigarette (e-cig) has quickly become a hot product and a booming industry.

And while many distributors are new to the profit train, Miami based e-cig distributor, Green Smoke, is a self-proclaimed pioneer in the now flourishing industry. “We have been...

As a result, modern day sunglasses are in vogue as a fashion accessory, bought for their designs, colors and shapes, rather than for necessity. While sunglasses are one of the easiest ways to protect eyes from damage from the sun, the fashion accessory has a more glamorous purpose in the eyes of wearers. It’s this glam factor that has kept Kachina LLC in the sunglass market for a decade, giving retailers and their customers access to the newest looks,...

Magmito Promotes Easy Mobile Marketing for Independent Retailers

NRF Stores magazine highlights that 2011 was the year for smartphones, tablets and consequently, m-commerce.

Slap On Gear

Popularized in the late 80s and early 90s, slap bracelets were both a fashion staple and an easy way to annoy teachers. The traditional slap bracelets consisted of layered, flexible stainless steel bistable spring bands, sealed within a fabric cover, usually neon in color. The bracelet would be straightened out, creating tension within the springy metal bands, and then slapped against the wearer’s forearm, causing the bands to spring back into a curve that wrapped around the wrist. The novelty item quickly became a recognizable fashion phenomenon....

Beer Pong On Roll

As beer pong blogger and aficionado, Jeff Barnes, explains best, “To the casual observer, beer pong is nothing more than a college drinking game. You throw table tennis balls into plastic cups, drink beer and repeat the process.” However, over the years beer pong has become more than an expected party game at the frat house on a Saturday night, and is now an internationally recognized sport with official rules, a community of players and serious prize money.
