So, we held a contest to name our newest product and a lot of people have been on me to pick a winner, so here is something to brighten your Monday:
The winner is Deb S. of Richmond, Vermont – our company headquarters! She came up with the name of Eddie’s Twins.
We liked this name for a few reasons:
- I (Michael) have a twin. Now, you kind of needed to know the Eddie’s family, but I have a twin sister, Kelsey, who lives in Virginia. We thought it was fitting because Eddie (my Dad) actually does have twins – and there’s two twins to a pack, hence Eddie’s Twins.
- It’s short. We inserted every contest entry into the following sentence: “Hi, do you carry Eddie’s ______?” Twins seemed to fit the best into this scenario.
We want to thank every for their entry or entries – a lot of you submitted 4 or 5 names and that’s awesome. There was certainly a lot of creativity coming from our loyal fans and customers. It made me realize one key thing: We need to do more contests. You’ll be seeing monthly contests from us so you can win some free product – pretty awesome, right?
As to when Eddie’s Twins will be hitting the shelf, we’re looking for a late August launch online and in our Vermont retailers – new packaging, new name, it’s go time.
Thanks again for all of the entries – it was a blast!
