Monday

Monday is usually a really busy day for us here to catch up over the weekend, especially it was a holiday thanksliving! We were able to clean up some of our inventories and that will make future shipment more efficient!  

We also had one product (Oriental's Joy) review from Lynn Chen of the Actor's Diet! Personally, I really like Lynn because she is beautiful, talented (acting and singing), true-to-self, and super friendly!  That's it, tada for Meat-less Monday!!

Peta's Annual Thanksgiving

I was happy to have stayed at the Peta's Annual Thanksgiving! Alex was great in presentation and speaking for the food demo prep, and the Peta staffs were very friendly, and the attendees loved our spicy bits (and hopefully they will continue to support!), what more can I say!?  We will continue to work hard and launch to the conventional grocery markets to really support the compassionate and sustainable lifestyle! 
 


ecoVegan search

I spent about 120 mins to do a semi-completed "ecoVegan" search on Google (59 results pages), Bing (21 results pages) , and Yahoo (21 results pages, and strangely, after 15th results page I am not seeing English any more) and to find us listed or mentioned on some really interesting and unexpected places/links.  And really, we are ecoVegan with small e and cap V, and it's one word not cap E if you ever want to mention us.. thanks

    The Real Thing.. Green Festival Happening

    Honestly, I cannot count how many people were there at the Green Festival in San Francisco this year, but it was exciting for a couple reasons! 

    1. It was the first time we exhibit at the Green Festival.  As I mentioned to my friend the last time we attended it, "one day we will be here."  Now that goal has been achieved! A great moment to remember!
    2. As a first time exhibitor at the event, I think we did pretty good in terms of preparation!  We had our banner, fliers, pyramids of product displays, table cloth and "shower curtain" besides everything else we always prepare for product sampling!  Thanks Sone!  You did great!
    3. We had a good amount of customers coming to taste the products and purchased them, and we realized most of the customers are not vegan!  That's right! The meat-eaters are liking them and making the switch! 
    4. We had received quite a few product request to be in Rainbow!  That's right, I hope Jenny & Rainbow get to see the customers reaction and they will make the decision accordingly!  By the way, if you like us and think Rainbow should carry the ecoVegan products, please send your product request form and drop off in their comment box in the store!
    5. Peta and VegNews were there and the staffs loved ecoVegan food!  Joe from VegNews sure enjoyed it, and that's very encouraging!
    6. In general it was very positive feedback for us to know the customers reaction directly, at a sustainable events like this!  Thank you New Hope 360 team!  We will be sure to come back next year!

    Green Festival

    It's that time of the year! The 9th Annual SF's Green Festival!  I think after the many demos events we have been and the World Veg Fest we went to a month ago, maybe this time we will be more prepared and more ready and have better results!

    Be looking for us at booth 639 in the organic food section.


     








    And if you want 2 free passes, sign up for ecoVegan's newsletter by end of day Thursday 11/4, we will have a random draw for 1 lucky winner!  We look forward seeing you and enjoy this Green Festival!

    Our "business" trip to the island

    Aloha again, world!, or world of ecoVegan!
    We have been gone, and now we have returned, from the business trip to the island of paradise... :)


    We visited a couple interesting places, and thanks to my friends who took us around I really don't remember much where I went, but for sure I do not forget "Down To Earth" and Umeke Market, these two are very vegan and earth friendly and I really hope they like our products and think there is a potential!

    Here's some sun, blue sky, turquoise water, and green mountain for you to enjoy! And now back to the reality!
