Allie, Inc met with Toys R Us on Friday, March 20. The meeting was held at the Toys R Us Corporate Headquarters in Wayne, NJ. Toys R Us liked the idea of Smell Stickers and has offered to make them available in select stores later this year.

Getting a product into retail outlets is a long process. We will update you when the stickers become available at Toys R Us stores. Until then, Smell Stickers will continue to be available on our website. The Happy Spring stickers are perfect gifts this time of year. A happy spring to all!

Thanksgiving is almost here. Have you started shopping for holiday gifts yet?

Smell Stickers make great stocking stuffers for boys and girls (boys like scratch and sniff stickers, too!). Or surprise your little one with a Happy Allie gift package, now on sale!

Smell Stickers and Allie, inc are featured in the “Hot Products” section of the July/August issue of Greetings, etc magazine.  Not too shabby! To be listed alongside the big name sticker manufacturers Sandylion and Mrs.Grossman’s in an editorial mention is very exciting!

It was quite a surprise to receive an email from a staff member of InStyle magazine asking for a press kit. The press kit and samples of our products were mailed to their headquarters in NYC. The magazine is putting together their Holiday gift guide and are considering our products. We’ll keep you posted.

Allie, Inc has been in contact with several *popular* retailers to discuss getting the Happy Allie Product Line in stores. Although it is too soon to tell which stores will stock our products, rest assured Smell Stickers are coming to a store near you! With more exposure to the general public in retail stores, Allie, Inc will continue to grow and expand its line of products. So to all of you who’ve asked when new scents are coming out -a new line of designs and scents can’t be too far behind!

Thanks to all of our customers for your continued support!

Allie,Inc was very well received at the NSS (National Stationery Show)! Here are some highlights:

1.) Allie, Inc. was chosen to exhibit in the Best New Product competition at the NSS.
2.) Allie, Inc. was highlighted in the pre-Show product trends seminar given by Stationery Trends magazine’s editor, Sarah Schwartz.

3.) The Editor-in-Chief of Greetings, etc, Kathy Krassner, visited our booth and advised us that Allie,Inc and Smell Stickers were chosen to be in next months issue of Greetings, etc magazine.

What fun!

Well it’s official - we will be attending the National Stationery Show at the Javits Conventer Center May 18-21, 2008. We’ll update you with our booth number and location at the show when that info becomes available. You are welcome to come visit our booth!

SmellStickers.com is a website complete with exclusive animated characters, games, stories, activities and an online store where you can purchase scratch and sniff sticker packs and gift sets. SmellStickers.com was created for children as well as adults who long for the novelty of scratch and sniff stickers and Hello Kitty style, retro fun.

SmellStickers.com features animated characters created by me. They are a little girl named Happy Allie, Wishes The Yorkshire Terrier, Felicity The Fairy, and Fancy The Unicorn. SmellStickers.com includes a complete story section with the background of each character. Also integrated into the site is a games section featuring the animated characters, including a memory game and trivia quiz.

Over the last 6 years, I have attempted to locate a company that produces matte scratch and sniff stickers. After repeated searches, however, it is evident that this company does not exist. My goal was to become that company, the first company in over 20 years to create an all new line of scratch and sniff stickers. The ultimate goal was to bring the stickers back into the marketplace for anyone who’s wished the stickers would come back, for anyone who did not even realize how much they missed them, and for those people who have yet to discover the magic of scented stickers.

So is that all this blog is going to be about, scratch and sniff stickers?!? No! The goals and direction of www.smellstickers.com has spread and grown substantially. Although scratch and sniff stickers are a pleasant diversion, there’s a lot more to life than stickers! (uh, really?). What do you enjoy doing? Scrapbooking? What’s your favorite hobby? Do you like crafts and collecting? Then this website is for you.

The website will be an eclectic mix of many subjects, but primarily aimed towards parents and children. Enjoy our articles and check our blog often!
