designed Shriners figurine. I feel that helping these children is putting our mantra to “Share The Gift Of Love” into action and we are blessed to have the support of all of you and our employees in this endeavor. You can read more about Shriners and our donation totals to date on page 11.
our showrooms in Atlanta and Las Vegas in January and were very excited by our Snowman tabletop line, Angelic line and Garden line. (You can see some of these items on pages 8 & 9 of this issue!) In fact, our new garden stakes already have been purchased by FTD and will be available at FTD and our website in just a few months! The Precious Paws animal designs that many of you saw in your MOMENTS Magazine “sneak peeks” or at the 2016 Reunion Event are runaway hits with our licensees who sell plush animals and baby clothing—both of which are available on our website as well. It’s not that surprising to see our loyal fans want more types of products to feature elsewhere in the home (and to send as gifts), but it is very pleasing to see many young mothers clamoring toward Precious Moments product, often, for the first time. We continue to focus on the spiritual messaging upon which this company was built. The Precious Moments zinc alloy crosses are proving to be very popular and hard to keep in stock. As promised by me at last year's Reunion, you will see more gifts of all types with spiritual messages. (Stay tuned for a beautiful spiritually-themed piece in our upcoming Limited Editions!) While we are very excited about all of these new products, we are most proud of the support we are receiving for our Shriners Hospital for Children partnership. Thanks to all of you for, not only the donations you are making when checking out your order on our website, but also for purchasing the specially
We are so thrilled about these new products that we have put together a new marketing campaign to introduce them, along with our regular launch items.
The campaign, “Think You Know Precious Moments? Think Again…” helps to illustrate that, while Precious Moments has a long-standing history of providing quality and beloved items to market for nearly 40 years, we are also adapting to current trends and are just as relevant to today’s customers. A special thanks to all of you who have expressed your opinion about product and design ideas we put on the Precious Moments Facebook page. We appreciate your help in creating the perfect product, while exhibiting the soul of this company. Because of you and our entire Precious Moments family, I know 2017 is going to be a banner year!
Lovingly, Sharingly and Caringly Yours, Kos
