Jennifer Howe Rogan, while on bed rest with her third pregnancy, started dabbling on eBay with children’s retail. She also assisted a few friends overseas with obtaining certain clothing lines that they could not get locally. It was then that she created a little side business and realized that eBay was a unique way to supplement her and her husband’s income while on bed rest. It also helped keep her mind at ease during those tough moments.

It was after her pregnancy she created her Internet boutique selling upscale clothing. She established a small clientèle and had trunk shows locally, generating more income. Inspired by her ability to make the system work, she wrote a book called “The Method to the Madness,” which helps other work at home parents understand how to sell children’s retail over the Internet and the craze with the selling trends of children’s clothing on eBay. From start to finish, it’s packed full of resources and tips on getting started and what mistakes to avoid.

Poker Chip Mania is a premiere online retailer of gaming products for casino, card room and the home-use markets. Poker Chip Mania specializes in clay poker chips, poker accessories, chip cases, playing cards, poker tables, materials and accessories for poker tables, slot machines and game room decor.

While speaking at a recent travel industry convention about the prospects for continued global expansion of the cruise industry, Adam Goldstein, President of Royal Caribbean International, said "There's a 100% chance that the trend…will continue". To some, his words may sound like "wishful thinking" or just a lot of "hype". However, to many cruise industry professionals on the supply side and on the retail distribution side, Mr. Goldstein's prediction is practically indisputable.

Tom Coiro, co-founder and Vice President of Direct Line Cruises, one of the largest sellers of Royal Caribbean cruises in the Northeast, couldn't agree more. "I've been on the retail side of the cruise industry for nearly fifteen years now and, through good times and bad, it seems to be virtually 'bullet-proof'. When the economy is going strong, business is good for everyone but, even when the economy hits a 'pothole' and most businesses struggle just to survive, it seems that more and more new people are drawn to the exceptional value of cruising." Tom continues, "So, by aggressively marketing to first-time cruisers while cruise ticket prices are especially low, we gain many new clients who might not have been tempted to try cruising before."

Workhorse Custom Chassis is in the process of developing a one-two punch aimed at revitalizing the market for walk-in trucks.

The manufacturer of chassis for walk-in trucks (also known as step vans) "has developed a new laser focus with our truck products and marketing" since its acquisition by International Truck and Engine Corporation in 2005, said Jay Sandler, Workhorse vice president of commercial product.

Walk-in trucks, because of their easy stand-up access to the interior cargo area, lower loading platform and easy entrance and exit out the curbside steps, are ergonomically superior and much more efficient than cab-and-box trucks for businesses performing multiple service stops. They also make ideal mobile warehouses and workshops for contractors or those involved in service work.
