They say it's your birthday

Happy 1st Birthday Omonom!! We are back from Otakon, and man are we exhausted!! Being our first repeat convention as a team, we were excited to compare it to last year's awesome level. Naturally, it again exceeded our expectations tenfold. We met so many new faces, premiered tons of hit products, and generally had a blast. We already have pictures on our Facebook page if you want to check them out.

Some highlights of the convention:
Selling out of so many items. We did this last year, and we did it again. We still cannot believe how many people love our stuff. It is an awesome feeling, and we love every single smile we help to create.
Awesome customer stories. One mother just had to buy a luma because "her five year old wants to be one this Halloween." One man bought a luma to "woo" a girl. Another person bought a fairy because they were "creating a Legend of Zelda display shelf in their house and the only thing they still needed was a fairy in a bottle."
Fire evacuation? This Otakon featured the first convention fire evacuation we have ever experienced, and we were very impressed with the staff's preparedness and organization. Considering just how large a convention Otakon is, the whole operation took very little time. Yes, standing around outside in the heat for an hour, desperate to return to our products, was not the most fun thing in the world. But they proved their definite ability to keep us con-goers as safe as possible.


Overall, it was a great success. In the next few weeks, we will be posting our Otakon premiere products to our website and our Etsy, so be sure to look for them!

  2. Another highlight: Repeat Customers. People that walked up to the table holding/wearing our products that they had bought at past conventions. Someone even was using a fairy as part of their Shadow Link costume!
