HP Daily Blog correspondent EB reports on Belly Dance’s brand extension:
“They were just sitting there, so we decided it as time to sell them something.” That’s how Belly Dance’s store manager described the idea of what to do with husbands of expecting mothers. “While the mom is shopping for maternity wear, the dads are bored to the bejeus. It’s perfectly understandable. I would be too.”
To tap this untapped resource, Belly Dance had its designers retrofit some looks for the tummy toting pops. “To be honest, there’s not a huge difference between a pregnant mom and a pot-belly dad.” With fabrics that are beyond comfortable and for the most part unisex, Belly Dance has designed a line of men’s leisure wear. “If you’re lounging or watching a ball game, you may as well be comfortable. That’s what we’re selling men: Comfort.”
From flannels to fleece, stop in to Belly Dance and check out their new arrivals today.
OK Fine – it’s for the kids, but really it’s the adults who score the goodies in the eggs, right? Saturday, April 3rd at 10AM at West Ridge Park. The kids are divided by age. 3-years-old and under, 4-7 years-old and 8-years old to senior citizen. Our money is on the 3 year olds to run circles around the 1 year olds – not even a contest! Although the 7 year old could hip-check the 4-year olds, and the 8-year old could hip-check the seniors…well, it should be interesting to see how it all plays out…fun for the whole family – and it’s FREE! Questions? call 847-579-3120.
