If you are having a winery wedding our glasses make great wedding favors. For winemakers, wine tasting tours, wine tasting events, local wine tasting our glasses are ideal. Use them for pool parties or picnics- anywhere that glass would be dangerous.  Follow our care instructions and they will last just as long as glass.

We also have some fun wine tumblers. Our Shark Vino2Go acrylic tumbler is perfect for outdoor events. The double walled acrylic keeps your wine cool while the lid keeps the bugs out. And prevents spills. The Tortoise is another fun option- it is a stemless wine glass with a lid and straw. Basically a sippy cup for wine lovers. Both come in great colors to complement your logo.

We also have a great option for the really unique- the Blowfish. We had a local casino buy them last Christmas because they kinda look like ornaments- she added them to her holiday displays and they were a hit. Their fun shape reminds me also of a coconut- so they are perfect for tropical parties and bars. Use at Tiki bars.

Whatever shape you need we have in our selection of different wine glasses. They all make great promotional items, gifts and trade show items. Let us help get your local winery or wine shop ready for the Fall wine tourism season.

Macy’s McKinley

One Christmas season back a few years I took a job part time seasonally at Kaufmanns at the McKinley Mall in Blasdell,NY. Within a few months I was hooked and loving my job. I cannot say enough nice things about the team at McKinley. From my first days as a trainee at McKinley to my last days as Office Manager at Macy’s there everyone was fantastic. My co-workers were family. And so were our customers. We had many who would just stop in to say hi. Or show off their grandchildren. Or pictures of events they had gone to. We knew our customers not just by name also their spouses, kids, best friends and cousins. I think that is something that Macy’s forgot when they took us over and tried to force McKinley into the square peg that wasn’t us.

At Macy’s McKinley, the people always came first. Always the relationship was more important than the sale. When I became Office Manager (or whatever the title was then) I was in charge of the CRL system. I received all the postcards customers filled out to give feedback as well as the online feedback. I loved it. I remember one Christmas at my sisters three hours away logging into the system to respond to customers. Good or bad, complaint or complement, I contacted them all. I loved sharing the good stories with whichever associate helped that customer and I really loved being able to turn an unhappy customer into a happy one. Usually they just wanted someone to listen. We were ALWAYS one of the top ranked stores in the country for customer service. The managers, associates, dock associates, visual associates, housekeeping, everyone there has a story to share about how they made someone’s day better. And a lot of the time a customer or two brightened our days also.

It was sad to see Macy’s McKinley close. I am sure it was even harder for a lot of our customers who relied on us for friendship as well as service. I think with this digital world we live in we are losing that personal touch that we had once. I hope I bring the lessons I learned from my co-workers/friends at Macy’s McKinley on how to connect with customers to our business. To listen to our customers, find out what brings them to us and help them find what they need. And hopefully leave with a smile and a promise to come back.

Yesterday my two children “clocked in” for the first time. I entered them in to our system as official employees. They have helped out before- and we take them to lunch to thank them. But we needed them for the whole day- and they are teenagers now and need money for various things. I remember my first job- I also worked where my father worked. Ok, it was National Fuel Gas and I was not in the same department as he was. But we would ride back and forth to work together. It was nice feeling like part of his world. He would leave every day for this mysterious thing called his job. Now I got to see his office, meet his co-workers and call them my friends and co-workers also.

Now our children get to be a bigger part of our business. They always have been really. From our early days when Mary would go on calls to customers with my husband to later years when they get to come and color while we worked. Lately they have been stuffing bottles, trimming shirts and sweeping the floor. Whatever needs to be done, whoever needs help. It is nice seeing them work together on a project (they are 14 and 15 and don’t always get along). They both take pride in their work and love to see “their” stuff out locally being used.
We want to make sure they know every aspect of the business.
When they are here they are employees. They answer to senior employees. They will need to work with everyone to earn and learn respect. They love meeting our customers who will hopefully some day be their customers.

The other day my son slipped and referred to us as “our business” not “mom and dad’s” like he usually did. I am glad he feels that way. I hope all of our customers do also.
