Greetings from Waitsfield!

ByMike Moffit

Hello, loyal Small Doggers! This is my first contribution to one of our newsletters, and I’d like to introduce myself. I’ve been working in the Waitsfield showroom for about six months, and have lived in the Mad River Valley since 2001. My wife Angie and I have two boys (15 and 7) and two Wheaten Terriers. The energy runs about the same between all four of them, so we are constantly on the move!

Here in the Valley, while you can still hike the mountains to make a few turns (and we still have one very large snow bank in our driveway), just about all of the snow has melted. That means Angie and I are getting into the garden (my fall garlic has popped through the hay!) and my boys can throw the lacrosse ball back and forth without it disappearing in the snow.

We’re big fans of having music playing while we’re working outside, which is why I recommend the Chill Box wireless speaker (in Purple!) to anyone looking to do the same thing. With a rechargeable battery that will keep us listening the whole time we’re outside, it’s a great addition to any home.

When the boys decide they want to use the Chill Box while shooting hoops, I can grab my Outdoor Tech Privates over-the-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones. With no wires to get in the way, it’s another great option for staying entertained while working in the yard.

In addition to getting outside again, May also means our annual Dads & Grads promotions and specials are on the horizon. These deals will begin Monday, May 19th, so keep an eye out for great deals on device bundles and assorted accessories!

Happy Spring, all!

  • Hammerhead Takes Over: Introducing Sync-Charge Cables!

    Hammerhead-cable

    Hammerhead — not only a shark with an odd head, or a cute little bulldog that rides shotgun on Don’s motorcycle — but our very own Small Dog Electronics brand!

    We’ve just released the “**Hammerhead Sync-Charge Cable**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search?search=hammerhead+lightning. It’s a flat cable, slightly more durable than the Apple cord, and selling for **$18.99**.

    They come in three color options: Red, Black, or White. The cable is the traditional length of 1-meter long, comparable to what you receive originally with your device.

    The Hammerhead Sync-Charge cable is compatible with iPhone 5/5c/5s, iPad mini (both with and without Retina Display), iPad 4, iPad Air, iPod touch (5th Gen.), and the iPod nano (7th Gen.).

    Plug it right into your USB port, or pair it with Hammerhead’s very own 12w Dual USB Charger, and you have a complete wall charging set!

  • Goodbye to One of Our Own

    As you may have heard, we had to make the difficult decision to close our Manchester, NH location last month. After almost four years in the Mall of New Hampshire, it became a reality that the mall life was not for us. (Or, as we say, Small Dog is no Mall Dog…)

    We opened that store in October 2010 with high expectations for the area, widely seen as a destination for Boston-area dwellers. We ultimately found that we couldn’t connect with our customers in the way that we wanted to (and were used to) in a mall setting, but we tried many different things to reach potential customers.

    We want to thank our Manchester (and surrounding) customers for your support over the years — it has been a pleasure getting to know you, and we are keeping our options open for a return to the area in the future. Our Outside Sales rep, Dana Flint, has stayed on to work with businesses that need one of the many solutions that Small Dog can provide. For retail customers, we encourage you to shop (tax-free, as always) at “*Smalldog.com*”:http://www.smalldog.com or take a scenic drive up to “*one of our Vermont locations*”:http://www.smalldog.com/retail (or take a vacation to Key West, FL!).

  • New Pup

    We want to take a moment to introduce one of the newest additions to the Small Dog South Burlington team, “**Noah Duncan**”:http://www.smalldog.com/noah.

    Noah is a quick learner and has become an asset we are happy to have on our team! He is one of our go-to audio experts and can assist with your setup, from portable speakers or to home entertainment systems.

    Noah’s a hardworking student, die-hard snowboarder and gamer as well (his Call of Duty clan is one of the best out there…just saying), so whether you need new speakers, want to reminisce over last winter’s powder or talk gaming, Noah will help with a joke and a smile.
