Dear Friends,
We have culminated our October Domestic Violence awareness campaigns with events in our Rutland, S. Burlington and Key West stores. All month long we have been giving a portion of our sales to women’s shelters in the communities where we operate. These events personify our commitment to our communities and enjoyed the enthusiastic support of our employees, customers and the women’s shelters with whom we partnered.
I am pleased to introduce two new members of the Small Dog team. Rachel Narkewicz and Dean Liebau have joined us as our new marketing team and have been undergoing training at Small Dog headquarters for the past several days and will introduce themselves here in Kibbles this week. We are very happy to have Rachel and Dean on our team!
Apple Pay was launched with iOS8.1 this week and all of the initial reports are that it is working great. I don’t have my iPhone 6 yet so I cannot give you any first hand information but all the reports are that it works flawlessly. Tim Cook said he wanted it to be a better experience than credit cards and I think Apple got it right. Interestingly, CurrentC, the competitor which is favored by a few companies such as CVS announced that it was hacked this week and lost some email addresses. In other Apple Pay news, Tim Cook and Jack Ma the CEO of Alibaba said they would begin to talk about teaming up for Apple Pay.
