  • Another Member of the Small Dog Family!

    **Vincent Izzo** joined us just last month, making him the latest addition to our “**S. Burlington**”:http://www.smalldog.com/burlington team. Vincent has a passion for renewable resources, and takes extra steps to be mindful of his impact on the environment.

    In his free time, he practices the art of fire spinning and enjoys table top RPGs (word on the street is he’s designing his own!). He’s also an active member of the Burlington art community, and runs a weekly cabaret night at various local venues.

    With a strong background in retail, Vincent has a knack for problem solving, going the extra mile and does it all with a friendly and approachable demeanor. If you’re looking to discuss PC integration, fine arts, or fire spinning, stop by the South Burlington store and ask for Vincent!

    **Meet Emily Giddings!**

    Emily is fairly new to the Rutland store, and started with us early November. She resides in Brandon, Vermont, and went to school at Otter Valley and then UVM.

    Not only does Emily work for Small Dog Electronics, but in addition, she works on her family dairy farm in Florence, VT. She is an iOS specialist at the Rutland store, and is eager to help in any way she can.

    **Meet Jamie Willis!**
    __Rutland, VT store__

    Jamie Willis is born and raised in the Rutland area. Community involvement is very important to Jamie, so a job where he can meet new people and get reacquainted with the community was just the job he was looking for — and he found that at Small Dog!

    Most of Jamie’s duties are retail and consulting-related but where he excels is in the OS X operating system. If you have any questions about Snow Leopard all the way up to Mavericks, Jamies your guy!

    Additionally, Jamie has extensive knowledge on our headphone manufacturers and iOS 7. He teaches the Friday classes on OS 10.9 Mavericks for computers and on iOS 7 for iPhones and iPads.

  • March Mayhem

    Spring is almost here! Normally, March is the month where many of us are itching to see some snow melt, or perhaps you’re taking these weeks to grab some final runs up on the slopes. If you’re lucky enough to be our southernmost location, maybe you’re just hoping for another sunny day!

    This month at Small Dog, we decided it was time for new changes and excitement, so we are launching “**March Mayhem!**”:http://www.smalldog.com/marchmayhem During the entire month of March, all of our retail locations will be offering weekly specials as well as a “Half Ass Bracket” contest that starts March 17th and runs through March 28th. Even if you don’t care about NCAA/March Madness you’ll want to enter — fill out your final four choices and the winners of the last three games of the playoffs, and you could win a pair of **Beats** headphones and a **Chill Box** speakers! And, as a special bonus to you — our local customers — if you enter in-store, you have a chance to win a **$400 Small Dog gift card!** This contest is available both in our stores and on our website, so if you do both, you’ll have more chances to win!

    We’ve had a tradition of rotating issues back and forth between our stores (e.g. sometimes you’d see an issue from our S. Burlington staff, and then the following month would be from Waitsfield), but as our locations have grown, we recognize that our readers are now located all over New England and now Florida. We don’t want readers to have to wait months to hear about what’s happening in their local store, so starting this month, you will see bits of information from all of our retail locations! Each issue will contain a variety of information on anything from store events, staff bio’s, community events, and of course, new products!

    We hope that you enjoy our new format and of course, don’t forget to stop by our stores.

    Thank you for reading!
