Bobby:
After everyone had returned to the living room and took their respective seats on the sofa, Bobby began. “Let me begin by quickly going through the header sections of the Stuff For Everyone® website.”
Susan:
Interrupting, Susan stated, “Oh, Bobby, that stuff is boring. Let’s get to the products.”
Bobby:
Looking at his wife, Bobby replied, “I will hon. But I would like to quickly go over the header and footer sections, so Karen and Charlie get a feel of how comprehensive and professional we made the site.”
Susan:
“If you insist, Bobby,” Susan replied, rolling her eyes towards the ceiling.
Bobby:
For the next six or seven minutes, Bobby went through the About Us, Customer Service, Employment Opportunities and Terms and Conditions sections, stating at the end, “You can read each of these at your leisure. Now let’s review the products.”
Susan:
“Start with the category called, Stuff For Wine Drinkers,” Susan suggested.
Karen:
No sooner had Bobby clicked on the category page then Karen’s eyes focused on the red and white wine glass set images stated, “Look at that, Charlie,” she stated with enthusiasm. “I love both the red and white wine glass sets, she added. “How did you ever come up with that name, Comfort In A Glass, let alone the Stuff For Everyone® concept?”
Charlie:
“Karen,” Charlie stated, “They already gone over that with us.”
Karen:
“Oh, Yeah,” she inserted. “Susan went over that last night on the phone.” Looking to change the subject as she was feeling a bit embarrassed, Karen asked, pointing to the woman’s Comfort In A Glass V-Neck T-Shirt image to the right of the white wine glass set image, “I love that shirt. Can you click on the image please, Bobby?”
Susan:
A second later the image of a female mannequin popped up wearing a black V-Neck T-Shirt with the words at the top of the image reading, ‘Promotional Item-Buy one set of either red or wine glasses and get this Comfort In A Glass T-Shirt for FREE. Just pay S&H’.”
Karen:
“Are you kidding me, Susan,” Karen called out. “How can you guys afford to give away a $19.95 T-Shirt?
Bobby:
“Look at it as a promotion,” Bobby answered.
Karen:
“You’ll have every wine drinker in America buying these glasses and wearing that shirt,” Karen strongly stated looking in the direction of Susan and Bobby.
Bobby:
“That’s the idea, Karen,” Bobby answered.
Karen:
“As soon as I go to work tomorrow, I’m going to tell all my colleagues about this Comfort In A Glass promotion,” Karen announced. “Most of them are wine drinkers. They will love this.”
Susan:
“That would be very much appreciated, Karen,” Susan answered.
Bobby:
“As I mentioned earlier, Stuff For Everyone® is a website that is consistently evolving, that is, we will always be adding new products,” Bobby said. “For example, in a few months we will add Comfort In A Glass hats and a second set of red and white wine stemless glasses. Then perhaps whiskey glasses.”
Charlie:
“What a great concept, Comfort In A Glass,” Charlie stated with excitement in his voice. “I think you guys will do very well not only with your current wine glass products but with all the line extensions you just mentioned, Bobby.”
Bobby:
Looking at the wall clock hanging over one of two matching end tables Bobby announced, “It’s twenty after nine.”
Karen:
“How time flies, when you’re having fun,” Susan stated taking one last drink from her wine glass.”
Bobby:
“In the interest of time, perhaps we pick two more categories to go over and then call it a night,” Bobby suggested.
Charlie:
That sounds fine with me,“ Charlie stated. “I have to get up at five tomorrow to be at the bus depot by six to go over the accident report,” he added.
Bobby:
“Right then,” Bobby said. Looking to Karen, he asked, “Any particular category you wish to see?
Karen:
“Well, since Susan is a nurse, I would like to see the Stuff For Nurses category,” Karen replied. “How about you, Charlie,” she asked. “What category do you want to see?”
Charlie:
“New York Stuff,” Charlie firmly answered. “As a New Yorker, was there ever a choice,” he jokingly added.
Charlie:
“New York Stuff,” Charlie firmly answered. “As a New Yorker, was there ever a choice,” he jokingly added.
Susan:
“Before we begin let me get some more wine,” Susan said as she got up from the sofa and took a few steps towards the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen Susan whispered loudly, “I can’t get enough of this Stuff For Everyone® website. I could talk about it all night long.”
Karen:
“That makes four of us, Susan” Karen called out to Susan’s surprise.
