We've come along way: 2011 recap

2011 was a year of tremendous growth for Fridge Coaster.  My husbands idea evolved from weekly trips to Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears & local appliance stores to test fit the product and get the sizing absolutely perfect.  So much R&D that he was known as "that Fridge Coaster guy" at our local Lowe's. To an actual prototype that we could feature and test with a wide audience.  We participated in various shows and festivals, including the Herndon Festival and Market Day at Baxter Village, to get the product in people's hand and get constructive feedback from our customers.  We really listened and from there we introduced exciting patterns and colors to our coasters.  We were lucky enough to make contact with some national retailers and pitch our product; news on that front to be announced soon :). We also launched our online store, www.fridgecoaster.com, where customers can customize what color combination they want in their fridge.  Below is a photo timeline of 2011......
