yeah i've seen that one too. when we get phone orders i ask customers where they heard about us, etc. and they mention an article in Good Housekeeping (w/ kelly ripa on the front cover)... and we're like hmm okay... another write up no one told us about! but we found out it's that same product you saw on The View today. and then another customer told us that Good Morning America did something about our product without telling us last week (but santas secret's been on that show before).
...apprently people are thinking it's us cuz they just go and search 'tree waterers' and Santas Secret comes up as the top result -- this idea of a tree waterer gets in their head. so as a result we have been getting bombarded by orders REALLY early this year (20-60 per day). i'm getting paid for processing orders, but quite frankly i'm sort of overwhelmed along with school, rehearsals, shows and stuff i have to get ready for. and i was gonna finally get a car for once in my life but now that's gonna happen for awhile (AGAIN).

is it makin alotta money now...like ur dad and stuffs gonna be richhhhhh? haha... uhhh no. cuz all that money goes into other projects or to pay off credit cards... it takes money to uhh... make money. yeah... i really hate seeing the truth in that... life sucks! money is so evil i really hate it. anyway, here's an email i got from a customer at like 10AM while i was away at school and rehearsals (i get calls and emails like this one A LOT): "I saw your product on Good Morning America and have been searching the stores for it ever since. Can you please tell me via email what stores in the Philadelphia area are selling the Christmas tree waterers. Thank you for your time."my dad only has it in some small ma and pop midwest stores and another online site. my dad had a chance to get it in walmart a couple times, but he had second thoughts about that cuz.... walmart kinda messes with and copies shit..

ok, so I was at work earlier and some lady came up and asked if we sold "those santa's secret tree watering things"...and it made me laugh. Thinking back on it, she was probably kind of offended or thought I was crazy or something for laughing at her question. but, yeah.

no it would just be me. i mean my mom would probably fly with me to ny or i'd just go by myself whatever doesn't matter to me. but i'm pretty sure it's not happening this year. they're looking for a christmas tree waterer with a national commercial whichhh... i mean... GOOD LUCK with that.. (cuz there aren't any, silly NBC). my dad only has infomercial and QVC type commercials. unless that one waterer that was on The View has a national one... www.evergreenseasons.com/& speaking of that waterer... THAT'S the waterer that was in the Oprah Magazine. it wasn't my dad's -- AGAIN. I dunno about THEIR sales, but OH MAN oh man that waterer has helped OUR sales. haha. we've doubled sales this season... we're on route to make $20,000+ in 2 months. (omg... and notice how their site is set up fairly similar to www.Santas-Secret.com ? hahaha)
