Bubble Briefs

Happy Holidays Everybody!

Michelle came home from school for Thanksgiving.  It was so nice having the whole family together!


As promised, here is a picture of Jenny’s car that you helped us pay for! It’s a 1991 Cavalier.  It runs great.  Thanks for all your help.  Jenny is driving all over town with it, so we don’t have to!

Also as promised, here is Steven with his new trombone.

He’s doing a great job tootin’ his horn for us!

This month’s specials included antistatic pink packing peanuts, pre-filled air pillows, and a new offering – tan carton sealing tape.

Bubble Briefs

• Jenny finally got her driver’s license.  Better stay clear of Illinois.  All the Midwestern states, in fact!
• Stay tuned for next month’s Newsletter.  Hopefully, we’ll have a picture of Jenny’s car to show you!
• Our son, Steven, just started playing the trombone for his fifth grade band.  Wow!  We never knew that trombones were so expensive!
• So, to help us out, Bubblefast has some new products and nifty specials to offer:

At this point, we showed you a new internet box size This box is perfectly designed to be as big as it could be without being oversized.

We also introduced new press on labels, such as Invoice Enclosed envelopes and Packing List Enclosed envelopes.

Lastly, we lowered our prices for our poly bags for the month.

We didn’t have anything exciting to report in September of 2003.  we introduced First Class shipping labels and a closeout 10×13 DiamondPak envelope (those are loooong gone!)  So, I skipped making a separate post for September, 2003

October, 2003, however, did bring a little news.  It was, in fact, the very first time that we actually used the name Bubble Briefs.  We thought it was a cute name.  We were, admittedly, a little afraid you might think we were talking about underwear!  Our main goal was to give you a few brief tidbits about what’s what happening in and around the Bubblefast family.

Here’s what we had to say in October, 2003:

• Michelle has just gone back to college (boo hoo.  We miss her already!)  Thanks to you, she was able to drive there in her own car!
• Believe it or not, Jenny has her driving permit now.  Her schedule is so busy that we can’t take her to all of the places she needs to go.  So, we need to get her a car by the end of the month!

So, to help us out, we introduced air pillows for the first time, gave a discount on bubble cushioning rolls, and brought in some closeout bubble mailers.

Well, we did it!  Thanks to you, we were able to get Michelle her car!

She’s all set now for college with her 1991 Honda Accord that you helped us pay for!

Unfortunately, we’re not done asking you for your help.  We just received the bill from our wedding pictures. Wouldn’t you know it.  They cost more than the car!

This is where, for the very first time, Bubblefast offered one of its most successful products – drum roll, please . . .
. . . Pink Anti-Static Packing Peanuts!

Since then we have expanded our void fill line-up by adding:

• Eco-Friendly White Biodegradable Packing Peanuts
• Prefilled Air Pillows
• PadLoc Peanuts in a Bag

The more you tell us what you need, the wider our selection of shipping supply products become.

Thanks!

S.O.S.!

Our daughter Michelle is home from college and she needs a car.
Jenny just got her permit and will need a car by the end of the summer.

We need to generate some cash!

So, Bubblefast ran a sale on Poly Bubble-Lined Mailers.  We figured that by helping you a little, it would help us a little.

We really did not have much to announce, other than we introduced another new label – Our highly successful To/From Address shipping labels.

Late Breaking Bubble News Bonanza!

We made arrangements with UPS to ship all our bubble cushioning rolls at discounted prices.  We were now able to offer our customers a choice between USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground shipping.  At the time, this was pretty big news.

So, in honor of this good news, Bubblefast offered a 5% discount on all bubble rolls.

We’re back from our Honeymoon.  We had a great time, but now we need to figure out a way to pay for it!

So, Bubblefast had to offer some specials that just couldn’t be refused!  We offered huge discounts on selected choices of bubble cushioning wrap, bubble mailers, carton sealing tape and tape dispensers.

Also, Bubblefast intorduced another new shipping label:  Media Mail.
