The Birth of STABILO Active Shop at Flax San Francisco!

It's alive! And quite active!

The first STABILO Active Shop towers to go up in the US were raised at Flax Art & Design in San Francisco, CA last week!

It was great to see curious customers migrate right over to this bold new display. People were picking out products even before everything was out on the shelf! For pictures of the new display click on the link below:

OK, well the whole store won't quite be STABILO, but this week Flax Art & Design in San Francisco, CA (http://www.flaxart.com/) will become the first retailer in the United States to have their very own STABILO Active Shop!

This 2-tower display will hold a ton of cool STABILO stuff. Here's a sneak peak at what's gonna be in there:

Point Visco pens
CarbOthello pencils
Write 4 All pens
Sensor pens
Pen 68 markers

Point 88 fineliners

BOSS highlighters

Easy Ergo pencils

ALL STABILO pencils

Woody 3 in 1 pencils

Power markers

GREENlighter - FSC dry highlighters

GREENgraph - FSC graphite pencils

GREENcolors - FSC colored pencils

This is definitely one hearty selection of STABILO.

We'll be setting up the display this week and I'll be updating the blog after it's up and ready to go!

We'll also be celebrating with Flax for this special occasion of being the first in the US to have the STABILO Active Shop by holding a STABILO event later this year. I'll be posting that as well once it's determined.

STABILO Is Hot at the University of Oregon!

Word on the Oregon streets is that University of Oregon students love STABILO! So much so in fact, that the Duckstore (the school bookstore) made a cool custom window display to celebrate the arrival of a new STABILO display in their store.

I asked the store staff what they liked most about STABILO. They said they really liked the good German quality and stylish design of the products - and style matters to their students! They also liked that a lot of the products are more ergonomic and more unique than the standard, non-exciting pens and pencils you find in the big box stores.

As far as what products are most popular with the students, it looks like Point 88 and Pen 68 are the winners. But that wasn't it. Staff members Christopher and Rachel said, "The Stabilo Green line appeals to North West customers. Big draw as environmental issues become more mainstream." They also professed love for the Woody pencils and new dry highlighters!

Nice to see the STABILO love spreading out there!

STABILO Dry Highlighter - GREENlighter!

I have to be honest, one of the new STABILO products that surprised me the most this year was the GREENlighter - a dry highlighter pencil that's part of the new GREEN range of product. Basically, it's a thick pencil that's used as a highlighter. STABILO used to make the BOSS dry highlighter pencil, but discontinued it several years ago. I was fortunate to have one of the old BOSS dry highlighters and LOVED it, which is why all that remains now is a little nub of it in my desk drawer. So when I found out STABILO was reviving the dry highlighter as part of their GREEN range, I got excited.

What surprised me was that there are others out there that felt the same way I did! When talking to STABILO lovers about it, I found there were other people out there who missed the BOSS dry highlighter and have actually been looking for it since it disappeared. Now it's been reincarnated as an eco-friendly version in three colors!

So here's the lowdown on the GREENlighter - it has a triangular shape making it more ergonomic to hold, and it's also thicker than a normal pencil. The wood is 100% FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood and is coated with an eco-friendly matte finish. It comes in three colors; yellow, green, and pink.

Kids Gone Wild for STABILO at Flax Kidsfest!

Kids descended upon Flax Art & Design by the HUNDREDS this past Saturday for a day of artistic discovery! Most of them made it to the STABILO table where they grabbed up Point 88 and Pen 68 pens, CarbOthello and Woody pencils and went crazy making artist trading cards on Strathmore ATC papers. It wasn't just the kids who got in on the fun, the parents were right there up in the mix trying different products and indulging their artistic imaginations. Not surprisingly, the big hits of the day were the Point 88 pens and Woody 3 in 1 pencils.
