jandals goes live
Posted by admin in BLOG by Renee on 11 16th, 2009The book has had a great first couple of weeks. It was only released into stores on 30th October (we thought all you wonderful contributors deserved the first glimpse and go at it) and sales have been romping along. Admittedly, there has been a few moments of bookseller confusion because some still had the “old-never-went-to-print” version listed in their system. But once everyone lays eyes on the final product, there is no confusion… it screams “Buy me! You will laugh, marvel, learn and maybe even cry”.
Due to demand, we’re installing a buying function on this site. I have been off the grid the past week, doing jandals related tasks and partaking in jandal related behaviour (moving, recovering from jetlag, exploring my new neighbourhood, maybe a glass of vino or two) so now that I am back and can speed the technos up a bit, we should be live for online buying in 24 hours.
Speaking of live, TVNZ have been getting behind Jandals too. Here is a link to Jane and I on the Good Morning Show: http://tvnz.co.nz/good-morning/goodmorning-s2009-e051109-jandalprints-video-3114894
And Media 7 launch coverage:

More media coverage… I’ll update it soon. You can also keep up to speed with photos, links etc on our Facebook Page.
For now, thanks for all your Jandal support everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the book, we love hearing your feedback so feel free to fire it through.

The book has launched!
Posted by admin in BLOG by Rachel on 11 1st, 2009It is the most amazing feeling. I spent about half an hour stroking the first copy, before I realised I was getting strange looks from the barista. To those of you who made it along to Auckland City Library on Thursday night, thank you very much for your support, and a special thank you to Prue Kane, Matt Kennedy Good and Lachlan Forsyth for your last minute readings… the audience loved them! Sales are already going strong – we sold over 1,200 in our first day – and with your help, this pace can continue.
The book is simply beautiful and will make a great Christmas present, and remember that proceeds from book sales go to the Espoir Trust, a charity that actively encourages youth to pursue their ambitions, travel the world, and provide a positive contribution to our society.
Above all, we hope the book encourages people to follow their dreams; because, whether you think you can or not, you’re probably right.
Rachel xx
