Read about us in GöteborgsPosten

Today there is an article about social media in GöteborgsPosten, one of Swedens largest newspapers.

You can read the article here.

The journalist, Per Nygren, asked me how we are benefiting from our use of social media such as our two bloggs, our Twitter account, our Facebook group.

The lastest information from Govinda says that the fabrics will clear customs today! (YES!) and arrive in Nepal on Tuesday. Finally we can get started.

Lina and I are trying to take the weekends off, in order to save strength. It has been a lot of work for a long time now. We managed to take the entire day off yesterday. Today? We'll, I'm sitting here writing the blog, I'm communicating with Govinda in Nepal, I'm preparing a newsletter. But hey, one day without work is a good thing. I didn't even start up my computer yesterday.

Stay tuned, soon you will be able to buy our products from the live shop. Until then, have a look at the sneak preview at www.thefairtailor.com.

Clearing customs

Hi there all you fans of The Fair Tailor.

We are currently moving forward towards the launch at a high pace. A luckey few have got the chance to design their own unique shirts at our beta site. Their respons has been very positive and helpful. We are now changing a few things after their tests and opinions.
The website looks great, the IT crew at Monator are doing a great job. I cant let you see the site yet, but you'll have to trust me.

When we launch the site we will have more products than tailor made shirts, we will also sell towels in ecological Egyptian cotton, cuff links made from recyckled circut boards and paper products made from in Nepal from recycled paper.

We are currently planning to move this blog, so that it will appear under our main website www.thefairtailor.com. But we will of course let you know all about that.

Right now the fabrics are clearing customs between India and Nepal. As soon as they get to Kathmandu we will start making the first shirts. Govinda, our employee in Nepal is doing a great job to get everything up to speed.

On Sunday you should try to get a hold of the newspaper Göteborgsposten. They interviewed me this Monday about social media. It's going to be interesting to read the article.

Front page news

Today we want to encourage all our fans to buy the newspaper Göteborgsposten.
If you do you will find a very interesting teaser on the front page, a small teaser and a picture on the front page of the financial section and a big article with a huge picture on the first spread.

If you do not want to see our pictures but just read the article you can also find it here.
We are really excited and very happy about this publicity. And the funny thing is that the reporter, Linus, contacted us. Lina spoke at seminar at the organisation Företagarna and they were so impressed by our story that when the reporter contacted them to find young people who have started a company they told him to contact us.
We really liked the pictures Magnus, the photographer, took. Our office is very, ehm, minimalistic. But he managed to find angles to give it life.

Today we are leaving for Malmö where we will speak at Rättvis Handelsforum and on Monday and Tuesday we will speak at Venture Cup. People must really like to hear what we have to say =)

We have put up a temp page at www.thefairtailor.com. Check it out if you want a preview of our website design and learn more about our company.

If you want to get updates on what happens with The Fair Tailor - send us an email (info@thefairtailor.com) and we will send you our newsletter.
