"Jibbitz on Oprah" - Tune In !

Jan
30

Sheri Schmelzer, Founder/Creator of Jibbitz will appear on "The Oprah
Winfrey Show" this Friday Feb 2, 2007 (check local listings). On the show
Sheri will discuss the Jibbitz story and how she took the Jibbitz idea from
the basement to $20M in a year. She will be appearing with several other
"Million Dollar Moms". This show is a great inspiration to anyone that has
an idea that they want to get off the ground.

Although Sheri feels that timing, luck and good fortune were the main
ingredients for this success story, she also believes that hard work and
her dedication to family were a big part of Jibbitz success. Sheri says
that it was an absolute thrill for her and her 3 children to meet Oprah
Winfrey. We are all very proud of her and extremely excited that she will
share her amazing story with you.

Be sure to set your Tivo's!

Below are the "screen grabs" from the Oprah Site as well as a link to the Oprah Winfrey website to read more about the show.

I am getting married this up year and I am thinking about buying all of my girls crocs to match their bridesmaids dresses a long with the jibbitz jelws, and I would like my something blue to be the crocs shoes. So this is going to put a little something extra personalized into our wedding.

Here in the UK, they just aired The Oprah Show episode in which Sheri appeared. I wanted to say that I love Crocs and the Jibbitz are amazing fun! Thanks, Sheri! Keep up the fantastic work.

Dear Sheri, Hats off to you and yours. No one on the Oprah show addressed the issue of patents and the process or how much it costs from beginning to end - lawyers and all. Could you shed some light on the process for me. I am having a hard time trying to figure out which way to go or start with my invention. Thanks Sheri. Sincerely, Charleen in North Carolina.

I was inspired by your story and would love to get advice from someone like yourself on what steps to take to launch a great idea I have of my own. Would love to hear from you. Kath

Congratulations! What an inspiration you are to me! I don't have a very glamorous or exciting idea such as yours! But I wanted to let you know that I think it is terrific that you have created so much for yourself and family thru your hardwork, dedication, creativity & resourcefulness! Smiles all around! luv, Laura
