WCTC & FLOMO® UNITE TO HELP NEW JERSEY STUDENTS

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ (January 20, 2013) – There is no better way to start off a new year than with new supplies! That is exactly what two lucky New Jersey classrooms will be doing, thanks to a special contest by the state’s most listened-to news talk radio show, 1450 AM WCTC and a Bergen-county based everyday and seasonal product manufacturer and distributor, FLOMO®. “New Jersey TODAY” heard locally on 1450 AM WCTC and statewide at WCTCAM.com, and FLOMO®, a leading provider of quality school supplies, organized a statewide contest where every student from two lucky New Jersey classrooms would each receive their own back-to-school backpack. 

Each backpack was loaded with supplies that every student needs, including pencils, pens, crayons, notebook, rulers, binder, pencil sharpener, Eco Erasers, and much more generously donated by FLOMO®. “We believe in the importance of education and that children should have adequate school supplies to use in their school years. FLOMO is proud to help and donate whatever we can,” says FLOMO President & CEO, Wendy Shen. WCTC and FLOMO® accepted contest nomination submissions from classrooms throughout the state; the nominations were open to parents, teachers, administrators, and even the students themselves. 

In October, two winning classrooms were selected at random from the nominations; a 2^nd grade class at Faber School in Dunellen, taught by Ms. Sherri Krauss, and a 3^rd grade class at Academy Street School in Dover, taught by Ms. Lyndsay George. Following a delay caused by Hurricane Sandy, the students from each winning classroom received their backpacks during presentation ceremonies which were held at the winning schools. “It’s great to be able to help some Jersey students”, says Bert Baron, WCTC’s Program Director, and host of New Jersey TODAY. “As a kid who went to public school here in Jersey, I know that having good supplies to use every day is vital for academic success.”

Both WCTC and FLOMO are looking forward to repeating the contest for many years to come!

FLOMO Helps Local Bergen County Girl Scout Troop Sell Cookies with Donation of Reusable Lunch Bags

Teterboro, NJ May 16, 2012 - During the heavy Girl Scout cookie selling season, one clever troop in Bergen County, NJ boosted their cookie booth sales by offering their customers an incentive. For every three boxes bought, each customer received a FLOMO® reusable lunch bag with Girls Scouts 100^th Anniversary sticker attached. The free bag incentives helped the girls exceed their sales goal by selling more than 1,430 boxes. All thirteen girls from Ventures Troop 2000 were honored with a special troop award.

Their sales technique is just one example how Girl Scout troops find creative ways to sell their cookies. Working with companies and seeking donations, girls can pair up their sales with free gift incentives or services from outside the Girl Scouts organization – making unlimited opportunities.

Girl Scouts get various instrumental learning experiences through selling cookies. They learn to work as a team with the other members of their troop to figure out where and how they will sell the cookies – searching for highly populated areas that get a lot of traffic. Troops get experience setting up table displays of cookie boxes using their creativity to find ways to decorate the table, attract eyes, and gain more customers. Girls also learn communication skills in selling and talking to potential customers while explaining price, flavors, and the humanitarian benefits of buying cookies from their organization. FLOMO® recognizes the Girl Scouts’ hard effort and likes to support them.

FLOMO®/Nygala Corp. headquarters are located in Teterboro, NJ and is always looking for ways to give back to the community in any way possible. FLOMO®/Nygala Corp. is currently a proud Leadership Sponsor of the Girl Scout Councils of New Jersey’s 100^th Anniversary. The company has also sponsored, donated and volunteered at many Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey events including their annual Eco Trek, Women of Achievement Ceremony, and with their “Future CEO Program” created to empower girls to be leaders in business. The FLOMO team cultivates and manages all FLOMO’s sponsorship activities.
