Fair Trade Month is Here!

Fair Trade Month 2010 is officially here and this year’s theme is “Every Purchase Matters.” This is a great time for all of us to reflect on the things we buy and try to be more conscious consumers. Every time you purchase a Fair Trade product, you are voting with your dollars and telling the world that you care about who produced your product, where, and under what conditions. This month, make it a priority to engage your friends, family and colleagues in discussions about Fair Trade- your involvement and passion can and will inspire others!

In honor of Fair Trade Month, Marigold will:

• Hold multiple contests on our blog, and Twitter and Facebook pages, where readers can win FREE products every week during the month of October.
• Sponsor and adopt October 21 through our partner Transfair USA– make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter to get all the details!
• Offer an exclusive coupon code to those people who find out about us and make an online purchase during Fair Trade Month
• Host events in Olympia, WA and New York, NY, on Thursday October 21^st, where we will debut our Fall 2010 collection and screen our documentary, while serving guests delicious fair trade wine and chocolates!
• and more!

This is an exciting time for Marigold and for the Fair Trade movement in general.  And just as a heads up, stay tuned for BIG NEWS coming from us during the month of October….
