I had it down to 3 then after going back and forth I was down to 2 and after much thought I wasn't sure so I called my son in NYC this morning as he's been home with a case of Covid and I wanted to check up on him. So we started talking and I mentioned I had to pick a name and I was down to 2 and he mentioned a few things that made sense and so that was it. I made my choice. An let me be 100% clear this choice has no bias or about any friendships as almost everyone who submitted some picks I consider friends/customers. This was one of the more difficult decisions as far as picking a name for the Aroma Blend. Just wanted to get that out of the way.Wow, excited as I saw a lot of great suggestions. Thanks Frank !
So the winner is Dave in KY for his pick of " Dark ROC " and the reason I ended up with that has my final pick is based on Rochester which does have that nickname ROC and even our airport goes by those letters. I Like that's it's saying Rochester is going to go dark and that goes along with what this one time release as we won't see another full Eclipse in the US until 2044 and when that happens Rochester won't be a great place to see if from and I know I won't be around to see it as I'll be somewhere else! LOL
I'll be posting updates as I have more info on the release which will be targeted for the mid March which is 3 weeks from the Eclipse. I've got my packaging lined up and I think you'll like what the set looks like. It will contain a 6 oz jar of the F Base Shave Soap, a Skin Food Splash in a 3.4 oz Bottle and a 4 oz Round Bath Bar Soap in a black metal container and a pair of glasses to view the Eclipse safely. All this will come in a Black Box with a special Sticker on it. I'll post up the price once I get everything figured out as I'm not sure if this is a release that should only be sold on the ETHOS website exclusively because if it goes to my vendors it will affect the final price as their are margins to figure in. I'll have to give this some serious thought and if anyone has any thoughts on that please feel free to message me.
Congrats Dave!
As the winner your set will be the first one shipped out.
Thanks to everyone that participated in this contest and I'm sure there will be more coming up in the future.
All the best
Frank
Dave your right there were a lot of great suggestions and it was one of the harder ones to pick but you can thank my son as he gave me good reasons why Dark ROC made sense and he called me just a few minutes ago just to add that there are also many business in Rochester that use the name ROC in their name so definitely a good pick.
Hope you enjoy the set.
