Below are two updates I received from Mom via e-mail regarding her latest ventures with the Baby Banana Brush. She asked me to post this on the Family Blog for everyone to see. Enjoy!
Official launch of Live-Right’s new Baby Banana Brush® took place last weekend at the International meetings of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
We made a timid entry into the tradeshow of more than 5,000 attendees—which included doctors and staff. Our creative booth, with its simple cardboard palm trees, tissue paper grass, and hanging monkeys created by my daughter-in-law, Jennifer was so fun! It didn’t win best decorated, but it won the hearts of the crowd.
The other 500 vendor booths were stunned that our new toothbrush was singled out, time and again, as the most innovative product of the conference. My staff (JJ, Jennifer & Natalee) and I had one-on-one conversations with hundreds of prospective buyers. (We are nearly sold out of current stock but have 6,000 more on the way.) Three pediatric hospitals, numerous offices and clinics, and other vendors and distributors are interested in our toothbrush. Two trade journals interviewed us for articles and others voted us “busiest booth.”
In Japan , the week of June 16th, I will meet and negotiate with several Japanese pharmaceutical distributing companies who hope to carry our toothbrush in their stores. I’ll also meet with the Japanese Dental Hygiene Association, and am slated to be interviewed by several magazines.
We’re finding this busy new banana life very “A-peel-ing!”

Hi Kids,
Just an update…
I’m still working on fulfilling orders from the convention, but I’ve gotten 6 more orders by phone in the last two days, totaling 200 additional brushes besides those we took orders for at our booth. This is crazy! Even a doctor from Austria wants some! The doctors themselves have called me and said, “I tried it on my kids and they LOVE them. We need more ASAP.” I think we have a winner here.
Thank you again for your above-and-beyond service. I wish I still had you all!! I’m dying! (but a good? kind of dying)
The people from Orem (the infant pacifier and Zylitol tooth gel people) are meeting with me next week and will have me present their product(s) in Japan . We’ll get some royalty off that if they bite. I’m going to Japan on June 16 and have made my reservations. We’re meeting with several big companies and I hope to come back with a big order or promise of an order.
