Best selling sailboat line expands

Dicksons, Inc. has supplied inspirational tabletop sailboats as office and desk top gifts and outstanding Father’s Day and graduation gifts for five years. During this period, an expansion of the product offering from metal boats on marble bases with inspirational words and scripture to Glass Inspirations to the wood and cloth sailboats first introduced for January 2007 has been embraced by gift consumers.

With sales of the popular gold and nickel metal sailboats continuing strong, the wood sailboats rocketed to best seller status in months.

Continuing the success of the wood sailboats, for this summer Dicksons has introduced five additional tabletop sailboats, including one 33 inches tall, and eight wall mounted wood and fabric sailboats with inspirational messages. These newest additions that hang on an office, den or bedroom walls are available in 33 inch, 20 inch and 13 inch tall versions with net prices from $7.25 to $20. All are available for immediate shipment.

“We are pleased at the sell through of all models of our inspirational sailboats. This line of gift products, in metal, glass and wood, are satisfying our consumers’ desire for a versatile, quality gift at an attractive price,” notes Dave McNabb, Vice President, Product Development. “The quality of the woodworking on the boats and the printing on the fabric sails of the new wall mounted product is outstanding, exceeding our core customers’ expectations for decorative wall art at these price points.”

All these new gift products are available through the Dicksons sales representative, on display at the summer trade shows (ICRS in Orlando, FL booth 2243, Dallas Trade Mart 1030 and Atlanta Gift Mart Bld 2-1735) and on-line at www.DicksonsGifts.com.
