Woodstock Chimes Reinvents Top Selling Products for 2008

While “knocking-off” today’s top trends would normally be considered taboo in any industry, Woodstock Chimes proudly introduces its 2008 collection, which copies many of the design elements in its own best-selling products. The worldwide leader in the manufacture of precision-tuned wind chimes and premium musical gifts has reinvented and redesigned many of its top products that shoppers have already fallen in love with.

“We have quite a few products that have remained top sellers for many years at Woodstock Chimes,” says Garry Kvistad, founder of Woodstock Chimes. “In designing many of this year’s new products, our thinking was that our retailers would benefit from an even broader selection of products with similar design features. In addition to offering more of these ‘classic’ products, we’ve expanded many of our trendiest collections, like the Feng Shui and Aloha series.”

Because of their unique design and wind-powered sound, the Woodstock Gongs have become an ever-popular best seller. For 2008, the Emperor Gong will be available in two additional sizes, a 50-inch-long version and a 23-inch-long version, along with the 34.5-inch-long original. Woodstock also introduces a smaller version of its Hanging Chau Gong at an attractive price point of $190 retail. Expanding upon another best-selling product, the Woodstock Turquoise Chimes will now be available in a satin silver finish that perfectly complements the stunning shade of its faux turquoise stones.

Last year’s stunning introduction of the Woodstock Victorian Garden Gong has inspired a complementary windchime, the Victorian Garden Chime. Its beautiful satin silver tubes measure a striking 54.5 inches long and its powder-coated cast iron accents give a wrought-iron look at an affordable $90 retail price.

Additional introductions to two recent collections are the Woodstock Aloha Chime in Natural and the Woodstock Feng Shui Chime in Chi Energy Amber. Kvistad credits the increasing popularity of these trendy collections to expanding interest from consumers in environmentally-friendly products and Eastern philosophy, respectively. The Woodstock Aloha Chime is made of natural bamboo, a sustainable Earth-friendly resource, while the Feng Shui Chime employs ancient principles of creating balances of natural energies. Lastly, Woodstock Chimes reintroduces an old favorite, The Little Apple Chime. At just 8-inches long, this petite windchime retails for price of a similar scale, $4!
