Uncle Pooter's February Newsletter


Howdy Happy Pooter people and a Happy February to you!

First of all, we want to thank you all for your business here in the U.S, and around the world, wherever you are!  We have updated our current map HERE  .

As 2013 is coming around, we're making some changes too!  Uncle Pooter's Headlight Sauce is growing, we have relocated, sales are up,  and that means some changes.

Not drastically, just a nip & a tuck here & there.

Uncle Pooter's 3-oz Jug
First off, our little 3-oz jug which has been with us from the beginning.  For those of you who may have ordered this, we want to thank you, because it is going away.  We are sad to announce this, as it has and always will be the iconography of Uncle Pooter's.  
However, over time, this little jug has declined in sales, it has become extremely expensive to purchase and time-consuming to produce.
It is also made of a heavier plastic which adds weight to our shipping costs.
This is unnecessary as our product isn't heated.
We have a very narrow variety of volumes which hinders its sales also.
(2.5-oz, 3-oz & 4-oz)  Not much of a difference.

As you may or may not know, the U.S.P.S. has increased its rates in late January.  This, in combination with all that other stuff up there, means its the last straw--our poor ol' jug has to go.
we have very few left so once they're gone, they're gone.  (Except for 1 that ol' Uncle Pooter is gonna put on a shelf.)

This isn't the end of the world, or scaling back.  In fact, it allows us and you an opportunity!

Uncle Pooter's 4-oz Bottle
With the exile of our 3-oz, we are going to be introducing a replacement.  A NEW 8-oz Bottle which looks just like our 4-oz bottle!
This will allow not only a wider variety of volumes to choose from, but also keep the look & feel of Uncle Pooters Headlight Sauce, which most folks tend to lean toward.
Look for it later this month!

Don't fret! We still have our 2.5-oz "Li'l Reds"

As I mentioned earlier, the Post Office has increased its rates.  This means more changes by us in order to keep our prices low, for you!

Old-style shipping boxes
Although we love sending out our product in boxes, it also adds weight.  This, in turn costs more to ship.  With the rise in Postage Rates, we looked for an alternative and are going to bubble-mailers, which are lighter, cost less, and use less materials.  

We have also tweaked our labels just a bit
We're adding a Pink Tag
Our FIRST order in Alaska!  Yup-- I think ol Pooter can do an Artic Cat too!
We've listed our sales on Blujay which has very low listing fees.  We hope for a few visitors soon!

We hope you'll pass us on to a friend, as word of mouth is getting us out there!

We're pretty proud of our eBay Feedback which is slowly climbing!  

Once again, we want to thank you for your business and we hope to see you or a friend soon!

Have a great Valentine's Day, but maybe don't give a bottle of Pooter's to your honey as a Valentine's Day gift.  --might start divorce proceedin's!

Happy February & like us on Facebook!  Give us a +1 on G+!  Be safe & God bless!
