While browsing through Country Living magazine this past July (2011), TYPOGRFX creator and designer Tosha Jackson spotted an advertisement for their “Pitch Your Product” promotion. She decided right away to submit TYPOGRFX, confident that her custom-designed product would be a hit. In late September, she received notification that TYPOGRFX had been selected as a finalist, and she would have the opportunity to pitch directly to the editors of the magazine as part of the Country Living Fair in Atlanta, GA.
In October, Tosha made the fourteen-hour drive to seize her once in a lifetime opportunity. She recalls, “Part of me did think that this might be a long shot, but I know in my heart that TYPOGRFX is a unique product with great retail potential.” The panelists who listened to Tosha’s pitch agreed, and they gave great compliments to the originality and design of the product.
Tosha returned home with even greater confidence in her product and gratefulness to have had the chance to pitch TYPOGRFX to such a well-known publication. Reiterating the final note of her pitch, she says, “Life is full of happy accidents. The rest is up to you.”
