A note from our office manager, Travis, in response to our amazing turn out this past weekend for our 2-day sample sale:

Hello Friends!
The sample sale was unbelievable this past weekend!

We sold over 2,000 items (including t-shirts and hoodies) which means 2,000+ children will receive shoes from our efforts! A BIG thanks to the Interns and Vagabonds that worked the sale and helped get our office ready. There were hundreds of people who turned up for the sale; even a queue out the door for a majority of each day. Our Online Marketing team did an amazing job of getting the word out and creating a buzz about the sale – based on a survey of 68 people conducted during the sale, well over half of them (40) heard about it from either Facebook, Twitter or blogs! Also, a special thanks to those of you who stayed late on Friday night to unpack a fresh batch of samples for the Saturday portion of the sale! (I feel like this is the Grammy’s or something… so many people to thank! ha)

What a fantastic example of our staff rallying together to pull off a great event.

Again, THANK YOU!

We couldn’t be more excited that as a result of this sale, 2,000 more individuals will be out wearing their TOMS everyday, sharing the story, helping us to scale this One for One movement, and in turn provide more shoes to children in need. If you made it out this weekend, we want to know what shoes you bought, what shoes you were hoping to buy, and how you heard about it! Send us photos of you in your new kicks!
