The Slanket - Brilliant
The Skanket craze is sweeping the nation, well a few of us love them anyway.
It is basically a blanket with sleeves, meaning you can work or drink tea without getting cold arms.
Unfortunately you have to pay $51 postage to get it to the UK, so I am teaming up with some of the greatest minds in affiliate marketing (Matt, Chris, Jess, Cat, Michelle) to buy the UK franchise.
Brilliant!!!
Nothing to do with Affiliate Marketing really, unless you work from home, in which case it would be brilliant, and cheaper than running the heating all day.

Ha, it’s really all about the selk bag: http://www.lazyboneuk.com/store/pro750.html

that is blasphemy Kier!!!!
All hail the Slanket!!

The lazybone is just one big body suit.
The Slanket is not only a blanket, but part of the uniform of a Jedi. How much cooler can you get?

Correction:
The “selk bag” is just one big body suit. So in theory, you’re wearing a bag!
The Slanket is not only a blanket, but part of the uniform of a Jedi. How much cooler can you get?

If you buy one thing this year, make it the Slanket…Lets get it to England and support such a masterpiece

TheSlanker pre-empted my post - the chocolate brown Slanket doth indeed resemble the garments of a Jedi Master.

Please see below an email conversation I have been having with the mighty Gary Clegg.

Gary,
First off, Love the slanket, keep up the good work.
One massive problem, us cold brits cant buy one without a $51 shipping charge.
Are you planning on expanding, or do you fancy giving me the UK selling rights?
Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob,
We are expanding. I am working with someone right now to set up the EU
distribution center. It is not 100% so if something happens, I will let you know.
Thanks for the feedback Rob.
Do you have any experience in the field?

Gary, you legend.
Unfortunately i don’t have any experience in the field of blanket sales, although i am a fan of blankets, i use them when i am cold, i keep them in the cupboard under the stairs, when i was a baby i was constantly wrapped in a blanket, though none of them as good as the slanket obviously.
I do on the the other hand run a successful online marketing company, so if you need help with the online marketing, I would love to get involved.
I also write a mildly popular blog, I have posted about the slankets virtues, let me know when you launch in the UK and I will help you promote.

Thanks for the kind words.
I will be in touch for some marketing needs perhaps, when we launch.
Have a great day,

Sorry Rob your information is out of date.
Bad news for Slanket fans is that the air freight shipment which was to have arrived this week has been cancelled as the goods are already in a container in their way here, the container is due to dock UK 17th October and deliveries will start about the 20th.
