HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2015 /
The One World Doll Project, a subsidiary of One World Holdings,
Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OWOO), announced today it has partnered with High
Tide Consulting, an eCommerce and retail consulting firm, to manage
the company's current relationship with Walmart and to expand the
retail distribution of The Prettie Girls! product line.
Said Dana Fletcher, National Account Manager for High Tide
Consulting: "I've worked in the Toy industry for several years and
as a former toy buyer at Walmart this is a product that gets me
really excited. I know exactly what retail toy buyers are looking
for and it is very rare to find all of those things in one brand
but that is what I see in The One World Doll Project. The Prettie
Girls! are high quality, have fantastic underlying design, send a
wonderful message to children and are truly authentic. We are
excited that Walmart has taken an industry leading position in
expanding the distribution of this product across the country and
we are pleased Ms. Melton selected us to be the lead in managing
One World's Walmart relationship."
"One of the ways we have always been able to successfully manage
our big box customer business is to bring in the right people for
the job," said Joanne Melton, CEO of One World Holdings. "Once we
got to know the team at High Tide we knew they were the perfect fit
for us. With many years of Walmart and major retail buying
experience we could not have asked for a better group of people to
partner with," she added.
