Mom entrepreneur, recently relocated near Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, Jennifer Locke is celebrating her 2nd anniversary with helping picnic goers, sports fans, corporations, and families that are on the go stay dry and warm this holiday season and throughout the year with the Innovative Zip-n-go Blanket™. A stylish waterproof picnic blanket that folds, zips, and becomes its own tote bag!
The idea of the Zip-n-go Blanket™ was created after what was supposed to be an enjoyable day at the beach with her infant son 4 years ago, but ended a few minutes later after their small beach towel came in contact with the cold wet sand and her son wouldn't stop crying. After that day, she wanted to find a quality waterproof outdoor blanket that would be conveniently portable for a busy on the go lifestyle.
When she couldn't find what she was looking for, she wanted to see if she could try to create the perfect waterproof picnic blanket. With the help of her mom, she spent the next year searching for the best materials and designing prototypes. With the launch of her company, Alpha Omega Goods, Inc. in 2007, the Zip-n-go Blanket™ was her final creation. A high quality portable picnic blanket manufactured in the USA, made with anti-pill velour fleece, waterproof coated oxford nylon, and YKK® Zippers. A trendy online community for moms, http://www.mommieswithstyle.com, said it best about the Zip-n-go Blanket™, "No more fussing with carrying a blanket that unravels as you walk or keeping track of a separate carrying case or strap. This blanket really has it all! You simply, fold, zip and go! It’s really that easy!"
Now 2 years after the launch of their website, Zip-n-go Blanket™ has sold thousands of blankets and has even been featured in such magazines as REAL SIMPLE and Yoga Journal. This blanket tote can also be embroidered on the front pocket, making it an excellent personalized gift this holiday season. The blankets are even a big hit with corporations who are looking for a new unique gift for their customers or employees. She has worked with companies such as KEEN Footwear (who chose an Eco-Friendly Fleece made with 100% recycled bottles) and Fazoli's to customize fleece colors and logos. "Customers and companies love the concept of a high quality stadium blanket tote that comes in a variety of colors and prints, is made in the USA, and can be embroidered with a family name or corporate logo right on the front pocket. I am so glad I can offer a useful product to people that can be used for years to come and be able to support USA Manufacturing at the same time," says Locke.
