Well well, all my loyal fake tan aficionados! What a month November has been! We've had so many new customers trying out Famous Dave's Tanner this month the competition must be quaking in their boots! I guess good news spreads fast, and with the party season now in full swing you clearly want to be looking your very best at that all important christmas party!
Today is also Mega Monday according to the national press - supposedly the busiest online shopping day of the year - and it's certainly been living up to its name! With everyone receiving their pay packets today and hitting the web to indulge in presents for themselves and their friends things have been non-stop at Famous Dave HQ all day today!! So much so we're having to work late, but we don't mind! :)
The self tan back applicators have as good as sold out over the launch weekend and we're busy trying to restock quickly to keep them available on the site! They make a great present, so no wonder they've proved so popular - you can check them out here if you don't yet have one - click here
Our Tanning Mousse Multibuy deal has also been really popular today, well it's a great way of getting a tanning mousse for yourself and then saving a few pound on one as a present too! Click here to get your Tanning Mousse Combo Deal

The New Self Tan Back Applicator is Launched
In our last newsletter I asked all our customers to send in any ideas they had for new products they'd like to see us selling, and one that kept coming up was an applicator for applying self tan to the 'hard to reach' areas of your back. So we went to work, and I'm pleased to announce that today we have launched the Self Tan Back Applicator!
It's superb too! I couldn't believe how easy it was to get right at those bits in the centre of my back that I can't reach no matter what crazy pose I throw. Apparently only 20% of the worlds population can actually reach all of their back, so how do the rest of us manage? I guess most of us simply ask a friend or partner to help out applying lotion to the bits of the back you can't reach yourself, but with this new back applicator you really can do it yourself!
Since we launched it this morning via our newsletter, they've been selling like hotcakes! I guess a lot of you are buying them as stocking fillers now we're in the run up to christmas, and at £7.99 (our current special offer price) they're an affordable gift for someone special, or just a nice treat for yourself. Check them out by clicking here

Debenhams Spring/Summer Press Show
We were kindly invited to the Debenhams Spring/Summer 2010 Press Preview Show yesterday in London, and wow what an event is was!
They were showcasing all their designers latest styles due in-store in early 2010, and as one of the brands being featured, we were given a guided tour by Debenhams lovely PR Manager who showed us all around the amazing venue purposefully staged for the event across a whole floor of an elegant, grand old building in Central London (actually part of their head office behind oxford street!)
After seeing all the new lines on offer from a selection of well-known designers, we arrived at the beauty room, which seemed to be the busiest area of the whole event! Lots of editors, journalists, photographers from all the top magazines turning up throughout the day to see all the latest must-have brands for 2010 Debenhams were showcasing. I'm also very pleased to say that our products were being showcased at the Press Show for all the beauty editors to see & try. On display there was the full range of Famous Dave Self Tanning products, and the lucky editors visiting on the day also got to take home a goody bag full of leading cosmetic brands and beauty products (including a Famous Dave's Tanning Mousse) for them to try out and report back on.
The beauty area of the show commanded a lot of attention - its eye-catching layout and demonstrations of the various products taking place by the girls over the course of the day really drew people towards it, and I've heard back that our self tanning products went down extremely well with the press, which is always great to hear!
The event itself was staged beautifully - lots of interesting people mulling around the venue, champagne and canapes being served throughout the rooms - the perfect press show!

If you're in Northern Ireland then why not try out Le Studio Bronze for a Famous Dave Self Tan? Le Studio Bronze can be found in Belfast, just view our stockists map for exact details; and since opening they've seen an excellent demand for Famous Dave Tanning products. Keep your eye out for the latest edition of 'In' Magazine, it's a local fashion mag in Belfast, Famous Dave's Tanner is appearing on their Christmas Wish List!

Our first blog!
Well, this is our first blog. Never really understood the whole blogging thing, but having used Twitter for quite a while i'm getting frustrated at only having 160 or so characters to say whatever it is I'm trying to get across!
So the purpose of this blog will be to help everyone with application tips for our fake tan range, keeping everyone up to date with special offers that we run from time to time, and basically letting everyone know what's happening and coming up in the world of Famous Dave!
We're off to a Debenhams Press Show soon, which should be really good - we get to meet a lot of magazine/newspaper editors, and the best part is that we're being featured in the show itself. So we're hoping plenty of editors will be getting their hands on our products ready for next season!
That's all for now, no doubt there will be more soon.
