Moosejaw Drops Back to School Catalog, “No Pants”
Posted on August 4th, 2009 No commentsOh Great. It’s Fall Again.
Our Fall / Back to School Catalog started arriving in the mail to customers on Monday and the response so far has been great.
The theme this time around is about people only buying half an outfit in times of economic recession, so the entire catalog is shot without pants. For reals.
You can check out the digital version here.
Mentions on Twitter:

Moosejaw Madness a Key Component in the Mobile Conversation
Posted on May 29th, 2009 No commentsMobile Insider featured Moosejaw’s new smartphone optimized mobile site in a recent blog post entitled, “Why So Serious?”
The post makes a good point that the mobile channel is as much about distraction (if not more) than it is about situation-critical information. We agree completely and make it a priority to provide as rich as possible madness experience on our mobile site.
On a related note, a conversation on Twitter this morning highlighted Moosejaw’s continued approach to blurring the lines between marketing / commerce channels to leverage the best features of each across channels:
BrightstepCEO Anyone got a good mobile commerce case to update me on? Or, know of any retailer using mobile to sell more?
tzadow @BrightstepCEO searching for a good example, too. Retailers have to realize that just copying their web business model will not fit m-com.
Brightstep is a multi-channel ecommerce consulting company based in Sweden. From what I gather from bits and pieces on Twitter, Moosejaw was featured in a presentation on multi-channel strategy at Stora e-Handelsdagen, an e-commerce event in Stockholm.
This is a decent example of the value of being active on Twitter. Before hearing about the event we were close to naming a conference room at Moosejaw the “Stora Handelsdagen Steel Cage Match Room.” How embarrassing would that have been?
They call us cheeky, which is better than being called flippant but not as good as being called frisky.Love the Madness,

Creative DirectorIf you re-arrange the letters ‘Stora e-Handelsdagen’ you get ‘A Hen Led Rodent’s Saga’ which explains why I know little to nothing about soup.

Moosejaw Hockey Extends Winning Streak to 3
Posted on May 29th, 2009 1 comment
Moosejaw steamrolled the Silver Mullets in last night’s 6:00pm matchup, winning 8-1.The big story came halfway through the 2nd period when #10 Zakk B. scored an unassisted goal, ending a 6 game scoring drought.
Our record for the season is 4-1-2. Our next game is Thursday, June 4th at 8:30 pm against the Stinky Pinkies.
Love the Madness,

DefenseOh this young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country’s refusal to accept him, well, I guess that’s more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe.

This Week At Moosejaw
Posted on May 28th, 2009 No commentsMoosejaw had a nice little BBQ in the courtyard for employees who may have missed our holiday party. Here’s the gallery.
Great feedback continues to roll in from shop customers:
“Just wanted to let you know that I had a great time yesterday at Moosejaw [Grosse Pointe]. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, I appreciated how patient they were with my “not-so-patient” 3-year-old. ”
- Lindsay H.
“I just recently purchased a pair of Reef flip flops at your Ann Arbor store. Let me tell you why this was spiffy:#1: They are sparkly flip flops…silver on black
#2: They were on sale! 20% off!
#3: The staff at that store absolutely rock. I had my sister and her friend with me. Neither had been to a Moosejaw as they do not live near one (alas). They left the store smiling, though they did not buy anything. Why? Because the staff there are friendly, super helpful and obviously love where they work. I applaud any organization that can consistently keep their staff in a legitimate good mood…no easy task in Michigan right now.Anyway, thanks for the positive shopping experience, and sparkly flip flops; they made my day!”
-Erin M.“Great experience and professionalism [Moosejaw East Lansing]. I loved the way you can wander around without anybody “pressing” you, but they are right there if you need something. The variety and quality are perfect.”
-Sent to feedback@moosejaw.com“Was at the Chicago store picking up my new sandals, loved it. First time I have been in there since the remodel and its very nice. Sandal selection was better than it was at the same time last year too.”
-Sent to feedback@moosejaw.comKeep up the great work.
