Win a Dymo Labelmaker!

I've been helping people organize their lives for nine years now. Whew, the time does fly! Because I firmly believe what Bob Vila says, that "Having the right tool is half the job", I'm always on the lookout for great products and services to recommend to my clients, readers and radio show listeners.

In light of this, (and thanks to some excellent advice by my friend Dr. Amie Ragan of one of my favorite blogs, Psychology of Clutter), I've decided to create a weekly product feature/review here on my blog. But here's my challenge...

I want it to be something fun but I'm feeling stumped about what to call it.

I suppose I could just call it Monica's Product Review but HO-Freakin'-HUM that's soooo dull. So I'm calling on you to come up with the best name you can think of for my product and service review feature and if it's the one I end up liking best and ultimately using, I'll send you a brand new Dymo labelmaker and a tape to go with it. Please submit your ideas By July 31st, either here in the comments section or via email to me at Monica(at)CatalystOrganizing(d0tcom).  Thanks in advance and I can't wait to hear what you come up with!

"Ricci's Roundup" - Your Weekly Source for Product Reviews and Testimonies.

"Life-wares Weekly" - Products Reviews Centered on Simplicity and Organization.

[Monica Ricci]

Amber and Sam, thanks for submitting your suggestions! I will wait until the end of July and compile all the names and make my decision then. Thanks again for playing!

[Alexis]

Hope these don't rhyme too much:

Ricci's Recommendations
Ricci's Ratings
Ricci's Raves
Ricci Reasoning

[Melinda]

I don't have a suggestion, but I just LOVE my labelmaker. I just used it this morning to identify the VHS movies that have lost their sleeves. I do recommend the plastic labels for things that will be washed, but the paper labels for things like videos and books. A really great feature is that you can interchange the label cartridges.

[Monica Ricci]

Alexis and Melinda, thanks for your comments. Melinda, you obviously use your labelmaker and love it. They are very handy little tools!

My submission: "Does Right by Ricci"

[Jacki Hollywood Brown]

Catalyst: a substance that accelerates the rate of a reaction, that is itself not consumed by the overall reaction.

Thus, since your organizing tools, accelerate the organizing process....(and too cool your business is Catalyst Organizing Solutions)

Call these products: Monica's Catalysts!

[Dr. Amie Ragan]

Oh, I vote for Jacki's submission.

[Cynthia Friedlob, The Thoughtful Consumer]

You could hit it right on the head with:

Ricci's Resources
or
Ricci's Resources Review

Straightforward is not necessarily dull; sometimes it's just very clear!

[Monica Ricci]

Amie, Jacki, and Cynthia,
Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

[Leslie BRuce]

Monica's Vital Items

[Monica Ricci]

Thanks Leslie for playing!

[Chrissy]

Just found your site today and I'll definitely be adding you to my blogroll.

Here's my idea:
The tools.(or best tools,favorite tools,etc.)
Reviewed.

Figured it would go with your blog title.

Hello Monica. How about... Type "O" Tools! The "O" is for organized and represents a personality type (like Type A). We were thinking of using it ourselves but havent been able to find the time to set up another site. Our ebay store (The 4 Eleven Project) keeps us busy enough. The store helps to raise funds and awareness for a Non-Profit ministry to youth (Boys Farm, Inc.) and we sell labels for the entire line of Dymo LetraTag Labelmakers. As a reward for the name (should you choose it) we would be thrilled if you would mention/link to our site if any of your subscribers need labels for their label printers or a new labelmaker to help get organized. We are also available to discuss a different arrangement if you see the value in doing something more. Thank You in advance for your consideration. May God bless your efforts and increase your influence to the organizationally challenged among us.

Mike and Terry,

The 4 Eleven Project

[Monica Ricci]

Chrissy, Mike and Terry,
Thanks for your comments and suggestions! Mike and Terry, should I choose your submission, I will surely link to your site! In fact, I'll go ahead and link to it anyway. :)

Hello Monica! Here are two suggestions for your product review, both in keeping with your mantra of simplicity:

1.) "The Right Tools" - self explanatory & straight to the point. A twist would be "The Right Stuff" provided the phrase is not copyrighted by Hollywood astronauts :)

2.) "Half The Job" - As in, having the right tool is! I think everyone can agree that attaining, and more importantly maintaining, an organized existence takes some effort... but seeking clever gadgets and tools to help doesn't have to mean re-creating the wheel. Thus you've done 'half the job' in researching helpful items so that your clients and readers can save valuable time that would otherwise be spent on product trial & error, and get/stay organized.

[Tanya Zingleman]

Hi Monica, OK, this is like a brain teaser that I can't get off my mind - kind of like a song you can't quite remember the words to so you keep replaying it over & over in your head to try to get it right! It's an addictive puzzle! LOL. Here are a few more ideas:

Catalyst Choice
Cat's Eye Spotlight
Launchpad Limelight
Advantage Assets
Great Gear
Effective Edge
On Ricci's Radar
Monica's Merit

OK, now I really must go do something more productive! Can't wait to hear your final choice -- Have a great week! Tanya Zingleman

[Monica Ricci]

WOW Tanya, you must really love that labeler! Ha ha... those are some good submissions! I will be choosing in early August just before I begin the reviews, so I'll be sure to let you know!
~Monica

[Attila]

Monica's Torrids

[Monica Ricci]

Attila, thanks for your submission. I have to say that I've never heard the word 'torrid' used as a noun. Do you know something I don't?
:)
Thanks!
~Monica

[Tanna]

I like the post from Tanya, Catalyst Choice, but since you are trying to brand your name more than Catalyst Organizing I would change it to Monica's Choice. I have a labeler and I consider this to be a revision of Tanya's so if you pick this one she should get the labeler.

If you are looking to pick a certain day to do your weekly reviews I'm sure your readers could find some catchy title to go with the day of the week.

[Dr. Amie Ragan]

"Monica's OK or No Way." Then the picture that goes with the review is either you smiling giving an "ok" sign or you have a big frown on your face.

[Monica Ricci]

Tanna and Amie, THANKS for the submissions! I'm not sure how I'm gonna decide on this!
~Monica

[Cassie]

I've also thought of a couple:

* RicciPicks (you can TM this of course... lol)
* Revelation: Organization (as a revelation is: The act of revealing, disclosing, or discovering to others what was before unknown to them; I thought it was particularly fitting)

[Monica Ricci]

Cassie, thanks for your submission! It's July 31st so today is the final day to submit. Now comes the hard part -- picking the winner!

Hi,

This is my 11th hour submission...

"Listen Up!"

I got to thinking that you needed something that grabbed readers attention by challenging them with the true reason they "buy stuff". A reason to truly help ORGANIZE a lifestyle vs. CLUTTERING a lifestyle.

Reviewing products that strike a balance between the best value along with the best function is paramount.

What's a better way of getting someone's attention than by saying:

"Listen Up!"

That's all, put a fork in me - I'm done!
