    Buy Something…This Holiday Season Is The Time to Support All Female Owned Businesses

    The best way to show encouragement of supporting female owned businesses is to buy something from a business owned by a woman. Tami Lange, Save The Girls owner and founder, who is a first-time entrepreneur, has weathered the challenges of the global pandemic by finding outlets to sell products.  Without those sales, she would have closed. She knows the importance of each purchase, so while the prescription of ‘buy something’ may sound overly simple it is the thing that so many businesses need now more than ever.

    Advice for women business owners to support each other are well intentioned but not always as helpful as they might be. Suggestions like work with other women entrepreneurs to create a positive environment, sponsor a women’s conference, or attend a workshop are fine during normal times. But in a stretch when business revenue is down, people need to make a more meaningful and concrete impact and the best way is to make a purchase.  “Lots of women have very unique challenges to their business,” Lange said. “Whether it’s enough internet bandwidth while working from home, child and/or elder care, or schools closed,the female in the business world has a steep hill to climb. Buying something from a business that is owned by a woman will help relieve a little financial stress so she can weather the other storms in her life.”

    Lange is a one-woman testament to the power of flexibility, improvisation and the courage to act when things are going badly. Lange invented a touchscreen purse for women to store and operate their smart phones without having to remove them from the purse. Duringthe global outbreak her business shrank by more than 95%. The retail outlets where the clever, fashionable and useful purses were sold were all closed. No one would have found fault with her had she just quit. But anyone who thought that Tami Lange would walk away from her once thriving enterprise had another thing coming.

    Lange quickly found new opportunities and available channels to market and promote the Touch Screen PurseThe accessible conduit to new customers was online sales and television the avenue for promotion. Her web site could accommodate more sales without any major change. Television features with ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge, Howie Mandel, followed by another on ‘The View’ provided enough revenue for her initiative to remain viable. She sold over 14,000 of her touchscreen purses right after a feature on ‘Good Morning America’ (GMA). The sales from these televised features drove enough commerce for Lange to not only stay in business but expand to other lines for women that were as attractive as they were needed and useful.

    She added full facial scarves, face shields, and bucket hats to help provide protection from airborne hazards and make a positive fashion statement. All are available via the Save The Girls web site, https://savethegirls.com/ and at many of the retail outlets where Save The Girls Touchscreen Purses are sold.

    Keep Cell Phones Cleaner After You Clean Them

    There is plenty of advice on cleaning cell phones lately, but how can the threat of phone borne infections be further prevented? By putting a barrier between the cell phone, the user and all those surfaces teaming with infectious agents. It is possible to do so, and in a fashionable way.

    he Coronavirus/Covid 19 virus outbreak now places an emphasis on cleanliness, especially for anything that comes close or in direct contact with eyes, noses or mouths. Cell phones touch all three every time a user answers or makes a call. Even after cell phones are cleaned, they will pick up more contamination unless a layer of protection is added. The Save The Girls Touchscreen Purse’ provides such a barrier and does it with style.

    Tami Lange, an entrepreneur, invented a solution for cell phones with the ‘Save The GirlsTouchscreen Purse.’ The purse allows users to have full function of their cell phones while it is safely stored inside Lange’s stylish invention. The user will keep their cell phones off of restroom counters, sinks, toilets, floors, and anywhere that germs and viruses congregate. Lange’s purses were brought to market late in 2017 and already sold over $4.2 million.

    The advent of the global Coronavirus/Covid 19 pandemic now inspires people, who want to do as much as they can to remain healthy and contain the spread, to clean everything in their homes, vehicles and offices with renewed vigor and that includes their cell phones. The screens on cell phones are a gross, septic stew of germs, viruses and even fecal matter.

    Bacteria and Cell Phones

    According to State Food Safety (an online food safety and certification site) there are 25,127 bacteria per square inch on the average cell phone. Compare that number to the following:

    • Toilet seat: 1,201 bacteria per square inch
    • Kitchen counter: 1,736 bacteria per square inch
    • Pet food dish: 2,110 bacteria per square inch
    • Checkout screen: 4,500 bacteria per square inch
    • Doorknob: 8,643 bacteria per square inch

    “The cell phone has three times more germs on it than a doorknob and nearly 20 times more than even a toilet seat,” Lange said. “I can’t imagine putting my face next to a doorknob, never mind the toilet.” Save the Girls Touch Screen Purses can be found is some 2,500 retail locations throughout the USA.  To find the nearest store visit www.savethegirls.com.

    The Save The Girls Origin Story

    With two of her daughters ruining their phones (one lost on a trail and the second from accidentally throwing it in the wash) and then seeing her sister in law with breast cancer, pulling her phone from her bra, Lange decided to find a solution. She came up with a touch screen purse where women can text, talk, scroll social media, all while the phone is secure in a stylish purse. The idea for the SaveThe Girls Touchscreen Purse’ was born.
