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 Purse. The 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.

The ‘Soft Solution Scarf’ Is Now Part of the Save The Girls Fashion Line
A first-time female entrepreneur, Lange acted quickly to preserve her business and uses every available resource to do so, even inventing new ones. In April 2020 Lange was invited on two important television shows to discuss her Touchscreen Purses. The first was with Howie Mandel, the ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge. The next appearance for the Touchscreen Purse was on ‘The View’. A spike in on-line sales from those shows provided the capital Lange needed to expand into fashionable and functioning scarves. Being agile and courageous are important qualities for any business owner. Lange possesses both and is savvy enough to recognize a trend that will be good for her bottom line and help solve a problem for her customers. In addition, sales of the ‘Soft Solution Scarves’ will also benefit ‘Save The Girls’ designated charity, Breast Cancer Research.
Sales of the Touchscreen Purse all but stopped because of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic. Lange’s once thriving start-up’s sales of Touch Screen Purses in 2500 retail outlets were off by a whopping 95%. Lange saw a need for her stores to have a fashionable mask option. “Masks may be required.” Lange said, “But they don’t need to be uncomfortable and ugly.” The Soft Solution Scarf is made of 100% Polyester and is washable. The scarf can be worn as a fashion accessory or pulled up into a facemask, with adjustable ear stings. Once out of public the facemask quickly tucks back under the scarf hidden from view. “It is just like my Touch Screen Purse” Lange said, “Has a slight twist from what everyone else is doing.”
The ‘Soft Solution Scarf’ is now available via the Save The Girls web site, https://savethegirls.

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.

- 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 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.
