Happy New Year to over a Million Glove Customers

Posted on by The Glove Guru


1,714,759

In September I was happy to boast about reaching the astonishing milestone of One Million page views since January 1, 2012. That benchmark was shattered with our holiday glove sales and we ended up with a remarkable 1,714,759 customer page views by December 31st.
As a reminder to those less fluent with internet analytics, page views are the conservative metric when evaluating web site analytics. The example being that if we counted actual hits, the number would be 7 to 10 times higher due to images, etc. You can see this in the chart which I added for the doubtful.  
In conclusion, I wish to thank everyone for your support and your business and I wish you the best in the New Year. 
We’ve got some exciting new gloves to talk about this year so I’ll be back in touch shortly. In the meantime, you might like to take a look at some good Winter Gloves.
Happy New Year, We Glove You at Gloves-Online.com. 

Waterproof Winter Gloves – The #1 Winter Preparedness Tool

Posted on by The Glove Guru


It’s been awhile since I’ve written a reminder about the essential winter activity gloves and this week’s winter storm became the cue.  The recent days order trends for winter gloves is another reminder.

My one – and now well known – prominent word about Winter Gloves: WATERPROOF! 

Most shoppers for real winter activity gloves fail to purchase Waterproof Gloves.  I’m referring to the winter gloves you wear during outdoor activities such as shoveling snow, sledding, and hiking. The same applies to winter construction and work gloves.

In conclusion, make sure your winter gloves are WATERPROOFor they will not be cold proof.

Introducing the DeWALT “Under the Hood” Mechanics Gloves

Posted on by The Glove Guru


Don’t let the name fool you!

The brand of these gloves, as you know, stands for high-end tools for the construction, manufacturing and woodworking industries but don’t let the name of these gloves fool you. They are great for all trades besides auto mechanics. 
I’ve personally tested these work gloves and they are designed so well they feel like a second skin and the grip that these gloves offer is unmatched by any mechanic glove I’ve tested.  They offer the best in fit, feel, and function which is my three main benchmarks for work gloves.  A bonus feature is the knuckle and back of hand protection.
I won’t bother you with the many features and benefits here since you can read about the gloves at this link:
Only a handful of authorized retailers across the country have been allocated initial production inventory and we are proud to be one of them.  
Thinking of buying your crew a Christmas present? We are also offering a special “WORK CREW” 6 Pack introductory offer.  
Happy Holidays, the Glove Guru

TouchTec Gloves – What you didn’t know about Winter Leather Touch Screen Gloves

Posted on by The Glove Guru


Many phone calls this year about cell-phone and touch screen gloves has been largely generated with questions about three new leather models we just introduced.
The simple answer: “No! You do not have to remove the gloves.” 

That’s because these new revolutionary gloves combine the new TouchTec™ nanotechnology into fine glove leathers which enable “any” finger and thumb to navigate a touch screen.

I won’t bore you with all the technical mumbo jumbo since I know it’s more important to see the gloves we are taking about this year. 
The gloves getting all the kudos are three new models by the legendary Grandoe Glove Company and we offer both men’s and woman’s models. Another kicker – NO premium upcharge!
Now you can keep your hands warm when you’re out in the cold and using your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch without taking your gloves off – it’s possible with TouchTec-enabled gloves. You can even use the mouse pad on your favorite laptop computer. Try doing that with normal gloves on.
In closing, order today before they sell out. 

Known by the company we keep – announcing DeWalt Gloves

Posted on by The Glove Guru



Today, I’m delighted to announce that Gloves-Online is now an authorized dealer of the DeWalt Glove Line. 
Most of you are already aware of the world-renown DeWalt brand of professional high-end power tools for the construction, manufacturing and woodworking industries. The good news for you and for us is that DeWalt is making a major effort to rework their current line of mechanics and work gloves. 
The other good news is that this effort is being championed by an old glove-guru friend of mine, Dan Branson. Dan was hired this past year by DeWalt to manage and develop the new glove lines and, frankly, I couldn’t be happier. I can guarantee you that you will soon see some of the best glove innovations in work gloves and I anticipate announcing them as they hit the market.
You can see our new DeWalt Gloves link and get a sneak preview of Dan’s and DeWalt’s newest glove called the DeWalt “Under the Hood” Mechanics Glove. More news on that is coming soon.

Touch Screen Gloves???

Posted on by The Glove Guru


OK!  OK! There’s no need to remind me that I just wrote about “these” gloves and cell phones gloves just 2 days ago. Let’s just say I’m a bit behind the times. I’m not saying nor would I ever say I’m behind on glove technology – I’m just behind on cell phone technology. After all, I still enjoy my clunky Blackberry keyboard. And, believe it or not, it was my very first cell-phone just two years ago. Don’t laugh – I’m just a glove guy! 
Anyway, my “young” entrepreneurial staff brought me to my senses once again. It became touch-and-go for a time (pun intended), but I’m reminded that the touch-screen interface has finally become mainstream. It seems these days, high-quality touch-screen-based interfaces have made their way into PC’s, tablets, phones, PMP’s, digital cameras, and a host of other devices. 
Actually, and after thinking about this, this was good news to my ears since we sell TOUCH SCREEN GLOVES, too. WOW, I nailed it again! But don’t forget, I am the Glove Guru. So, after 2 days, I relented and now we also have a shopping page devoted to guess what? Yep! That was an easy guess, huh? 
It’s called: TOUCH SCREEN GLOVES.  Now you can Connect in the Cold whether you use cell phone gloves or touch screen gloves! 
Anybody want to buy my Blackberry? I’ll be happy to throw in a “new” pair of cell phone gloves!

Your Cell Phone Gloves Source and Headquarters

Posted on by The Glove Guru


A year ago today I mentioned our record sales of cell phone gloves and one year later things haven’t changed. This past weekend we surpassed last year’s sales already. I’m not surprised since we expanded our cell phone glove choices to over 23 models and styles – not including all of the sizes and color options. 
In fact, we even have a special shopping page dedicated to Cell-Phone Gloves. This page makes it easier to narrow your choices down from all of our winter glove offerings and includes all of the men’s, women’s, and girl’s models ranging from fashion leathers to colorful knits. 
When shopping for cell-phone gloves you need to know that there are two types. One type has removable finger tips and thumb tops and the newer types are touch-screen versions. With either type you don’t have to remove your gloves in the cold weather to use your cell phone or tablets. 
We also offer a handy Gift Certificate option for those picky persons on your holiday shopping list. This way they can pick the model they prefer and you don’t have to guess on the size or color either. 
Although we are probably the largest source for cell-phone gloves, I wouldn’t delay. They will sell out fast since they make ideal gifts and stocking stuffers. 
Happy Holidays, The Glove Guru

Children’s Gloves make great gifts

Posted on by The Glove Guru


It’s rare that I mention children’s gloves and I’m not sure why since they have represented a large share of our business for many years. As a matter of fact, I’ve even developed and made some models for other companies. It’s a hand protection segment often overlooked by the big glove companies but kids need and like gloves, too. 
The obvious thought that comes to mind is protection from the cold during the winter months. I remember that well when I was a kid and gloves were as important as a good pair of boots and my mother was always right to make sure I was equipped with a good pair of gloves. After all, they were vital for snowball wars! 
Many don’t think about it, but we offer children’s gloves for every imaginable need. Examples are: church functions, school plays, white gloves, cotillion functions, bell choirs, work gloves helping dad and mom, winter sports, and even parade gloves. 
If you’re curious or need some children’s gloves you can go to this link to see our entire lineup. 
By the way, they make great stocking stuffers, too!
