HSN's Joy Mangano Makes Electronic Retail History with Record-Breaking Orders of Forever Fragrant(TM)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- HSN, a leading multichannel retailer, and successful inventor and entrepreneur Joy Mangano made history once again on January 31, 2010 by selling 180,000 units of her home fragrance product, Forever Fragrant^™ in one day.  With this latest achievement, Mangano surpasses her previously held record by more than fifty percent, which she earned for selling sets of her Huggable Hangers. This year marks Joy Mangano's 10th Anniversary with HSN.

Regarding her latest achievement Joy Mangano says, "I am thrilled by the overwhelmingly positive response to Forever Fragrant^™.  I believe in the product, but didn't know just how many people would be as excited about it as I am. HSN, once again, has been the perfect platform to allow me to enter the homes of 93 million Americans and share with them such a remarkable new household item."

"Joy epitomizes the creative, entrepreneurial spirit that thrives here at HSN and we couldn't be happier about her latest accomplishment, especially as it coincides with her tenth anniversary," states Lynne Ronon, HSN's EVP of Merchandising.  "Her ability to take practical home solutions to the next level is unmatched.  She has an innate talent for creating products that people need and want to have in their homes."

The Forever Fragrant^™ Collection was introduced in July 2009 and has revolutionized the home fragrance/ odor elimination category.  Derived from plant sources and wood pulp, Forever Fragrant^™ is a natural polymer made into beautiful sticks and discs. They are designed to effectively eliminate air odors while providing a pleasant yet subtle and consistent aroma.  The inherent breathability of the plastic releases its fragrance and odor neutralizers slowly and evenly for a light scent that lasts up to two years without being replaced. Forever Fragrant^™ sticks are designed for use in any number of rooms in the home, including the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

Joy introduced six new scents to the collection during her January 31, 2010 appearance including: Blackberry Grape (deep purple), Coconut Colada (golden yellow), Country Home (red), Couture Powder (pink), Eucalyptus Desert (dark green), and Lavender Fields (lavender).  Fresh Linen (white) and Vanilla Amber (amber), two of the original best-selling scents, were also reintroduced.  Each Forever Fragrant set includes two glass vases, 64 scented sticks, and is accompanied by two scented discs that can be used to freshen and remove odors from handbags, gym bags, luggage, drawers, closets and even shoes.
