What would you love to build out of FrogBoxES? Everyone has heard of the ice hotel in Sweeden. Why not a FrogBox hotel? Our neighborhood has an anual back yard camping night on the Canada Day long weekend. Next year I am camping in style…in a FrogBox hotel.
When did you start to hate cardboard? When it got soggy & smelly from my last move in the rain. Yuck!!!
What's the craziest use of a FrogBox you've seen? I lent some FrogBoxES to my neighbor for a recent renovation so they could pack up the contents of a room while they replaced the floors. They had an extra box, so their infant son was playing in it (green is his favorite colour). When it was bath time, he wouldn't get out of the FrogBox he loved it so much. He put up such a fuss that they decided to leave him in the box and gave him his bath right in the FrogBox.
How did you first hear about FrogBox? Why did you choose to partner with FrogBox? I first heard about FrogBox when Doug pitched the Dragons on Dragons' Den in early 2011. I knew as soon as he started his pitch it was a winner and was not surprised at the outcome. I was so inspired by the message I commented to my wife “What a fantastic idea, I have to contact these guys and get involved with this company somehow”. A couple months later, I became a partner. I am super excited to be a part of not only a great service oriented company, but a green company too.
