10 Reasons Rayovac Lasts As Long

Last Fall, I was honored to be invited to join the Rayovac Power Bloggers.  This has been an amazing opportunity to work with a brand my family loves.  Rayovac has been a power house for us and it has been a privilege to work with them and I look forward to the next six months. 

Here's Why Rayovac Lasts As Long and Why They Are My Go To Battery of Choice: 

1)  Rayovac Invests in Moms and Families; I've been delighted to represent Rayovac as a Power Blogger; Rayovac gives back to moms and families.

2) Powers Your Life!  My sons live on Rayovac Rechargeable batteries!

3) Offers best Coupons everyday here:  Rayovac Coupons

4) Fan Friday Rules! Rayovac offers winnings for you the Consumer

5) The best Flashlights and Lights for Outdoors and Indoors

6) Rayovac Facebook Page is fun and interactive for everyone.  Lots of prizes.

7) Low cost.  High value.

8) Less time, less money and less waste!

9) High performance with a long life. and

10)  Power Up for all of your Tech Tools and Toys!  Rayovac batteries last as long and that translates into "more pictures taken!"  Seriously, that works for me.  More pictures with each battery charge!  I'll take it because I take loves of them/daily pictures!  :)

You can follow Rayovac on FB and @Rayovac_Battery on Twitter and engage in the conversation!

What powers you up?

Rayovac Alkaline Batteries "Lasts as Long"

Rayovac Lasts as Long!

Rayovac alkaline batteries help our family and home “last as long.”  I have to say I am spoiled.  Working with Rayovac has me expecting all batteries to last as long as the Rayovac alkaline do.  

When your kids ask for the "Rayovac batteries" you know it's a great product!  Seriously, today Tiger B just asked me this morning for "Rayovac" batteries.  LOL  Really, we all love that one! 


Whenever I need to grab batteries, I go for these alkaline batteries because they last as long! 

Today, that is why I am so thrilled with Rayovac Alkaline Batteries.  Rayovac is awesome for the long lasting power!  We love to Power Up with Rayovac and we love even more the fact that they have staying power. 


"From toys and games to flashlights and smoke alarms, Rayovac Alkaline batteries power the devices that you use each and every day.

We’ve got the sizes—AAA, AA, C, D, 9V— that you need for all of your gadgets. And with a shelf life of seven years, Rayovac alkaline batteries provide long-lasting power at the value you expect."                   

  via Rayovac.com

And I couldn't agree more!  We are huge Rayovac Alkaline Battery fans and we adore the power and the "lasts as long" effect they have!  Finally, on March 29th, check out your local newspaper for a coupon to save $1 off any pack of Rayovac alkaline or hearing aid batteries.  

Here is the image of the coupon - this is only a photo of the coupon to release on March 29th.  

Remember you can get Rayovac Coupons on their Facebook page! :)

Rayovac: Rapid Response Twitter Campaign on Mashable

You know how much  I love to Power Up with Rayovac.  It is awesome to work as one of the Rayovac Power Bloggers with such a stellar brand.  And the amazing, professional and incredible Circle PR.  

Today, I am so pleased to share that Social Media Guru, Mashable announced his 5 Smart Social PR Campaigns To Learn From with Rayovac taking the lead.

Kicking off the Mashable list as No. 1 was Rayovac with their fabulously successful "Rapid-Response Twitter Campaign!"

As a Rayovac Power Blogger and as a consumer, I was honored to participate in that Twitter Campaign.  I recall the warm heart I felt as I changed my Twitter Profile to reflect the cute little boys - about my Tigers age - to reflect my participation in the campaign.

Then the virtual snow balls began to fly!  What a riot!  Throwing a snow ball at @Rayovac_Battery and Fans reminded me of my elementary school Principal getting dunked in the dunking/water chair!

Remember:


In early February 2011, with a snowstorm of historic proportions on the horizon, social media outlets were abuzz with news and updates about the weather. Rayovac and Circle PR quickly created a campaign that capitalized on the fact that millions of Americans would be home — and online — on Wednesday, February 2, the day slated to be the worst of the storm....


that


...campaign generated 1,188 click-throughs to download the profile picture widget, #rayovac made its first-ever appearance as a top-ten trending topic worldwide, and the brand saw a 30% increase in followers on@rayovac_battery.

Winter Storm? Are You Prepared? Rayovac Survival Kit

The past week we have seen some crazy weather!  Right before Blissdom, there was a big snow storm and some flights were delayed and cancelled to Nashville.  Fortunately, we were able to fly over without delay.  However, did you see that snow storm on the East Coast last week...?

Now the rest of the country is catching up with us.  We had 70 degrees this week and our family around the country could not say the same.  At all.

Check out the cities where our immediate family lives:

Chicago:  Yes, Chicago got hit really hard.  Hundreds of people where without power!  Not only lights but heat!  And did you see the cars stranded on Lake Shore Drive.  

Boulder: Did you hear - 20 degrees!  Really.  I was talking with my mother-in-love when she said, "We just broke "0" degrees!"  I could not imagine. This image says it all.  Poor student walking to class. He should get an A for braving the elements.  Um, - 20 degrees people!

Dallas/Fort Worth:  Southern as it is, Texas got a large amount of snow.  What about that Super Bowl Sunday?!  Some of the fans are having trouble getting to Dallas for the Super Bowl!  And they are all from up North where the teams are from - Pennsylvania and New York.  They did not expect snow and ice in Dallas.

Here is North Carolina - it's looking like this - with one day of 70s.  I'm just telling ya.  

However, now it is cold again and a bit rainy.  Preparing for a Winter Storm here would look like this:  Powering Up with Rayovac!  

We're kind of ready for a big storm.  Snow, skiing, sledding, and a chance to break out the great flash lights!  And rechargeable batteries and use up the extra water, food and blankets.  Light up the candles and honker down for a warm winter's night.  

Here are some of our favorites for our Winter Storm Survival Kit: 

The Rayovac Lantern, Rayovac LED Pocket Flashlight and the Mini Rayovac Lantern.  Thankful to be spoiled as a Rayovac Power Blogger, because we are all powered up.  Everyone has their own Rayovac flashlight and we are so set and ready.
