ABOUT US
Deborah Anastos |
My name is Deborah Anastos and I am the proud owner of Designs by Deb, LLC, a successful graphic and website design company established in 2001 in River Edge, New Jersey. In 2011, I relocated to Ormond Beach, Florida and have created two exciting new GREEN products called Sand Blocker and Grease Blocker.
My favorite thing about working with Sand Blocker is introducing it to someone for the first time. We’ve developed a demonstration to allow people to experience the product firsthand. We allow the consumer to connect with the product on a personal level. We spray their hands with water, and then let them play in the sand as if they were at the beach. Then we simply apply some Sand Blocker to their hands and have them close their eyes and pretend they’re at the kitchen sink using soap. As soon as they rub their hands together and the sand begins to fall off, simultaneously, their eyes and mouth open wide in amazement. They are pleased to discover that Sand Blocker works as well as we say it does. The biggest challenge has been educating people about the product. It’s not just a matter of selling Sand Blocker, but teaching them what the product is, how well it works and how safe it is for their families and the environment. The good news is that once they use it, they won’t want to go to the beach without it. My proudest moment with Sand Blocker came in a letter from the mom of an autistic child. She explained that since her son could not tolerate the sand, she has been unable to enjoy the beach for years. She heard about my product and tried it. She wrote to tell me that she and her son were able to spend the day at the beach "sand free". She thanked me for giving her back the beach and for the opportunity to share it with her son, and it touched my heart. |

My name is Shirley O'Brien and I am a seasoned professional in the fashion industry. I have joined the Sand Blocker Team as partner, bringing my marketing and sales specialty with a total love and belief in this product. As a fitness enthusiast, believer of holistic well being and true lover of the beach, I bring my experience in the fashion industry into this new venture with the wholehearted belief in the value of this product.
I am the proud mother of three amazing children. A 22 year old daughter in showroom sales, a 19 year old son who is a marine biology major and a 17 year old daughter who is a student/athlete. All are lifeguards who use Sand Blocker all summer long. I feel great knowing that my children are using a safe product. And as a rescue pet foster, I can truly appreciate a product that does no animal testing. As an avid runner both on and off the beach, I can not live with out Sand Blocker! The fact that Sand Blocker is non- toxic, environmentally friendly and never tested on animals is just the icing in the cake. The fact is this product works! I use Sand Blocker all summer long, as do my children. I'm so excited to get Sand Blocker out in the marketplace so that everyone can enjoy their beach experience so much more. And let's not forget those Tri-Athletes that transition from water to bike to running. No more talc to contend with. This is the perfect accessory to your pack! I can't wait to introduce you to the pure joy of Sand Blocker. You will never go to the beach again without it. |
