One World Doll Project Partners with Former Walmart Toy Buyers to Expand and Manage Retail Relationships

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2015 / The One World Doll Project, a subsidiary of One World Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OWOO), announced today it has partnered with High Tide Consulting, an eCommerce and retail consulting firm, to manage the company’s current relationship with Walmart and to expand the retail distribution of The Prettie Girls! product line.

Said Dana Fletcher, National Account Manager for High Tide Consulting: “I’ve worked in the Toy industry for several years and as a former toy buyer at Walmart this is a product that gets me really excited. I know exactly what retail toy buyers are looking for and it is very rare to find all of those things in one brand but that is what I see in The One World Doll Project. The Prettie Girls! are high quality, have fantastic underlying design, send a wonderful message to children and are truly authentic. We are excited that Walmart has taken an industry leading position in expanding the distribution of this product across the country and we are pleased Ms. Melton selected us to be the lead in managing One World’s Walmart relationship.”

“One of the ways we have always been able to successfully manage our big box customer business is to bring in the right people for the job,” said Joanne Melton, CEO of One World Holdings. “Once we got to know the team at High Tide we knew they were the perfect fit for us. With many years of Walmart and major retail buying experience we could not have asked for a better group of people to partner with,” she added.
