LAS VEGAS, Jan. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tatyana Designs, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Pink:TATD), a growing retailer specializing in contemporary designs inspired by the iconic Bettie Page, has achieved record sales of more than $10,000,000 in 2012. At the end of 2012 the Company owned and operated eleven Bettie Page Clothing boutiques in prime 'street' and up-scale malls across the United States along with robust wholesale and e-commerce divisions.
"We attribute our continued and growing success to a number of factors," noted Co-CEO Jan Glaser. "Our designs are gaining huge acceptance around the globe, the quality of management staffing has positively impacted boutique operations in key markets and we are seeing results from our focused social media outreach. Higher sales facilitated more efficient operation and helped us to execute better supply chain management, resulting in products reaching our outlets in record time."
Commenting on plans for the immediate future, Glaser reveals that "Following the opening of five new boutiques in 2012, Portland, Oregon will be welcoming our newest boutique this coming February. This past year marked strong growth in boutique sales, wholesale sales and e-commerce revenues and we expect sales to rise further in 2013."
