William H. Emery
Mr. Emery is the President of Better Sleep, Inc. of Branchburg,
NJ. Better Sleep is a leading designer and supplier of Shower Caddies, Bath Mats
and other Bathroom Accessories. I have never been on television nor have I ever been
published in the Wall Street Journal, featured on the cover Forbes or made the Fortune
500. I have never been elected to any political office [local or national] and I have never
met the President of the United States. I have also never broken 80 on the golf course
to tell you the truth I only broke 90 once! So now that we have gotten what I have not
done out of the way we can go on to what I have done. Which is simply build a successful
business that sells products that you probably have in your own bathroom? If not I expect
anyone reading this to go out right now and buy a Better Bath shower caddy or bath mat!!
I am not going to drone on about the history of the company and how I got to be the
"Shower Caddy King"; but I will say that my brother and I have worked as hard as any body
to get Better Sleep / Better Bath noticed at stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens n
Things, Wal-Mart, Kmart and MarMaxx [TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods]. Our philosophy is
simple; develop and design products that people actually want to buy! I want people to look
at our products and think two things; first I want them to notice how well made it is and
second I want them picturing exactly how and where they are going to use their new shower
caddy or bath mat.
