Two local women from Fairfield County, CT recently entered into a new chapter of business and entrepreneurship. Given these uncertain times, Linda Schoff and Amy Luett, two mothers and former financial professionals, decided to expand upon an idea that represents the positive spirit of men and women faced with challenging decisions in their lives.
Since late February, these two women have created designs for women’s, men’s and childrens apparel, including tee shirts, tank tops, and even men’s stimulus package boxers. All of the designs feature either the “Tufitout” logo design or the “fist pump,” which the two founders agreed upon as a symbol for the company and of the hard times that have fallen upon all of us.
Another aspect of their business is custom designing for parties and special events like weddings and bar-mitzvah’s. There is a link on their website (http://www.tufitout.com) for “Custom Apparel,” which the two founders agree to be a very valuable part of Tufitout’s broader reach. “If a family in Florida or California for example needs custom kid’s tee’s designed for their event, we want them to be able to go to our website and easily place an order,” says Schoff.
Both Schoff and Luett are excited about new business opportunities and they are no strangers when it comes to the business world. Both women have worked for more than twenty years in either equity options, commodities trading, or telecommunications, depending upon what point in their respective careers you are referring to. Schoff is originally from Westchester County, NY, and Luett spent nearly half of her life growing up in the Midwest. Both women are married with children and live in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
Tufitout = Tough it Out!
