Smashing Pennies

No real post today, as I have been celebrating the start of 29 years of being married.

Went to a venue open house.

Guess, I know what I will be doing this week. Putting together a parts list, and getting prices, just in case stuff breaks again.

First advertisement I have done in years, was in the TECNews today. To join, go to https://tecnews.org

Motivation quote, this helped me a bit, as my day today was very chaotic.

How do people feel about pre-orders? I tried it before, and made enough to have the product made and cover shipping.

Been trying to stay motivated, couldn't decide which one I liked better.

Read this today and thought it was interesting.

Blue velvet, black velvet, green felt are what I am looking at for redoing my table display. Which do you think would look better or should I keep looking?

Working on two new products, that we would like to offer. These products involve Jeeps, laser engravers, ammo cans and Geocaching. Need to finish crunching numbers, before I can do too much more.

This is my current table display, the background was fancy wrapping paper I had and liked. I want to redo it, I have felt, velvet and several other fabrics I can use. Just not sure what would look professional, at the same time as having a wedding vibe. Sorry the picture isn't better, I don't always take the best pictures.

Had a customer inquire about our custom coins. They asked if we had a cancelation policy, I said Yes, explained what it was and why. They promptly said, they couldn't work with me, because of my $150.00 cancelation fee. Then said they would let others know not to use me. I do get it, money is tight, but most if not all wedding vendors have one.

Just redid my website, want to put up a interactive map, that shows customers where we have sent orders. I don't have much of a budget, which companies have free to reasonably priced heatmaps? If I can't find one, I will just order a map off Amazon.

While trying to figure out content to post today, I ran across this video made by Silver Dragon. We started our business with a machine that looks just like this, we use it for our in person weddings. youtu.be/YxpdJjctNBU?...
