WE BROKE EVEN!!!!

[c_alexander]

I wanted to let everyone know that I have broke even on the ribbons today..woo hoo.  I can't thank you all enough for the support. I was not able to order the 500 I had wanted too this time, but I hope that the ribbons will catch on and I will have to order a second or thrid run. We've got a little over 70 ribbons sold....only 180 or so left...haha.

FYI, I am not usually a big gambler. We I goto the riverboat casino here in Indiana I always play the change machine....put a dollar in get a dollar out....woo hoo breaking even..hehe

The ever so humble,

I ordered 3 ribbons.  I'm sure once people see them, it'll catch on quick and pick up on the momentum from there.

Glad to hear you broke even. This will catch on. Sometimes it takes the right person finding your site.

I ordered four the other day. Super broke, like most NCP's but what a great way to pass the word...

Once I receive them, I am making cards with your site address, keeping them in my truck, so if someone requests, I will have it "in hand."

Naw I really wanted to post this news and tell all you guys that I personally think it is awesome we broke even in a litlle under 2 weeks. All things considered this is awesome news. I can't thank you all enough for your support and I can assure you that you will all be VERY happy with the finished product.
Initially I had thought this might be a temporary thing, but more and mroe I am thinking that perhaps this site will be up for some time. I agree witht he fact that I expect once the first orders go out and people see them that sales will increase. In ANY case i am very proud that I could at the very least get these ribbosn out there and help to make people aware of our plight.

You guys are the best!

Sincerely,
Chris

The card idea is pretty good. I found a place onlinethat offers FREE 250 business cards you only pay $4.95 for shipping and handling. I thought about have some printed...you think I should?

[MYSONSDAD]

You can make your own for pennies. Just copy and paste the picture of the ribbon and then include the website url. You should get about 20-30 cards on one sheet. Use something like greeting paper stock. Does not have to be fancy.

I just want to keep some on hand.

can I order the ribbons next week????

As for business cards you can buy the pre cut ones and print em out on your computer.

YOu can still order ribbons and should be able to for at least the next month.

Good idea about the crds, only problem I have is I got an ink printer. to print off 250 of those bad boys I'd go broke in ink. Already my color has been out for almost a year....stupid blue ran out..=(

Maybe I'll run a sheet of them, then have the others "copied" at like office depot or something. I dunno...still very good idea.

LOL if you print off one sheet only on your printer then go to the copy store and use your business card paper and copy them.

Also when printing to save ink you can use the lower quality of print.
