It's a busy month - June. Lots of summer crews are off to the races at the beginning of July and on the west coast, people are heading to Portland for racing this month. For them, it means training. For me, it means bustin' the hours in the workshop getting everyone's gear out on time. Just got a large format heat press and let me tell you that a 1200lb crate doesn't move easily on a gravel driveway. But it's in the shop now thanks to Pat and Doug. Now I'm waiting for my dye printer to get out of Customs in Calgary (why Calgary??). So once both units are up and running, it's time to play with artwork and stretchy material. FUN. You know, in between working on all the orders. With those two items, I should be able to print just about anything into white fabric. So complex designs and custom colours will be much easier to deal with.
The ecommerce site seems to be working well. It's a quick learning curve - sorting out how to add all the products and also sort through in the incoming orders. Still have a ways to go for all the products but the main thing right now is working on posting for all the teams who want their gear online.
Anyway - back to unisuits and dragon boat shorts with the soothing background of CBC podcasts. Or sci-fi and anime movies. Whichever.
Oh one more thing - last week there was a really good CBC radio piece on groupons gone wrong and why they can be a disaster for small businesses. See if you can find it - it's worth listening to.
