Hello world!
So, here it goes. I probably won’t be doing much blogging because who has time. I don’t even know why I am doing it, but maybe I just need an outlet to vent. I just found a packaging source (vinyl zippered hanging bags) that doesn’t require me to purchase 10,000 bags at a time, and when I got the order, they were not the size that I had ordered. Now I have to add to my list of things to do, call and get the right size of bags. I am getting ready for the JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacturer’s Association) trade show in May. I have to get all new signs, flyers, brochures, business cards, media packets, packaging, etc. printed because I changed my product name and got a new log (which I paid a graphic artist a lot of money for). I am also trying to make sure that everything that I bring fits into a suitcase so that I can just bring it on the plane.
I just sent a sample to a factory in China, and may be making the leap from getting manufacturing in the US to having it done overseas. We’ll se how the samples come back. I assume that they will be good. My last manufacturer (who I think I need to be done with) finally sent me the last of my last order. It has been 9 months since I made that order. I think that is a bit long of a lead time.
Now I need to find a good printer to do my package inserts.
On a personal note, spring break is coming up at the end of March, and it will be nice to take a whole week off from my real job. Of course I will probably still be doing work on my product. That never ends. At least I’m not making them myself because I hate sewing.
