@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file : @Tim Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file : @Tim When we get 3, the price drops from $60 to $53. So that’s good.

@Tim commented on @Franicia’s file : @Franicia Yeah, that's good. Can you ask if there's a cheaper shipping option? FedEx is usually pretty expensive.

@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file : @Tim I sent to emails to ask for a new price quote for three cases. Then I asked if there was a cheaper shipping option.

@Franicia I’m thinking that we could have the package delivered either to 120 Chiefs Way Suite 1 Pensacola, FL 32507 ($5 charge) or our mail forwarding service address then pick the items up ourselves. I know that the 120 Chiefs Way address is considered a commercial address. I need to find out about Childers St.

@Tim I just placed the order for the 12" paint paddles by phone. She called me back. I’ll add more details here later. She’ll be sending the order confirmation number by email. It should be shipped by tomorrow. It has a 4 day transit time from Maine to Florida. We did save money using a business address instead of a residential one. | Updated: $224.90 ($159.00 at $53 each since it was discounted at 3 cases from $60) and shipping charges at $65.90. So we saved a total of around $41(-$5) or $36 with this order. 🙂

@Tim The outer boxes arrived from Amazon. They were accidentally delivered to our neighbor’s house as well.

@Tim I got an email and the paint sticks/paddles should arrive on Monday by the end of the day.

@Tim Our Vistaprint cards arrived for the paint sticks and they look good.

@Tim I’m finally done making the Edgeway USA insert cards. Yay!

@Franicia commented on @Franicia’s file https://whitefamily.slack.com/files/U02BY23UR/FA09NC5V5/insert_card__vistaprint__5d677c_back_3.pdf: @Tim It should take me a few seconds to fix these to the bleed.

@Tim I ordered our insert cards. There was a huge discount before and after even with adding color to the back. $46.45 (for both this and Princess Paper Press’ insert cards and so split the payment between the two). 🙂 Order Number: H3ZFM-Q4A20-2S2 | Estimated Delivery Date is April 4 or 6

@Tim The paint sticks should have arrived at the mail center yesterday. Do you know if they have? 🙂

@Tim The paint sticks arrived at Fedex today and they called. There are three boxes there and they close at 6 today. 🙂

@Tim The Vistaprint insert card is here and it looks good. I think have everything we need to ship out the paint sticks products except for the boxes and packing paper to pack them in.

@Tim After Abraham finished his school work, he came upstairs to see if I needed help. He made the rest of the white boxes for the paint sticks. Then him and the boys made groups of twenty-five and now Abraham is packing them in.

@Tim I sent Patti a message about the paint paddles. “… We recently ordered three cases of gallon paint paddles. Is it typical to find about 100 pieces in 3,000 to be bent, chipped, or defective a bit? Also, can you guide us as to the liquids these can be used to mix with like paint, resin, etc.?”

@Tim When you’re done with the SB activity book, I could really use your help with the product page for the paint sticks. There’s so much to do and that I’ve already done. I’ll take any help you can give.

@Tim “Brochure holder stand” was vetted. She said, “It looks great! Estimated monthly search volume on Scope is is 24,000 - not super high, but OK. I’m going to estimate you’ll need about 30 Reviews before you have consistent sales. Estimated monthly sales - $2,000-$5,000 a month (on the high end) once you have the Reviews. So, not a huge seller, but steady and consistent. Full disclosure, I think you will find getting 30 Reviews to be pretty challenging. For newbies, I strongly recommend picking products with as less reviews as possible I would rather you do $500 a month in sales, with a product that has 10 Reviews , then struggle with a product w / more Reviews

@Tim I really want to give “packing paper” a shot even if maybe it’s not recommended for a newbie. It is a 5 home run and we would only test it. I found a US manufacturer and I think we can be competitive. The paper I found is thick and good for packing so people don’t have to double up. It comes with free shipping and so we’re not guessing how much it costs. There are a ton of sales with this item. The montly search is very high too at 215,300. Moving season is also here and I think many people move throughout the year. 🙂 http://www.prattplus.com/browse/packaging/cushioning/void-fill/30-newsprint-nps182450

@Tim Since our paint sticks just arrived, I’m looking at the listing. I changed the price from $20 to $22.95 right now. I might change it again.

@Tim When do you want me to start making an ad campaign for the paint sticks?

@Tim Did we document anywhere when our paint sticks arrived at the professional photo studio?

@Tim I started ads yesterday morning using my small understanding of the inch-up method and only bidding 10 cents. The ads probably started running by noon yesterday. It excites me to see sales picking up again. Here you can see $59.91 in sales for 3 units of paint sticks. One of those might still be in someone’s cart, but at least customers ordered the other two for sure!

FC processing ones.

@Tim Should I place the second order of paint sticks using our business credit card? I also asked on Trello.
