We celebrated several milestones this week. The first "live" order (to a friend, at lunch, but that still counts, right?) and our first internet order! Woo hoo! We are growing in Twitter and Facebook followers, too. Most exciting is the fact that we now have Facebook fans who we don't personally know. The Facebook "insights" page shows that we have several hundred people who saw our posts or comments on our posts, and tens of thousands of potential eyeballs who are friends of our fans. This is all very exciting, and add to that the fact that our credit card processing system is back up and running again. Phew! What a week.
Random musings about all things Jewish and of course the latest news about our Passover Bingo game, which we designed to help people learn about and have more fun during Passover 2014 and beyond! Our cool Jewish board game keeps kids (and adults) engaged during the Passover Seder. Bright-colored cards match words in the Hagaddah. Makes a great hostess gift!

Creating a Passover Game. . .
Creating a new game has been quite a learning experience. I thought it
would be simple: design the game, find a manufacturer, order, and
sell. Oh, but there are so many intermediate steps! Customs. Two
different web guys (one who helped out of the goodness of his heart; the
other to whom we paid a pretty penny). Payment gateways. Customs
brokers. Logistics centers. Warehouse and fulfillment centers -- the
first one tried to screw us in so many ways! But, it was all worth it
when we went to the warehouse the other day and saw the pallets of
gleaming Passover Bingo games sitting there, ready to get into the hot
hands of people who want to be ready for the holiday. Absolutely
thrilled with the quality, and with the fulfillment center we eventually
ended up with, who loves small businesses. Hoping that the sales go
quickly and smoothly so we can order another batch before Passover 2013!
