Words

We may stray fairly far afield, but we promise to come back to mostly industry news, shop talk, grab bag and (since everybody’s got one) opinion.

Celebrating Independence

Independence Day seems as good as any other to take as a four day weekend so we’ll be effectively closed this Friday and not reopening until Tuesday.

Go outside and play. And / or blow something up.*

A Heartfelt Thanks

This post is a bit more personal than most. And while I try to keep a firm check on crossing the streams as it were, I need to say thank you to both the people I work with and our clients.

I’ve had time to think on this for a good bit. The biggest question that seems to come up is if we’d swim upstream again. The money decision would have been go for easy and lucrative. Client wants a new logo? Yes ma’am. Would you like that in Papyrus or Comic Sans with a chrome bezel? Check please.

Year of the Hustler

Martyrdom ism’t going to work. We must become hustlers. There’s a wealth of charlatans out there.

Shop Closing

Thanks to all the new and old customers who bought cards from us this holiday season. We had pretty good sales for a first ever shot at retail with no more advertising than word of mouth, Twitter and Facebook.

Things were good enough for us to plan on doing it again next year, with even more designs.

Happy Holidays

We’ll cut right to it: The Shop is open. We’ve got all three cards and the variety pack ready to roll. Quantities are limited, operators aren’t standing by, but we’ll take your orders online.

Presses Are Rolling

Digging out here at S2HQ. Figured I should update things a bit. The Holiday cards are at press. And we’ve got boxes of envelopes in hand from the fine folks at French Paper Company.

Robbery

Thieves suck. And fingerprinting powder gets everywhere. There’s really no way around it.

‘Tis the Season

So here we are. In a few short weeks normally, kind, gentle souls will be twisted into post-tryptophan overdose savages. Clawing at one another over Black Friday Bargains. Ah. The Holidays. How about some cards to remember them by?
