It’s always chaos starting a new year as an online retailer. The rush during the build up to Christmas is instantly followed by a dip in activity on the site. This is generally the time of year we, like so many other retailers, run a massive sale to help everyone out. We know money is tight after Christmas and we have to thank you all for the epic response to our 50p badge sale. We had so many orders placed during the sale and we have only just caught up with processing all of your orders.
2013 promises to be another busy year for us at koolbadges. We have a few weddings to attend which is a,way exciting, not to mention our trip to San Francisco. It’s nearly 7 years since we last went. What’s more its the city that gave us the idea to start making badges in the first places, so without San Francisco there may have been no Koolbadges. Lets hope that this trip gets the creative juices flowing again and who knows, we may come back with another great idea for all you lovely people.
We are also considering making some improvements in the workshop, from new printers to new & bigger badge machines. Plans are in place but don’t worry, we aren’t automating the process, badges will always be hand made.
We are also gearing up for valentines day & St Patrick’s day. They are always very busy periods in the workshop so hopefully we can get the jump on orders this year. Don’t forget to order with plenty of time, we always do our best to rush out orders, especially themed orders, but it helps us out no end if you place your order in plenty of time.
