Yes, we are open! I am considering the idea of a life-sized cheer up. It’s a cutout of your loved one, someone you can’t be with due to isolation policies. We’d sell them at our cost only. We can help people have a silly, sweet cutout, and keep our own people employed, thus everyone wins. This keeps 5 designers, 2 printers, a CNC operator or 2, and a shipping department busy. Nick is a star designer, and the work he did transplanting the heads from a large corporate staff onto athlete’s bodies was both fun and super well received. Why not turn our people loose on making people smile. We’d sell the desktop version for $37, and the life sized version for $53, including shipping. We’d lose a $5 or $6 bucks shipping to the West Coast, possibly break even closer. If design times get too expensive, we can raise the price a buck or two to cover it. I can pretend the credit card fees don’t exist, and see if we can create a few hundred or even a few thousand smiles.
If anyone out there has an even better idea, please email. We want to do our part. The only constraint we have is we have to keep the package size to around 48” x 29”. Cutouts fold up, so that helps, but it costs more than $30 to ship something 48” x 30 to 36””. We wouldn’t be able to keep the price low if the cutout gets too big.
