Mid-afternoon I had someone stop by and tell me about someone else selling an over-sized Jenga like game much like what I’m selling a few rows over at a lower price. Out of curiousity I had to wonder over and see what the gentleman was talking about: it’s true, we have a competitor. I can’t really say I’m surprised. After all, cutting 2x4s into shorter 2x4s isn’t rocket science.
That said, I don’t really think the competitor’s product offers the same level of craftsmenship as what I’m selling. Nor does it come with the storage base that is what really makes my product stand out from the rest. Imitation is the sincirest form of flatery: at least that’s what I remember someone telling me at some point. I’m not entirely sure if that’s true or not, but I welcome the compitition either way.
Meanwhile, back in the shop, Timber Toys is currently hard at work building the orders we recieved over the past two week. It’s been a very busy week, but that’s a good thing. With the holidy weekend coming, it’s bound to be another busy few weeks ahead of us.
Have a great Fourth of July. We look forward to seeing you at the flea market this weekend. We’ll be at Rogers on Friday and Hartville on Saturday and Monday.
