Hi all,
First, thanks to all of you for not only being good customers, but also great friends. Although our business continues to grow quickly, this year has been a challenging one personally. As some of you know, my wife nearly died last December and my father was seriously injured in a car acccident in April. I'm not sure what's going on - I hadn't spent the night in a hospital since I was 2 and I recently had surgery/H1N1/serious drug allergy in quick succession. And our munchkin broke her arm to boot. Hmmm. But we're alive, together, and grateful for the kind e-mails that we've received from you and more importantly happy to see this great community continue to thrive.
The reality is that Black Friday is becoming more relevant to online sales and we were mobbed this week. Our warehouse elves were a bit grumpy yesterday. But they're going to mutiny next week because to keep the momentum we have a 20% Cyber Monday discount code for
www.TridentCards.com. The discount code is
save20 and it will take 20% off your entire order. It can be used once per customer and cannot be combined with discount codes. (Honestly, you may be able to use it as early as today but it ends at midnight on Monday.) International shipping is available on
www.TridentCards.com.
We get a fair number of e-mails asking what's new in the marketplace. As you know, we never buy from "distributors" and we've worked hard to develop good relationships with the premium card manufacturers that supply us. We know there is a fair amount of change in the air, but we can't tell you about it yet. We're still considering re-releasing the Elements line under a new brand. And there are some beautiful new Copag bridge-size cards on the way. Our Dal Negro X-Ray Index cards are doing very well - proof that you grow by taking chances and not by playing musical chairs with the crowd.
Best,
