April has been a crazy month here at my little one-person business, which means promotion fell through the cracks.
I try to run a sale on something every month, to give you a reason to drop by my Playful Math Store. And I’m supposed to post blogs and social media about the discount, so nobody misses saving money on something they’ve been waiting for.
This month’s sale was a hefty 20% off every bit of mathy merchandise in the store. Cool T-shirts, fun mugs, handy totebags, and more!
My plan was to offer a big discount before all the tariffs kick in and mess up my pricing, since even items that are produced in the US often use components from overseas, which makes me expect prices to rise over the coming months.
Best Laid Plans, as They Say…
BUT April was also my month to finalize formatting on the Math Adventure Journal logbooks and get those ready to print for Kickstarter backers. And smack in the middle of that job, I discovered that one of the big tech companies had decided to quit supporting my old publishing program. Without bothering to notify those of us who used it.
So I’ve been running around like crazy trying to put together the books in a new-to-me program. Huge learning curve.
And so I forgot to tell you about the sale.
Sale Prices Extended
To make it up, I’m going to extend the sale deadline a couple of weeks, until May 15th, to give everyone time to shop.
Now is a great time to display your mathy spirit for everyone to see. And our merch makes great gifts, too!
Did You Miss the Kickstarter?
The kind people at Kickstarter have given us the option to take late pledges, so you can still order your Math Adventure Journals (and all their related merchandise) for the next few weeks.
I’ll keep the late pledges open until I get the final proofs in. Then I’ll have to stop taking orders so I can ship your books.
Even with the delays due to the technical troubles mentioned above, everyone should get their journals in plenty of time for the fall back-to-school season.
