It's been a mighty long time since we blogged at Windmill Works, and, as any "Good Business Practices"
manual will tell you (if there were one), procrastinating on blog writing is
not a good thing.
But it's not because we're lazy. We've been really, really busy - once again.
1.
For starters, we finally completed our update of our company's unique, exclusive
deck of cards,
Presidential Solitaire. Originally produced in the '90's, yikes, the deck included Presidents
Coolidge to Clinton. In order to update the 300 some decks we kept in storage after President Clinton left office,
we needed to add cards for President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. Since Solitaire is played
with 13 cards, we eliminated President Coolidge and President Coolidge. The new game now starts with President Franklin
D. Roosevelt through President Obama. We thought this would be a nice supplement to our online game of "Obama Solitaire"
and a tangible product that people could keep. Perhaps one day it might even be collectible since only about 350
of these decks of cards are in circulation. If you have a website or a retail store and are interested in carrying this
product, we offer wholesale pricing per dozen ordered. Just email us at comments@windmillworks.com
2. We have decided to offer our customers products other than our own creation and therefore, set up an affiliate
site with amazon.com. That means if you see a product that you like from Amazon, click and end up purchasing it, we
receive a small commission. It's been fun to find a myriad of offerings at Amazon that complement some of our
games and CD's. It was especially fun picking out products to feature on our "
Irish Facts and Fun Page." We added Irish T-shirts, Irish mugs, and even some little Irish ducks! We don't know why either!
Those are only two of the activities that have kept us from the blog. We'll write more news soon about
our other renovations and changes. I promise.
Cheers,
Billie
