Today we clarified something with our order rep Nicole at USPCC (United States Playing Card Company). Sometimes when placing custom orders there is a miscommunication between the customer and the rep. Our issue was that Nicole kept sending us a proof that used images that were outdated and not properly sized. Today after a few emails and a phone call we got everything straightened out, the resulting cards are gonna look awesome and we are really excited to almost be able to announce our fundraiser. We wrote a press release back in December when our project wasn't fully fleshed out. At that time we were thinking of selling prints instead of just decks of cards. We were also looking for sponsors and thinking of partnering with a local store front. Since then, we have focused our project to include only playing cards which was really a result of our relationship with Nicole and USPCC. In addition, since then we created a cool animation with cut paper and wanted to mention that in the release. Check out the video here. Lastly, something we have been trying to do for a while is update our website so that payment can be taken directly. In the past we've used third party sites like red bubble. The problem is they take a huge hunk of the profits meaning less money can be given to the charity. This time we will sell on our own site with Paypal only taking a very small percentage of every sale. This is the first time we've sold something through our own site, so it's a little tricky figuring out coupon codes, shipping prices, etc. In the end the result will be more money for our very worthy cause OBP. Check out our store at our website page.
