My suggestion would be to skip on the progress postcards, and instead come up with some cool online postcard format instead. This will help you in your enviro efforts by reducing paper use, and fuel emmisions from transporting postcards. If you are going to put time and $ into printed materials, you should consider a nice color flier to hand out to prospective customers at events where you are showing off your bikes. Check out Pinball Publishing for enviro friendly printing. Many busineses budget 3-5% of their gross sales on marketing, but since you have a big back log of orders that might be a bit much. Just my 2 cents. I keep seeing your bikes around town and they look great! Keep up the good work!

Seriously. Rock. Also - Sweetpea Jam is a lovely, lovely jam. Yes it is, darn tootin'. I rocked a jam sandwich on my ride after work yesterday and smiled while Sal cleaned the delicious purple from my cheek. Thank you! VERY cool. Seriously. Rock.
