Tornado Foos

Check out our article comparing all the Tornado foosball tables. There are other quality brands out there, like Carrom, Shelti, and Garlando, but if you're able to drop the coin for the biggest and best, Tornado is what you'll probably get.

bills and paperwork

That's the last time I'm paying the Waste Management bill by mail.
I had trouble setting up on their online system, so gave up and have been mailing bill for several months. No more. what a waste of time, stamp money, and saliva. click click or call. Bills can become that easy. and if someone would create a uniform language like they talk about as "semantic web", we could see all our expenses in life very clearly and summarized in unlimited ways. likely the collecting companies do not want it to become easier - a planned revenue stream is in Fees.




On another note SHIPPING COSTS are through the roof. Probably everything you use is experiencing a 25+% increase in costs to deliver, because gas costs more than we had thought in all but the worst scenarios.

new gen turnaround

Building, testing, and delivering a photo booth to an island off the coast of New England within a fourteen day timespan is an impressive feat, if I do say so myself. Getting the New Generation is a good idea because it is compact, at 400 lbs portable with less effort than other booths, yet it still lets users get "in" it. Prints out two strips with four poses, the traditional photo booth experience. This one being delivered just in time for a wedding - its first event just two days after arriving on the island.


Inside scoop : New Generation Photo Booth prices going up in July.

photo booth detail

Simple Kid kicks it today as the musical selection. average man. what are you looking for?

I'm looking for fact sheets about photo booths and bam they came today in the mail.

Graphic seletions, artist styles, 4-way sticker output and options to choose from.
Power source requirements - all 110v or 220v 15 amp dedicated circuits.
Gigabyte processor vti-matrix composite dye sub or ink laser heat printing.

Quotes. film. The prices for the pieces you need and what is included is a complicated part of almost every purchase. I wish they would change that. We should package game room products as easy-to-understand as possible.

So that's what we try to do here - Take complicated info from game equipment manufacturers and make it easy for you to understand.

memorial

Although the streets were empty Monday, the phones here were at a normal pace. Memorial Day means everybody has the day off, except in retail. Consumers are out in full force.

Hard hard hard to admit when there was a problem that you overlooked. Our contact form worked fine every time I tested it, and we would even occasionally receive a message from a visitor. However we had our programmer look into it, make the Comments a required field, and while editing he made some other change that is too technical for me. Now we get several contact forms each day. Were we missing out on them all along? No, impossible, I refuse to believe it! ;-) It must take two months for the right type of visitor to learn about us.

The phones ring in waves. Quiet for hours, then everyone calls in at once. Answer customers' questions in a flurry, then get work done when it's quiet.

fill up

I sent this pic to my friends back in 1988, and even though they didn't have email back then, they responded.

" Wow you guys must have flying cars that get 130 miles per gallon, and minimum wage makes a person $240,000 per year."
Gas affecting shipping costs in a big way, and customers feeling the heat. A Great American air hockey table weight 475 lbs costs just under $1-per-pound to send across the country.

quiet busy quiet

Fridays are the quietest, but last Friday was our first day of having every available phone line lit up.


So much I would tell you, but somehow the course of a day goes by and I am left here with a string of notes, and no consistent blog topic.
Every day I try to embrace the idea of playing games and then writing about them. Instead I wind up analyzing and adjusting our online marketing. Talking with customers is no problem, in fact it's fun because usually people are in a positive mood when they're considering buying a fun product. Fixing shipping problems stinks. Messing with computer code or working with programmers is typically not my favorite either. How great is the day when I can sell an air hockey table, then turn around to play foosball until the phone rings again.
