Where we are going, where we have been

Where we are going, where we have been It’s been, without question, an exciting few months here at SSC HQ. We wrapped up the Kickstarter campaign and have been beside ourselves with all the pictures and support we’ve gotten from people who’ve recieved their rewards. Since sending out those rewards, we’ve been busy coordinating delivery of our Supply Kits with partner organizations.

Hello friends:   Just wanted to update all of you on the status of Story Supply Co. Things are happening, and they’re happening fast. Last week we finalized all the manufacturing details and put a small order in for our launch product, the “Pocket Staple” notebook. We’ll be sharing this little guy with reviewers and others we hope will help us spread the word like many of you already have been doing. The Pocket Staple will also be the reward if you referred at least 10 people to the email signup. Which reminds me. The referral campaign is only going...

Wow! Let us start by saying you are amazing. We’re only a week into the prelaunch campaign and you've already done more than we could ask for.  You've liked us on Facebook, mentioned and retweeted us on Twitter, and you’ve tumbled with us on Tumblr. The signups from your referrals just keep coming too. Thank you so much. In this first week we’ve connected with many people who have an interest in the future of Story Supply Co. We’ve also received support from some great folks who are making high quality, craft goods right here in the U.S.A. For example, check out these cool Twist Bullet Pencils Jon...
