why the internet is the BFF for small business
I needed a case for my business cards a few years back so I Googled custom business card case and found in the first hit, Kyle Designs.
I bought this Frank Lloyd Wright-looking thing and use it as my wallet/business card holder... slick and lean. Made by a woman in NorCal.

Wanted a sleeve or case for my Powerbook and NO brick-n-mortar store had anything remotely sufficient.
...and I'm talking Santa Monica here, the Global Mecca for all touchy-feely professional Mac Artistes, ranking just behind the S.F. Bay area in population-density of pony-tail sporting whiny Mac addicts and perma-high techno-savvy yoga-doing Trustafarians. Here in the center of Mac-land, no luck in finding a case for mine. I Googled powerbook sleeve and found this Foof thing - a woman in Australia makes them. |  |

I just finished tweaking with some code magic so that my girlfriend's website has automatic inventory control so as not to oversell her one-off and low-volume-production jewelry.
With six billion potential customers and only a few items to go around (and the national exposure she's getting lately in print media and satellite/cable network shows), inventory control was needed. Does that sound like an Ad... a Plug? Well it is. So go check out her stuff already: molliedash |
