Hey, Gail!

What did you decide about offering frit samplers?

What did you decide about offering frit samplers?
I want to do it, just can't make up my mind or find the time or energy to DO it! Then, of course,there is the fact that I'll never be able to decide which frits get included....sigh...I want to go back to sleep!!!--Gail

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on it. I have no idea how you have things set up, so don't know if this would be a big pain in the patoot...could you offer a set of 6 (or whatever) frit samples and let the buyer choose the colors they want to try?

Actually, the only way this could be feasible is to have a "fixed" assortment that I could make in advance (i.e., filling a bunch of bags of each of six colors all at the same time). Using an assembly-line process is the only economical use of my time.

It winds up being very time consuming to "fill on demand"...If I did it that way, I wouldn't be able to discount it...And I can't afford to have SO much frit on hand to prefill sample bags with all the colors, and then just pluck them from a box, as needed (my other thought)...If I did that, I wouldn't have enough to fill normal orders. Sigh...did I say I want to go back to bed?...

Yep, that sounds like a major PITA, so nevermind. :-)

I think I've figured out the best plan...I'm currently working on 6 new blends...I have 4 that I like so far. When they are ready, I'll offer those as a sample pack, and I'll do the same in the future for new blends...YAY, a plan!!!!

Thanks for all of your input Chris!!!--Gail
