Probably due to the pandemic we have seen many new customers this year and quite good sales, even before the article came out. We have also seen quite a bump in followers of our IG and FB accounts, and lots of new registrations for the forum (by the way, contact me if you are not receiving an activation email from the forum as we are having issues with it).
The past year the focus has been on improving delivery times. So far we have been able to decrease them pretty well and maintain a faster pace than in the past, even through the last Crack sale. That was a workout! We are just focusing on the kit business these days. No more "We broke even. That's better than a lot of businesses do." side ventures like Tape Project or Nagra service. We are building inventory and revamping the kitting and packing workflow. The new space has been very helpful in streamlining the process.
With the continued level of interest in Bottlehead kits (25 years and still swingin') we don't see retiring any time soon. So we are hoping to get to where we can work a four day work week whenever possible as a form of semi-retirement. And of course carve out enough time each year to race at Bonneville. I mean, priorities, right?
