Keep fighting the good fight, Peter and my best to you and your family. It's been a few years since we've had the opportunity to catch up and I always value our time spent together.
Our strengths as artisans can also be construed by some as a weakness. In this day of "click to add to shopping cart", we're all accustomed to instant gratification. Amazon Prime ... want it in 24 hours? Click here.
And yet, the reason why people gravitate to the Soundsmiths, Schroeders, Galibiers and the like, is exactly because of a desire to go well beyond the "shopping cart experience".
Since I manufacture on a smaller scale than you do, it's simpler for me to involve my customers in the creative process of their new Galibier - to keep them informed of the progress of their new baby. The challenges of education the customer are similar, but I have the benefit of doing it at a smaller volume level
Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier Design
