It's Kind Of Quiet

Here at Innovatium it's been rather quiet.

We pushed and pushed really hard all summer long to get the new company off the ground and get the first product, the Hold-it! Game Card Organizer into production.

After the tremendous roller coaster rides of the Summer and Fall, it seems so quiet now. We are shipping orders as they come in. There was a flurry of backorder to fulfill, which was done very quickly. Then there was a flurry of activity to update advertising and promotions, which was also done very quickly. Now, there is just not much more pushing to do.

Yes, we are keeping our few ads alive. But since the Hold-it! Game Card Organizer came to market rather late for the 2005 season, we are simply doing the best we can.

So, we're taking advantage of this quiet time to reflect, plan, plan and plan.

Some of the things we're planning are:

• Conventions for 2006: Origins, GenCon, Der Spiel (in Essen, Germany)
• New Products to enter into R & D.
  
• Investors. Oh, how lovely to find some more wonderful folks who believe in us and what we're doing.

Without a doubt, some of the best work is the New Product development. There are quite literally over a dozen products on the drawing board for evaluation and planning. We would like to bring one, perhaps, two, new products out in 2006 for sale in 2007.

Wow, that looks like a long time away. However, having lived this year experiencing every minute as real and as raw as can be, I now know it will soon be upon us.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a Joyous New Year!
