Hello all!

I realize I haven't posted a journal in quite a while. Been dealing with a lot in my personal life and business life as well. I'm trying to make some big improvements to the business for 2015, and wanted to highlight what we're working on for this year:

Fixing the issue of being almost constantly out of stock of popular fabrics.

This has been a constant issue as the business has been growing and I've been working to address it. It's been very difficult to keep up with the growth. I've been working hard on securing some external funding that will allow us to carry more inventory and hopefully have less of this continuing problem. I think we're getting close, and hopefully we'll be able to better keep up with stock levels in the coming months.

Offering premade fursuit parts (claws, eyes, noses, etc) again

We're working on fine-tuning our 3D printer and laser cutter so that we can start offering parts again. We haven't sold these in quite some time. As soon as we can get all of this stuff working, we'll be offering 3D printed noses, claws, and more, as well as laser-cut toony eye blanks and potentially even fursuit-sized dog tags and laser-engraved badges.

Now, for potentially the most important thing...Bringing new styles of solid-color furs to the fandom.

Right now everybody is stuck more or less using DF shag, which is something I know a lot of people want to see change. This is something I've been wanting to do for quite some time - we've already done it a couple of times (with all of your help, of course), but I think it would be great to have not just one new color, but a BUNCH of new fabrics made up. Sadly, the funding we're looking at getting won't do much more than allow us to stock more of our current lineup. This is where the kickstarter/indiegogo campaign comes in. I've drawn up a rough draft of what this would look like. We'd either try to have made several new colors of Luxury Fox or several new colors of Flokati Shag, depending on what you guys are most interested in. They would all be natural colors (black, white, gray, silver, brown, camel, caramel, ivory) since these are our best-sellers in the standard DF shag. We'd have a number of perk levels ranging from a simple $1 donation to one roll of each color of the new furs, and each level would come with some fun goodies besides just the fur :)

Is this something you all would be interested in, and if so, would you rather see us make a bunch of colors for

or
Flokati Shag?: http://fursuitsupplies.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=35_53&product_id=286

These are the main things we're working on right now, but lots more changes are coming this year. Hope to make 2015 the best year yet!
