Fortunately, we had set everything up so that our print run could be expanded really easily without overwhelming the printer because we were working with a commercial grade printer. It was just a fact of being like, well, we're not going to need 100 copies. We're going to need 15,000 copies.

So they were like, yeah, we can. Yeah, a little bit on the logistics side, there were a few cautious emails sent out asking if things could still be expanded in size more than projected. And everyone I was working with on the logistics side was able to accommodate an increase of that magnitude, which was such a blessing.

Because if not, we would have had to rework our whole logistics chain entirely, and that would have been scary. Yeah.

Right, right. Yeah. So thankfully, you know, going up in volume brings each unit down in cost. So that helped kind of offset the uncertainties, you know, like we're handling.

Right, right. Yeah. So thankfully, you know, going up in volume brings each unit down in cost. So that helped kind of offset the uncertainties, you know, like we're handling.

When you make a little mistake at that volume, it turns into a huge thing down the line. So having those things kind of evening out, ultimately we had enough of a buffer to account for the various mistakes that did happen that could be solved with money. So that was a blessing too.

Right? Did you guys experience this where you're like, there's no way we could have predicted this mistake. It's just going to be a money sink type thing?

Right? Did you guys experience this where you're like, there's no way we could have predicted this mistake. It's just going to be a money sink type thing?

Yeah. Yeah. There's just, there, there's always going to be something that you can't predict, I think, or at least, you know, it would have been difficult to foresee. So that's, I think that, I don't know, building that uncertainty into your budget a little bit can be helpful, although who could have predicted the 2020? Yeah, there was a pandemic and lockdown. Yeah, that one no one saw coming.

add two or three months to it just because I'm usually you'll end up doing it on that time just because stuff happens oh my gosh Jess I wish I had that advice earlier I wish I'd had that because that's exactly just about the amount of time we needed to extend certain things was like three to four months past what I had initially guessed so that's that's a very insightful piece of advice right there

I was going to move.

I really like it.
