hi all,

Thanks for the kind words about the products! And even for the not so kind one thanks for taking the time to comment!

Alpha Frog,

you are right that was not the right place to post, I apologize for that. Also I do not have a lot of post but I have been a lurker the past year and have read alot of post!

As far as what the items are made out of here it goes.

The emblems design were hand carved out of clay by me and then were sent out to be mass produced with the beads. The beads are mardi gras style plastic beads and the emblems are made out of a hard composite material. Each emblem is hand painted!

The greek tag was also carved out of clay and sent to be mass produced. There are two loops on the back of the tag and a leather band is run through it. I have had it set up two diffrent ways. The first way is with two slipnots and the other way was just tied to fit and the excess cut off. The tag is made out of pewter with an antique coating on it

The reason why only a few organizations were decided upon was inital cost. to have these mass produced a large quantity would be needed in order to make it fessible. We can deffintly make it happen especilly if a few chapters want to get together and buy a large number we can deffintly make a custom order! This would allow you top determine all design ideas, color and shape!

thanks for the continued support and if their are any more questions please let me know.

thanks
Steve

Know your market and where to advertise. Go for where people are (and not where they are not) looking. Forums are NOT the place to advertise. Never, ever, ever. It's a sure-fire way to turn people off.

FYI I hope that you are using lead-free pewter. If not, you are supposed to note that it is not lead-free. Children handling items which are made with leaded pewter can get lead poisoning.

FYI if you are trying to drum up customers for your "business", read and re-read every single letter you type that will be in a public forum. Spelling and grammar are paramount to looking professional.
