This year I’m giving my customers each a care package with the following -
A 58 oz Acrylic Clamp Top Canister. In it will be promo Koozies, pads and Pens (very nice stuff). Next to that will be a 1lbs bag of pistachios and a bag of Ghirardelli chocolates. So they can pull their goodies out of the canister and fill with the snack of their choice. Sounds cheap?
$13 each canister
$7.00 for pistachios
$6.25 for candy
Marketing materials cost approx $12
Shipping approx $11.00
So around $50 per customer. Going to cost me around $1750. Not that bad but it all adds up

Yes it is!
I’m glad that he listened to the advice he was given about putting up a page!
It’s also wonderful to see him get the same love in return from those he’s done so much for.

An update from Mooch:
We’re there!
After slowing down a lot there was a burst of bigger donations in the past 24 hours and we have reached my goal! As of 11pm EST on October 5th…
GoFundMe = $7,169 (fees will be taken out of this by GoFundMe) PayPal = Approximately $1,725
Total = $8,320 (withGoFundMe fees deducted)
I’ll keep it going until Sunday night for those who needed to wait until payday before making a donation and will do a detailed tallying of the donations then.
I have started purchasing some of the equipment:
Cycling charger to do cycle life testing of LiPo packs, high power cycling of individual cells, and married/rotated battery testing. Two additional units will be purchased if all goes well with this one.
Four power supplies to replace the five that were trashed by a voltage surge.
For transparency I have set up a blog entry that will list all the purchases I make using the donated funds: https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blog-entry/where-is-all-that-gofundme-and-paypal-money-going.7733/[1]

Probably the most altruistic person in the entire community.
I think I was #8 to donate, after seeing it on FB.
