WoW cards
We've been trying to get WoW time cards to our store, to no avail. I contacted Blizzard, which directed me to Hed Arzi (who have no site), which, after more than a week of checking, decided they're not going to distribute these cards At All.
Unacceptable to us, we're now trying to get these cards from Blizzard themselves (or rather, their French distributers). I hope it works out - I really want the store to start selling these. Even if we barely make a profit, it's a good service to the WoW community in Israel - And the store is all about Israeli geeks and gamers, after all.

The interest we have in the shirts Is about making money - Sure, someone who bought a card might not suddenly realise he wants a shirt too, but someone might go to the site itself whereas usually he won't even think of it.
About new ideas for shirts - We keep getting ideas from people and I send them all to Omer to take a look and be inspired and design shirts for us. The guy is busy, unfortunately - I know how it is to have a full time job and university, and the poor guy has a lot of homework in all classes, I just have one with homework.
Also, we work on making the site better in itself - New design for the site, new software behind it, new engine and many new functions are being added and (hopefully) soon enough we'll replace this site with the new version.
One of the things I'm thinking of doing is to just give out cards as promotional items - Meaning, "buy 3 shirts, get a card for half price" or something like that.
That should increase traffic while increasing revenue as well, without spending too much time and effort - If I just buy 50 cards from the UK it isn't considered importing and I can do that wihtout dealing with Blizzard themselves, at least that's what I understand from importer agreements.
We are seeing what we can make of it - We won't start importing an item for a low profit since we're not a company that can afford to do it in order to boost some other product. We must have profit on all sales, otherwise we won't survive at this point.
We have asked for ideas. We've also received ideas.
I am not putting too much of my time into this - And not any of my money, not until I see a good profit from it.
If I can't, I will definitely reconsider the whole idea.
Our main goals at the moment are to improve the site and to put new shirts up - Two separate things we're working on, and we're planning to ship the new site wtih the new products, when they arrive.
Good luck Aviad! I just finished one of my statistics duties. And I'm happy I got it right. So I'm a happy camper. Sorry for the interruption. I'm just avoiding doing homeowrk... Go on...
