Out of Play: A Beginning of the Month Update
Hey hey my peeps and meeps! I just wanted to take a moment to provide a quick update on what's been happening here at Out of Play. As we kick off a new month, I wanted to share some insights into what's in the works and what you can expect in the coming weeks.
First and foremost, I want to let you all know that the loyalty program we had in place is currently suspended. I've been exploring different options and trying to find a system that is more flexible and better suited to our needs. While the current program is on hold for now, I'm committed to bringing back a loyalty program in the future that will provide even more value to our amazing community. Stay tuned for updates on that front!
Speaking of our community, I wanted to take a moment to reach out and ask for your help. I'm on the lookout for active game stores that we can list on our website for our traveling meeples. If you have a favorite local game store that you think deserves some extra love, please drop me the name, location, and contact information at info@outofplay.shop. I'd be thrilled to add them to our list and help spread the word about these wonderful establishments.
In other news, I'm excited to share that I'm currently working on the details for an upcoming game jam. I'm in the process of finalizing the rules and rubric, and I'm aiming to launch this in December. The prize for the winning entry will be store credit or something of equal value. I can't wait to see the creative and innovative ideas that our community comes up with!
As some of you may have noticed, I've also wrapped up the "Board Game ABC's" series. I know it was a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it kind of thing, but I'm glad to have that behind me. I'm still figuring out this whole advertising and marketing thing, but I'm forging ahead, and you can expect to see some changes and updates to the website in the coming weeks.
Speaking of marketing, I'm excited to share that I've recently been approved for a Pinterest shop, and I'm in the process of sorting through that and getting it all set up. I'm also working on getting a TikTok shop up and running, so be on the lookout for that as well.
As always, I'm committed to being transparent and keeping you all in the loop. Anything major that's happening here at Out of Play will be announced in the news section, so make sure to keep an eye out for that.
Thank you all for your continued support and for being a part of this amazing community. I'm so grateful to have you all on this journey with me, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Until next time, happy gaming!
Sincerely, Jennifer @ Out of Play
