[Lnc-business] 344, 000 - LPStore.org sales report and thanks to Alex and Danielle

[Wes Benedict]

344,000 items ordered since July 14 (when we rolled out the new 
LPStore.org website).

https://lpstore.org/

4,218 orders filled. Can we double or triple the current rate?

We were 1,000 orders behind, but thanks to Alex Snitker and Danielle 
Alexandre, two activists from Florida who came here to help us pack and 
ship, we are caught up, stocked, and ready to double production 
(meanwhile we released Alex and Danielle to go back home to Florida).

Why Alex and Danielle from Florida? Long story short--they helped finish 
the LPCT petition drive extra early, so I asked them to help a few days 
at LPHQ before returning to Florida. They turned out to be sooooooo 
productive, I just had to have them back. But, given how people would 
not understand the value of a super fast motivated worker compared to 
the average Joe (no offense to Joe), and given how people would question 
the wisdom of flying people from Florida to Virginia just to pack 
"stuff", Carla Howell agreed to let them stay at her apartment for free, 
I gave them my truck while they were here and walked to work myself, and 
I also paid out of my personal checking account $267 for one of their 
flights to get them here. I felt responsible for LPHQ being behind 
filling orders and wanted to do whatever it took to catch up, and not 
just make excuses about the bureaucracy that makes quick hiring 
decisions cumbersome.

Details reports below. *Watch for more requests for budget increases in 
branding and staff to keep stuff moving.

Our prices are very low. The goal is to get stuff into the hands of 
activists so they can promote the campaign and LP, not to maximize our 
short-term revenue.  We are caught up and capable of scaling up 
production rapidly if demand ramps up.

LPHQ is just one piece in the puzzle. The Johson-Weld campaign, state 
and local organizations, and Super PACs are doing lots to promote the 
campaign.  Not everyone can find a good local organization to 
participate with--we're here to give everybody that needs something to 
do--something to do (in addition to sharing their wisdom on facebook of 
course).
