Well I guess I'm a sponsor. My banner is at the top right, Bear Creek Holsters. Sales are nice and I don't mind advertising and sponsoring a good forum. But I would still prefer smaller. I considered the Elsie Pea to be smaller. If this is as good as the old Elsie Pea, I would be tickled to death.
I find the advertising to be a rather small amount of my business. I get business from Google searching, repeat customers, referrals, and customers posting pictures and comments about their products. I'm getting busier by the month and I kinda like the slow growth.
I believe if I make a good product, at a fair price, and have great communication and customer service, I will be OK. So far that is working for me.
