Hello! Most of you reading this are Friends & Family of Paoli fotobar.
The generosity and kindness of many along the way, coupled with the support of friends & family, allowed me to open Paoli fotobar 4 years ago....yes I said 4 years! I still can't believe where the time has gone. I've had the support of many of you since the beginning, and with that I would like to personally express my sincere gratification and from the bottom of my heart, shout out a big thank you! Paoli fotobar would not have grown to where it is today without your support.
My goal from the beginning has always been to deliver to the people of Paoli and its surrounding communities, a place that was warm, comfortable, and welcoming. And at the same time know that you would receive the utmost customer service and quality products, when it came to your memories. Most of you that know me, know that I care deeply and passionately about what I am building. Its a business that supports people and a community.
I think most of you can see I enjoy my work and love to help you in any way I can. And I want to continue with that.
In recent weeks, our main printer has been having issues. Although we have been able to fix it, it is concerning to me in regards to how long will it be fixable.
With some recent information that I've received, parts are becoming very scarce for some of the machines that I have. What does that mean? If our machine would break down, there could be the possibility a part would not be available and couldn't be fixed. I have been checking on the cost of new updated machines and costs start at $85,000 plus.
I've been trying to think of a way I could some how raise $50,000 in a month's time to help continue to help maintain my current machine or have the resource to replace with a new one. And to still keep delivering to you- my customer. And still be able to meet my personal and business expenses(rent,payroll,etc) Unfortunately, I realized I can't do this without asking for help.
And that's why I've decided to start this campaign and reach out to see if I could raise the funds so that I could keep moving foward.
Please note and very importantly, that I'm not seeking a 100% donation, without something in return to you. If you would like your contribution in the way of a credit, please let me know. My parents instilled in me at very early age, You don't get anything for nothing.
So, should you believe in Paoli fotobar and me, and find it in your heart to contribute towards helping, you will receive a gift card in the amount you wish to contribute and a promise from me to continue with to offer the great customer service and products you expect.
Some have asked, why don't you just go to the banks? Truth is, I'd rather pay you back in old fashion "sweat equity" and still deliver a great product and customer service, without the high interest rates that are associated with the bank route.
I would personally and sincerely like to say "THANK YOU" for your
past and future support.
Again, if you believe in what I 'm trying to build here and have always felt that we go out of our way to help you. I hope you'll be able to help in some way. Regardless of your decision, just know that I love all my customers and it has been a real pleasure helping each and everyone of you these first 4 years.
If you could share this on social media it would be deeply appreciated
THANK YOU!
