Know your market

[rhu]

A quick followup on my "market research" post from a couple of weeks ago about my siddur.

Posting here on LJ and on FaceBook got me expressions of interest from about a dozen people, about half of whom I don't know. (And some good questions which prompted me to add an FAQ page.)

After that traffic settled down, I sent the same basic message to the "announcements" list from Zamir. That drove another 20 people to sign up, most of whom I know. (And some more interesting feedback, about which more later.)

After that traffic settled down, I sent the message to my synagogue. Now I'd previously gotten a little interest from LJ friends, almost none from Zamir, and a lot from people at shul. And from the shul people...

... exactly two have signed up.

Aw, crud. I never signed up. I should find that original post and do it, shouldn't I?

I too never signed up, and I meant to. It's not too late, is it?

Nope, not too late. I'm still in "market research" mode, trying to figure out whether there's enough interest to warrant ordering 100 copies, which looks like it'll be the threshold for bringing the price down enough to be reasonable.

If we get close enough to 100, then I'll start taking orders for real. Once that happens there'll be an actual deadline, but you'll hear me making a lot more noise, too.

I forgot - I'll sign up.
