Closing the Business - More Than Poker Tables

It has been an interesting and sometimes frustrating experience to have our own internet business. I have personally gained so much knowledge in the journey since we started our business. There have been some great repeat customers who we have enjoyed working with, our suppliers have been terrific (mostly) to work with and learning how to market the business has been a real growing experience.

Unfortunately, the beginning of the year one of our main suppliers increased the wholesale cost of our poker tables by 50%, an increase that we did not feel we could pass along to our customers. The Texas Hold’em and other Poker games remain a passion and we will continue to work with non-profit groups to help with their Poker Fundraiser events, but More Than Poker Tables will be shutting down on May 27, 2011.

I want to thank all of you who have supported our business and followed us through the past few years. And I do want to share with you that I have joined forces with AdzZoo, a company that helped me get to the first page of google with several of my keywords. It is an exciting opportunity and benefits businesses that want to grow their customer base on a local basis. In June we will be starting a coupon offering which should be a very successful way to attract more customers to our clients as well.

If you need help with your Texas Hold’em Fundraisers in California, please keep us in mind. We can be a consultant for your first event and provide the equipment that you need (including dealers) to make the event a home run! Or if you are interested in hearing more about how to get onto Google’s First Page, call me at (916) 955-8434.

Thanks, again, for all your support!
