Tenacious Toys Top 10 Customer Reward Packs for 2017

After every new year at Tenacious Toys, we look back at our sales for the previous year and tabulate our top 10 customers for that year. We always put together some kind of reward for them - a free gift to say "thank you" for supporting our little shop over the course of the year.

Loyalty is SUPREMELY important to us, professionally and personally, so we go the extra mile for our top supporters. As a tiny business, having repeat customers who come back to us time and again is literally vital to the success of our shop.

This year (for 2017), we were able to plan ahead a little bit and put together an absolutely RIGHTEOUS package for our Top 10 Customers. Each of our Top 10 will receive a custom scarf, a set of prints, a ton of stickers, a handful of pins and buttons, and assorted other awesome pieces of swag.

Below is a little bit more about who contributed to the package, and what they contributed:

We hope that all of you reading this post might discover a new name in the list above, and go check them out and follow them.
