One of the things we here at Cheese Weasel Logistics believe strongly
in, is that companies are better when they team up. That’s why we
put the Logistics after the company name. This process has been called
many things in the past. We like to call it Synergy. Now, what Synergy
does for you is allows you to help other companies while they help you.
We have made this one of our core functions here at Cheese Weasel Logistics.
In keeping with this philosophy we have teamed up with a few companies
in an effort to cross promote each other’s products - we call them
Synergy Partners and they are listed below. So far these relationships
have worked well for all those involved. We look forward to expanding
our relationships with our current Synergy partners and to create more
relationships with others.
Smirk and Dagger Games
The
folks over at Smirk and Dagger Games were our first true "Con buddies"
and we think they and their products are truly great. Their primary product
is the game Hex Hex. A "mean spirited party game," as they would
call it, it's a fast-paced, quick-pick-up game to get any party or gaming
evening going. This game has been selling very well and things are looking
very bright for this new company. We wish them all the luck in the world.
I have already bought 3 copies of the game, one for myself and two for
family and friends. We met the Smirk and Dagger guys at GAMA 2004 over
in Las Vegas. Since then we have met up again at Origins and Gencon. Our
Synergy program started just before Origins. About 2 weeks before Origins
2004 we contacted the CEO of Smirk and dagger games and ran an idea past
him. He was excited about it and we went forward with it. The idea was
that we each give a coupon off each other’s products. Since I already
had a copy of Hex Hex I knew that when you break it down, all the components
fit perfectly into my product, the Card Coffin. Smirk and Dagger Games
also realized this and a partnership was born. For our part I know that
Smirk and Dagger Games was responsible for about 1/3 of our sales at Origins.
I know we sent many people their way as well. Since then we have continued
the same partnership to both our successes. To promote their product,
I display my Card Coffins showing their product. I also tell folks about
it a bit and direct them to where they can pick up a copy of it. This
sort of thing is simple to do but can have a great impact on the business
of both our companies.

We ran accross these guys at Origins 2007 and found the idea to be an
interesting one. Basically they try to match up gamers based on the games
they want to play. So if you are wanting to play specific games and can
never seem to fine anyone to play them, check out Spielerz.
Trollandtoad.com
Troll and Toad have been around for about 15 years now,
operating out of Corbin KY. They started out by specializing in the sale
and resale of Magic cards. And in that capacity they have become the world's
largest retailer of Magic cards, both in inventory and sales. Today, however,
they have expanded to carry a comprehensive selection of games and accessories.
A huge and positive reputation is hard to come by for and exclusively
online retailer, but they have one and this says something about them,
A. They know the market, B. they know thier customers needs and wants,
and C. they are some sharp folks. So if you need it, they got it. They
have been a log time supporter of the Cheese Weasel Logistics product
line, and we thank them for that. Go check them out.
