We’ve had difficulty getting our top choices for ink bottles in the quantities we’ve needed (especially in our desperate efforts not to repeat colors). We started out with 79 members in September 2010, quickly passing 300 members about six months later, and at most recent count, we have been hovering around 1,200-1,300 members! We’ve had a lot of fun with it, picking different themes and seeing the amazing artwork and writing samples that you all have done with it.Īs it’s grown, we’ve had increasing difficulty scaling it. It was truly a labor of love, something we could do to get folks talking about our company and get the “Goulet” name out there. The Ink Drop subscription was $10/month back then, for five samples per month shipped, and we haven’t raised the price since (except for international folks, due the rapidly increasing shipping rates). We had been in business for less than a year, just the two of us, and we weren’t even paying ourselves at this point. We were one of two retailers at the time selling ink samples, and we jumped on this opportunity to set up a subscription club. Ink Drop started as an idea from some folks on the Fountain Pen Network in mid-2010. It’s very bittersweet for us, as Ink Drop has been a part of our business for almost as long as we’ve been around.Ī bit of history…. It’s been a wonderful 5 1/2 years, but we are unable to continue.

We’ll cut right to the chase – we have decided to retire our Ink Drop ink sample subscription program.
