Poker Chips?

August 5, 2008

In a receding economy, you would think that many people are looking to tighten their belts and not pay a lot of money into something that seems like a frivolous expenditure. However, what if you are selling something like poker chips?

Many would think that poker chips, even personalized poker chips, would go by the wayside in a tougher economy, but Mark Pienta is not most people. Pienta started his poker chip business in February of this year, and is already doing well for himself.

Pienta makes custom foil stamped poker chips for a variety of purposes. He makes them for home or tournament play, game rooms and fund raisers. He used his savings to start the business, which is his first.

Pienta was a die maker in the automotive industry, and just decided one day that he could make a living making poker chips, personalized, for other people. Those that have had the privilege of seeing his work are already impressed by what they see.

He says that he got some great advice from a former employer to treat every customer like it was his one and only customer – and that is what he strives to do.

He is currently working on a web site to market his poker chips, and he says that when it is completed he will be taking orders online and accepting PayPal. Until then you can reach him at dcpchips@comcast.net, or phone, 586-944-5519.
