Hi Thrive!
We just wanted to send a quick testimony of how our business has been going and give you an update. Since we have been working with Rob in the Marketing Department, our business has taken a dramatic change for the better. Rob has helped me understand Analytics, how to really do a "call to action" and how to get visitors to my site! Our visitors have gone from 50-70 per day to up to 200 per day! I know, crazy stuff! Not only that, but we have had some SamuraiSupply.com t-shirts made and have been giving them as a "bonus" to sales over $150. That added little extra alone has closed an extra 3 sales and something we may not have done for awhile if we had not had the privilege to work with Rob and be able to pick his brain. (there's quite a bit in there!)
Our gross sales are now up to over $5100.00 and we had over 9 orders in August which was great. We know our sales will just keep going up and we are pumped to see what the busy time of fall and Christmas will bring us. Considering we just put our site www.samuraisupply.com on the internet on March 31, 2009, we are doing awesome and I know it will just keep getting busier and busier! We are also just in the final stages of supplying a Canadian business with swords for them to sell in their store. This will be a HUGE customer for us and we look forward to all that being finalized in the next week.
It can be challenging be a stay at home mom of 2 young ones (3.5 years and 15 months old) to be able to do as much as I need to do or want to do at times. I am enjoying this business so much I want to work on it 8 hours a day and there are days I am only able to do a few hours. The fact that I love it so much, makes it not seem like work at all and I am so happy we chose Thrive so that we can have the freedom to still stay home with our boys and still be earning an income and ENJOY IT! In these hard times, to have a job or business that you want to spend more time at and you enjoy doing is quite a blessing and I am very thankful that we were able to find Thrive and start this business which I know will be successful.........heck, it already is!
My husband and I have also enjoyed collecting some of our own sword and have a couple of pictures attached for you to see! One of our favorites is the Bushido Bamboo Pearl Katana (has the black saya) which is just a beautiful sword. So many swords to choose from, so little time!
We just really wanted to thank you for all your help so far and especially to Rob Young in Marketing who has really made all the difference to us and our business since we have been working with him. I look forward to working for him for awhile to come as I still have so much to learn. See, another great thing, I am a beginner at all this and I am actually making money while I am learning.........how can you top that!!!
Talk soon!
