Update: 18 Months to Go, 2.4M in Sales

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated the blog and I apologize for that. We’ve been real busy. Good news is the pace of growth of the 10M project has really accelerated. In case you’ve not noticed I recently updated the stats in the header. We are now on pace to do $2.4M in annual sales and we have 18 months left in the project. So at this point we are still considering ourselves “on track” even through it will probably be pretty close on making our big goal of 10M in 3 years or less. But, what ever happens it’s exciting and we are succeeding.

Also a shout out to all those who are in the online retail businesses (especially the logistics and customer service side of things). With our increased sales we are totally beginning to understand the real logistical challenges that come with larger sales figures and larger customer bases. One of our main reasons for doing this project was so we could understand Ecommerce from the ground up (not just from the marketing end out) and that for sure is happening.

When I started the 10M project I anticipated being able to post a nice amount of information along the way with what we are learning. So far I have not had the time to do that and I apologize to all those following the project that I’ve not made this happen. I still hope to do some more detailed blogging about the project in the future but for now it’s on hold (except for posting significant developments like this one).

Thanks for reading. Hope to have some more significant updates for everyone soon.

Greg
