     FINALLY!  After many late nights and hours of work, BoxerHaus.com is Open For Business!!  The store went live on Wednesday and in just 3 days has already resulted in numerous entries into the Customer Database, almost 800 visitors averaging 9.5 Page Views, and generated over $400 in sales!!  These results were captured mainly through Whisper Campaign and Viral Marketing alone!! 

        I am very pleased with the results and am very thankful to the following people for their help:  TJ Graff for his countless hours of personal time giving me advice and guidance - I was blessed to have found you!, Jay Jones of AllMediaNet.com  for his talents in web design, Vince Creazzo of Spads.com for his wonderful Apple Cart design, and to the members of SUN who offered their opinions and assistance on my forum posts!! 

        Boxer Haus is off to a great start and I couldn`t be more satisfied!  I wanted a website that was rich and easily functional and I was able to garner exactly that!  The store offers a variety of Boxer dog gifts, collectibles, and art and I keep adding new products almost daily!!  Boxer Haus features items that use templates designed for personalization and customization.  The store also has a unique Gift Certificate program that the customer can opt to receive via e-mail or snail mail.  You can check out my Boxer Haus store at www.boxerhaus.com

    And the best part is that with just under a $3,000 investment....BoxerHaus.com became an online store just as I had envisioned!

     To show my thanks to SUN members for their help in making my vision a reality, I want to offer a 5% discount to all SUN members any time they shop at my store!  Even if you don`t have boxers, you may know someone who does or you can still utilize our custom artists, such as Marty Gordon, to paint your own dog on the merchandise of hers that Boxer Haus carries!  To get the discount, go to http://www.boxerhaus.com/store.htm and register into the Customer Database.  In the comments section, notate you are a SUN member and your SUN member log in name.  After membership in SUN is verified, I will input the 5% discount into your Customer Profile and notify you - after which time the store will generate the discount for you ever time you shop at Boxerhaus.com 

       Thank you again to everyone and wishing you great success in your own business ventures!!!

Hey Beth:  Congratulations on reaching another rung of the success ladder!

Now that you`ve been up for about 1 week ...

Have the search engines started to index the site yet?

Beth,

Fantastic! What a difference!  I think it`s going to be a hit. You`ve asked all the right questions. You followed advice. You made it happen. Such methods are proven to lead to success again and again. You should be proud and excited.

Great job!

Totally cool! Next to bugs, boxers rule! Awesome site, easy to navigate, and  friendly. You mentioned that you had over $400 in sales and 800 visitors in 3 days. I am jealous. What did you do to get the traffic so quickly? What is a "whisper campaign," and what advice would you give to over ecommerce startups?

Have a Creepy Crawly Day!
