| Once upon a time three people had a their own businesses. Each was
doing ok, but advertising cost was going through the roof and they lived in
a preverbal rain forest. Number two said to Number one, while drinking a hot cup of coffee, have you ever heard of this co-op thing? Number one said yes, and Number three chimed in (he is the odd one, he drinks cola for breakfast) that he had looked into the co-op idea because the buying power was better. Number one (who only drinks water with lemon) said he thought they should look into banding together with their advertising dollars and see if any money could be saved. With that said the three business men went to their own stores to look at the advertising costs for the last year. A week later setting at the same table with a cola, a cup of coffee, and a glass of water with lemon, it was discovered that each businessman had an Internet site. The cost of the site itself was low enough, but the return was not so good and since each had a lot of time and money in the Internet, they did not want to give it up. Besides they had read somewhere that somebody had said the web was the thing of the future and what else was their $2500 computer good for? Toasting with the glass of water with lemon, the cup of now cold coffee, and the Styrofoam cup of cola, the suncoastemall.com was born. Dedicated to getting the most out of the Internet advertising dollar, and a if-I-don't-have-it-I-know-who-does attitude. (fanfare) Each businessman then went back to his store to take an aspirin and think about what he had just done. Three weeks later, after talking with other business men, Number one, Number two and Number three found that there was others just like themselves. No they were not alone with the advertising bills and everybody had a web site that was, well it just set there.... Now the suncoastemall.com is on the web... there is a stack of orders for internet sites to be written and would you believe we are getting product orders. What are we doing right? I haven't the foggiest idea. I only know we are all working for each other. Everybody knows that the Internet is flaky at best and if you treat your customers with respect and give them a good value for their hard earned dollar, they will be back. If you are thinking about the Internet then you might want to read the other information available here in the office. To return to the Office, just close this window. |
