What am I doing selling Baby Gifts and Baby Gift Baskets to the American Market?
After under going a total laryngectomy operation in July 1995, as a permanent
cure for cancer of the larynx, I had to learn to speak, and till to-day continue to speak with the
help of a voice prosthesis.
In 2003, things so happened, that I faced the imminent threat of not being
able to use a voice prosthesis any more. When this happens I would
become a ‘mute’ totally speechless, creating the need for me to find
alternative employment wherein I could work without having to talk.
In May 2004 an American company, StoresOnline Inc, of Orem Utah, held a
workshop promoting “Internet Marketing”, and their web hosting
services.
This was what I was looking
for. As an Internet Merchant, emails and published WebPages would do all
my talking for me. I purchased a package of 6 websites.
To the question “what do I sell on these websites”, I was told to try
and sell things that I had a passion for, understood, and used a lot.
My passions are Animals, especially Cats, Children,
Photography and Gift giving, not necessarily in that order.
When I started this venture in May 2004, I discovered that Australians were not yet ready to trust the Internet as a
Market Place. Building websites to sell consumer products to the
Australian market would have been pointless.
The best International Market I could find was the 48 continental states
of the USA.
The first site that went live in August 2004 was
www.catbedandtoy.com,
and gradually the other five followed.
All the products I sell are purchased from manufacturers and
distributors in the USA. They send what I buy directly to my customers,
cutting out the middle men, thereby making it feasible for me to
sell at discount prices.
This is a business venture, and soon to be the only means of livelihood for me and my
dependants.
The above being the case, I am Honest and Professional, qualities
without which, I cannot succeed in this highly competitive business.
