Work In-Progress
July 25, 2007 by Jeremy
As with most grassroots business (or is it most business?), things are perpetually changing around here, with “here” being a fluid idea that encompasses Buy Shoes. Save Lives. volunteers in America, shoemakers in Iraq, or this weird “here” called the Internet and BSSL’s online home, buyshoessavelives.com.
“Here” in America things are changing as one donor has given $1,500 for marketing and advertising expenses. We’re currently researching options for how to best spend that money, what demographic to pursue, and the timing of such an investment.
“Here” in Iraq we’ve made our first purchase of over 30 pairs of shoes and shipped them to the States. If you ordered before July 15th, your klash are only a few more weeks away from arriving at your door so you can rock the ‘hood.
“Here” in Iraq we’re aslo trying to do some travel this week to learn more about the shoe-making process and to potentially cut out the middle man, thereby allowing more funds for heart surgeries.
“Here” at buyshoessavelives.com we had a generous investment of time by a American business ownver who did an in-depth review of the site and gave us some tips on how to cut out the fat and beef up the beef. We’re not the most savvy guys around, and we didn’t start this thing because we were marketing gurus or salesmen, but we’re doing our best to keep up with demand and communicate what we have going on here and why others should want in on it.
Thanks for hanging with us. Keep checking the blog…. there’s more exciting things around the corner.
