Aloha everyone,
I usually do not strut my Aloha, but I can not resist sharing this with you. I put a lot of time into marketing the International markets and I wanted to share one of our greatest feats to date. 

There is a lot of irony in this because Japan, and the yen, have eaten away at many markets, thus creating a market for products that are actually made in the USA. Like the Marines, I took it right to their doorstep.

We owe a lot of our success to the articles we read in this forum. Thanks SR members!

You will need to use the translator in your Google tool bar to see this, but check out the listings under “Aloha shirt”. Enjoy

I'm a little confused - is the site a reseller for you?

I like the translation (very litteral the old G transation service

t is not too lively is produced in the American California aloha it is the shirt.

Yes, they are now a distributor for our products. That was no easy task matte.

good stuff, it will be interesting to hear what % of your sales come from them

That’s the magic word, sales. But nothing ventured, nothing gained, we did not have to give them price points, so it may be something worthwhile. I don’t think they will surpass the US sales but you never know, the yen is pretty strong now.

TA, check out the tasty ad towards the bottom of this page:

Firefighter Shirts

Nothing like a freebie from the federal firefighters

P.S. if you are nice to me this week I will give you a plug for the nice biz cards you did for me.

Thanks waveshoppe for sharing your achivements with us, it sure gives us ideas and incentives to continue in the business, wish you success in the future, well done. I have learn a lot visiting this forum too.

IMC, thanks for the kind comments. You pretty much said it, “ideas and incentives”; we have reached the point where we are running out of places to get “quality, and relevant” links from. I assure you that our competition won’t be linking to us anytime soon.

I will be honest with you; we made the shirts just for them just so we could get the ad and the deep one-way link. I have noticed that many of our wholesale customers have webs and they are more than willing to link to us after we have met their needs.

A good portion of our sales comes from well-placed information, but not so much from general links (directories, etc.), and we pretty much stay away from linking to everyone and anyone.

So I am probably showing may hand a bit, but getting links to very specific products would be the way for us to go at this time.

In example, you could link to our poker shirt page, which by the way would be a great resource for your existing customer base
