The BEST month ever !
Yes, its true. We have officially had the best month ever since starting the business back in 2006.
Over the past three months we have been working hard on developing new areas of the business and have now secured some good contracts and are continuing to expand the little empire we have. We have a number of online marketing campaigns underway, all of which are doing well.
The industry has been under quite a lot of pressure lately, we have seen some alloy wheels distributors and manufacturers go bust, a performance exhausts manufacturer has also been forced into administration and many others are struggling. Luckily for us, things have not been quiet, infact we’ve had too much work on so certain sites have had to be put on the back burner as work for customers has been taking up most of our time.
The modified car scene has definately changed over the past few years with the price of petrol going up and the police cracking down on the illegal cruise scene. Not that they are the only factors but they have played a big role.
When we first got into the modified car scene we were amazed by the amount of different products available, things such as body kits where once a big thing and custom body styling. Nowadays alot more people are getting into the Motorsport side and spending more money on engine tuning and performance car parts.
I am also one of those people and am entering into the Toyota Sprint Series next year as I think it will be a good thing for the company as well as get me started with Motorsport. Hopefully in a couple of years we can expand on this, have more cars, more drivers, maybe even a team one day, Time Attack is the ultimate goal but with how much money you need we have a way to go yet.
In other news the Spotlight Torch has been selling well, not as well as we first thought but to say we have only had the product a few months its not done too bad at all. We still have alot of editorial to go out into the press in the likes of Max Power, FastCar and other magazines.
We launched our SmartWax website a few weeks ago too and have started advertising on a few sites and have also setup an SEO campaign for it. Our aim is to become the biggest online retailer for the Smart range. Not an overnight job but we are confident that we can achieve it.
I think for now, thats about all we have to blog about, no need to go into every nook and cranny of the business. We do have other projects on the go, new websites being worked on as we speak so watch this space.
We recently bought even more domain names which should be put to good use very soon.
Oh yes, last but not least, we gave the office a lick of paint and a bit of a shuffle around. After two long years our office actually looks and feels like an office and not a typical lads bedroom (or thats what people used to call it)
