A HUGE order!

Oh folks, it's all just so exciting I don't know where to begin. Perhaps at the beginning:

On Monday morning I wake up to find a request for information has come through our website from a company down in Miami. I answer his questions and send back information - the usual course of action. I hear back from him yesterday that he wants to place an order for 200 (!!!!!) units. Very exciting. Of course he needs me to send them to Nigeria and he needs to make a wire transfer directly into my bank account but still....200 units! I'm also wondering if I work with this guy in Nigeria if it will help me win that Nigerian lottery I keep hearing about.

(in case you couldn't tell the tone from my writing above, i will not be doing business with anyone who wants anything shipped to Nigeria)

Aside from my new Nigerian friend, I've actually been getting in a fair amount of real requests for information. People are contacting us now mainly through the two trade ads we've run in the last three months but I've also had a handful of people contact me who received our postcard back in May! We're probably averaging about seven new requests for information a week which is great given that this time last year you could hear the crickets chirping. I also have what I think is a spectacular new ad (very eye-catching, I hope!) that will run in the Sept issue of one trade publication, the Oct issue of another trade publication, and in a new direct mail piece that will go out to 12,000 retailers. I'm hoping it catches their eye as well!
