1. We have prepared, created, and tested this unique online system
with basic free store, premium store, VIP domain store, drop
shipping and SuperVIP programs since 2004. In January of 2006, we
successfully raised angel fund of US$500,000, and started to run our
ArtsNow.com online customization services. The headquarter of
ArtsNow.com located in Hong Kong, with 12 staff here for daily
operation. With the help of angel fund, we also created a factory
with two made-to-order production lines located in Fujian Province
of China, which was established in 2006 with a
factory area of 16,000 s
quare
meters, with over 50 staff, processing over 1000 orders per
day, all products will be sent to Hong Kong office for double check
and quality control, then they will be sent to post office for
delivery.
We do believe that made-to-order production lines located in
China, can help us save lots of labor cost and factory rental fees,
that is why we can keep such low and competitive prices, with
average 30% lower than those company located in the United States
and United Kingdom. There are no big difference of production and
transit time at all, from the time we got our customer's order, we
can process it, produce it and send it to post office within 48
hours. It takes about 6-10 business days for shipment arrival.
We are proud that ArtsNow.com is a profitable company in the
first year. Sales volume increased dramatically from the beginning
of 2007.
Our online customization systems, production lines and the
supporting systems have been fully tested in terms of volume,
accuracy and security. In the beginning of 2006 by launching our
resellers system. The sudden boost of sales volume bring us
difficulties. However, thanks to this by revealing our weaknesses,
we overcome these difficulties and strengthen our systems and
productivities, and most importantly we learn from this experience.
We are proud and confident to our SuperVIP program about to launch.
2. Before launching of ArtsNow.com customization services, we
were experienced eBay sellers with 4 - 5 years selling experience in
eBay from May, 2003. Our eBay ID is: laser-charm, we served over
50,000 unique eBay buyers (70% of buyers are from the United
States), with over 200,000 items sold, 99.3% of positive feedbacks
are satisfied with our products, shipping arrival time and
customer services. Our eBay experiences help us understand the needs
of our drop shipping members much better, and make our drop shipping
system much more user-friendly to our members. Actually we are
making use of the drop shipping system from the beginning till now
as our daily eBay business operations. And we keep on using it and
ensure to be the frontier to discover any unknown problem, and fix
them at once.
3. From the beginning of 2006, there are only 30
kinds of basic products can be customized. Since the great demand of
customization services, and the suggestions from our customers, we
have added much more great new products in last several months.
Nowadays, there are over 200 kinds of different products can be
customized, including the hottest market demanded items, like Black
and Dark t-shirts, USB Flash Drives, Wrist Watches, Dog Tags,
Wallets, Money Clips, Key Chains, Belt Buckles, Pen Holder Clocks,
Business Card Holders, and so on. We hope we can increase to get 400
kinds of customized products until 2010. At that moment,
ArtsNow.com will be one of the biggest customization websites, and
with biggest selections of products that can be customized.
4. We aimed to provide the most pleasant and safe business
environment to our customers. Our servers are locating in one of the
