Michael DeVries and Sonya Seybold are the founders of I-ShopTheWorld.com. Their mission is to help their customers save money on unique native products from all over the world...and they are doing a great job! They have hundreds of handcrafted/handmade products from specialty food items to jewelry to home decor...plus they even take custom orders.
Michael and Sonya have a big picture plan for their site including online and offline, business-to-business sales of their products. They are also looking at larger scale import/export options to increase orders and sales. There is even a fund raising angle coming soon where organizations will earn a portion of the profits from all the I-ShopTheWorld.com sales generated through their referrals. As if this was not enough, a portion of the proceeds from all sales go to local charities, generally to help the community from which the products were produced.
It was very impressive to see how well Michael and Sonya have embraced the Cartfly model to help grow their business. They have their store embedded on Live Journal, MySpace, Piczo, Xanga, and Blogger. Just a few days ago they even posted a blog post showing off new merchandise and their Cartfly store. According to Michael, "There will be more stores in the future as we continue to expand our I-ShopTheWorld Social Networking and Blog sites to others that also support the Cartfly widget!"
Since this dynamic duo is all about expanding their success via internet marketing, it is fitting that they found out about Cartfly on a marketing forum. It was recommended to them as a free alternative to eBay. "It [Cartfly] provides us with a very attractive and easy to use means of displaying our products to customers all over the world."
We are very proud to be helping a business with such a great reach and tireless work ethic. "Like anything worth doing, this takes time and effort so don’t give up and keep working towards making positive progress towards your goals everyday!" said Sonya. With that kind of advice for others, they have no where to go but up!
