Quote:Hello Members,
At approximately 2:00 PM EST (or slightly before), a completely new Wagglepop Today will be posted.
The new Wagglepop Today (which will update quarterly) reflects precisely what we learned as a company in 2006 and how the start of our marketing campaign this quarter is going to effect our short and long term goals.
We believe strongly that we understand clearly now what it is that sellers require to join Wagglepop, open a Store, and stay for more than 30-90 days.
Conversely, we have learned a tremendous amount about how buyers shop online, where they go, and what they value in the shopping experience overall.
We understand better ourselves, and the procedures and processes that need to be in place so that we can simultaneously grow, yet handle that growth and build and keep a trust-based community.
The lessons of 2006 represent an invaluable foundation for exactly what we will do as a company moving forward, and what the goals are and can be.
Sellers want buyers, and want to build a customer base and earn a fair profit. Buyers want value and selection, and a seller body that they can trust. As a company, we need to fully support those desires and dynamics.
Today, we are introducing a completely new Wagglepop Today. It represents everything that we think we can be in terms of participation and growth not only over the next three years, but extending to five years as well.
It is boldly optimistic yet realistic based on the lessons of 2006.
We have every intention of continuing to succeed where others say we cannot and to do what others say we cannot do.
The publishing our new goals publicly we feel represents direct challenge for ourselves as a company and to all membership or potential membership, and we look forward each day to meeting whatever obstacles arise, and to out-working and out-thinking our competition, wherever that may be.
We must all push ourselves to be better than we think we can be, and work harder than we think we can work.
May the wind be at our backs and the sun on our faces as we take on this mission and begin the most exciting period of our company and community history
