Personalized Holiday Gifts
The Challenge
Aunt Joy began her business in Des Moines, Iowa selling her Christmas stockings at local and regional craft shows. She found that people she met were enthusiastic about her stockings and she wanted to expand her reach beyond her small community.
The Network Solutions® Difference
In 1998, she decided to take her business online, and her son recommended Network Solutions. Joy uploaded her Web site, www.auntjoy.com, at 11:30pm one night in early December, and the next morning at 6:30am she had her first order… from Japan! After Aunt Joy initially registered her Web site with us, she has continued to add additional features to her Web site to help her business grow over the years.
The Solution
Due to her online presence, Aunt Joy now receives and fills orders for her Personalized Christmas Stockings all over the United States, Europe and even the middle of the Indian Ocean. While Aunt Joy attributes her Web site and the different products to her success, she states that it is Network Solutions "stellar customer service" that she most appreciates.
