Another record setting month

January 26, 2009

Congrats everyone! Just a few hours ago we passed last month’s sales total making this the 10th consecutive month of growing sales.

In April of 2008 we didn’t see growth in sales because we moved to our current warehouse. Prior to that we had 8 consecutive months of growth.

Here are the stats that we will be printing on our next round of business cards.
