Here we were, close to debt💔


We started the day off with ~ €14.800, which I am to blame for. Our starting budget was €50.000, but we purchased a lot of stock.


But! All is not lost, yet anyway.

Since one of our great minds calculated with a margin of ~ 164% , and I recalculated it with a reasonable margin, we adjusted it on the website and called it a sale, ~55% sale!

So, what I did;

  • Made a flyer;
  • Send it to all possible buyers on Trintel (our CMS);
  • And to really try and get the point across (obnoxiously), I looked up all the business's emails and send them a promotional letter, with the same flyer and some additional text. Truly awful of me.


But, it workerd!


Within an entire morning, we had 4 out of the 8 businesses reach out to us, requesting us for a quote.


In the end, we managed to make two sales in the entire morning, which was an increase of 100% compared to yesterday.


Our sales:

  • One bought 10 personal computers for a total of €5.361,05;
  • One bought 10 Apple MacBook Pro's for a total of €17.680,69 (that's expensive).


But, more stock was needed :(

So we placed two orders at the wholesaler, for a total of €12.505,24.


At the end


We're currently sitting at €26.625,22 after sales today, good!
