a Little Intro

[IslandGirl]

Greetings, fellow LowCarb Canadians. I'm Judith (call me Judi) van den Broek and I live the LowCarb Life over here in Victoria, on Vancouver Island (BC for you Easterners !8-).

I've been working on (and wow it's mind-boggling) getting a Co-op style business started up, since this last Spring sometime, so that LowCarb products we're all pretty well forced to order over the Internet in American dollars, with the Shipping/Exchange/Customs kafuffle, can be "group ordered" right here in this country. Well, it's officially up and running, and with Wa'il's support and assistance, there are links going up from LowCarb Canada. Check out the Online section of the Retailers database!

Meanwhile, here is the text of the bulletin I sent out yesterday to my existing email contact list:

"Here's where I'm at:
simple webpage with ordering info goes up this weekend, probably late Saturday, at http://www3.telus.net/seadrakeHome/LCFE.htm
Products I've got availability [at last!] on (I would order in case lots, "you" would order in smaller quantities, turnaround depends on what and how much you order):
ExpertFoods not/Sugar, not/Starch, not/Cereal products; LaTortilla LowCarb High-Fiber Tortillas (burrito and large sizes);
DaVinci Sugarfree (no aspartame, Splenda-sweetened) Syrups.

I would truly appreciate any and all feedback, be it today, tomorrow or early next week; especially any tips or suggestions on how to get the word out that LowCarb FoodExperts Canada (reg'd) is now "officially" up and running. Gyms? Church hall bulletin boards? EMail to your friends and acquaintances?

I would further appreciate you referring any enquiries (info, retail or wholesale; yes I'm working on wholesale as well) my way. This small business MUST pay for itself at this time; there is no 'operations' or inventory budget left after licenses, permits, etc., ad nauseum.

Hope to hear back from you, and thank you all for listening, and for your support !8-] "

Thank you all! I can be reached here (of course) or at lcfoodexperts@yahoo.com ... Judi [IslandGirl]

Go, girl! I'm thrilled to bits! I've already faxed in my order! Woo hoo!

I don't know much about marketing, but it seems to me you've got a captive audience here in Canada. I'm sure we'll all be ordering from you. I will, anyway!

Hi Judi!
This is just great!! I know all too well about those American orders... with the exchange, and their outrageous shipping prices, it's too much. I think this will work out great for you because of people like me.... I work so much, and don't really find alot of time to go out and try to find all of these products... ordering from you would save me time (and stress!) and be very reasonable!
I will definatly be in touch!
Great job!!

or as Elvis said: Thank you, thank you very much!

Please spread the word, timing is the one catch with this arrangement. The more "you" order, the faster all of you will get your products <hadda say it!>

I'm both excited and nervous about the whole thing... but I believe in it and in LowCarb, so here we goooooooooooooo...
