A Real-Life Story
If you check out the About Us section on this site you'll see what first inspired the idea of an Online Community for Green Business. However, what you won't see is the real-life story that finally made me decide to go for it.I used to work for a company called Red Jellyfish where I had the opportunity to communicate with other green business professionals. One January, I received an e-mail from David Taylor of OrganicWineCellar.com (not yet live). He works for a family and employee owned organic market in Florida.
Over the years they had built up quite an organic wine selection and were going to begin selling their 200 plus labels of organic wine online. They were asking for any in-sight as to the cost involved in building a site suitable to their needs. A design firm had given them an estimate of $20,000. David wrote us to see if they were in the ballpark.
I would have previously agreed that the estimate seemed reasonable. However, several months earlier Red Jellyfish had contemplated opening an online store of our own. We spent dozens of hours researching and discovered a company that would create an excellent custom store for under $5,000.
In the end, we decided not to move forward with our own store, but when David e-mailed us I instantly remembered the company we had discovered. I referred David to them, and after checking out their online portfolio, he decided this company would be perfect for their needs.
So, by spending just a few minutes communicating by e-mail with another green business professional, David was able to save his company $15,000.
That was when the full potential of the GreenBusiness.net idea really hit home. How many more success stories similar to this would be possible if we all communicated, shared ideas, and helped one another?
Quite a few, I think. And that is why, with great excitement and hope, I'm proud to present GreenBusiness.net.
