July 2005

Last year's eBay Live! in New Orleans was big for Wholesale Marketer as we were able to partner with new businesses and talk one-on-one with several of our members.

Because of our improved exposure, we had several drop ship wholesalers contact us throughout the year asking us to integrate them, and received lots of great feedback from our members.

As great as last year was, this year was even bigger!

General Manager Clark Winegar started the first day giving presentations at our booth every hour. We also had several guest presenters throughout.

But the presentations turned out to be so popular, we started holding them twice an hour, and even at that, we regularly had people asking us when the next presentation was going to be!

One of the most popular presentations was that given by integrated partner CityMax. As a Wholesale Marketer Certified Integrated Partner, members are able to build a fully functioning eCommerce website, fully stocked with Wholesale Marketer products, just as easy as it is to point and click!

We also made a couple of big announcements at eBay Live! 2005.

First, we've change the name of the company to Doba. Wholesale Marketer will remain the same as one part of our service (that being providing wholesale drop ship products), but the parent company which owns Wholesale Marketer is now Doba.

Second, we added another new supplier (this in addition to Supplier Orchid which we announced last month). Supplier Turquoise -- which specializes in refurbished computers desktops, laptops, and accessories -- is now live and ready to take your orders!

We also have several suppliers in line just finishing the small details of final integration. You'll see these new suppliers coming online in the upcoming months.

The Product Sourcing Workshop, hosted by Rob Cowie of Worldwide Brands, Lisa Suttora, and Wholesale Marketer cofounder and eBay PowerSeller Jeremy Hanks, was the most attended workshop at eBay Live! this year.

We're happy to report that this year's product sourcing workshop got great reviews.

Thanks to everybody who made it to eBay Live! and came to give us a visit. We're always happy to meet our members and hear their stories.

We'll see you again next year at eBay Live! 2006 in Las Vegas!
