UncommonGoods’ holiday sales nearly doubled from year before
Holiday sales UncommonGoods.com increased 85% from the year earlier, whiole January sales were up 94% over the year earlier, founder and CEO David Bolotsky tells Internet Retailer.
Specialty gift retailer Uncommon Goods published its first catalog last year and was pleased enough with the results that it plans to issue three this year.
While Bolotsky says the company is not yet profitable, full year revenues for 2001 rose 200% while losses were cut by 60%. "We are looking for a 75% sales increase this year and a 50% reduction in our loss,” he says. “So we are getting there."
Valentine’s Day is shaping up well, Bolotsky says. "We are off to a strong start, running about double the sales we had last year," he says. Hottest selling items are an inspirational paperweight, a red heart vase and The Worst-Case Scenario Handbook for Dating and Sex, Bolotsky says.
