We thought it might be useful to document the process of starting an online business from scratch. Jim Coudal and Steve Delahoyde will periodically post here about issues involving our product and business plan. Hopefully things will go well but even if the whole thing goes down in flames, it’ll probably be interesting to watch.

A Sunny Ray in Raleigh

I've never been to Raleigh, North Carolina, but if it's filled with talented and friendly people like Nancy Ray, maybe it's high time for a visit. Nancy's a photographer in the city, shooting weddings and portraits (and working out of her brand new home studio), and has been using our cases to package her photos for her clients. She took a few moments out of her busy schedule to talk to us about her work and why she uses Jewelboxing:

"I am Nancy Ray, a photographer based out of the lovely city of Raleigh, NC. I love all things vintage, timeless, classy and whimsical, and I want to reflect that in my photography. My photographs are based on the belief that they are to be beautiful art, as well as something you can look at in 50 years and fall madly in love with all over again."

"The beauty of Jewelboxing is the freedom it gives you. I create DVD cases that 'wow' my clients, with beautiful images, design and text that fits my branding. They are, to repeat my loves: vintage, timeless, classy and whimsical, because I design them to be that way. My favorite part about Jewelboxing is how professional and sturdy they are, with neither form nor function sacrificed! It is the perfect combination and I get so many compliments on the cases alone. A big internet hug to Jewelboxing for what they've added to my business! I'd recommend them any day."

A big internet hug right back to Nancy, with many more to follow for those who just ordered in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Canton, Brooklyn, Lecanto, Portland, Plano, Raleigh, Courtenay, Port Charlotte, Westfield, Westbury, Smyrna, Sault Sainte Marie, Sacramento, Jersey City, San Francisco, Suwanee, Huntersville, Atlanta, Boulder, San Leandra, Wilmington, Seattle, Baton Rouge, New York, and Union Town.

Well-Crafted Accompaniment

Alex Gould, who we profiled for Case Study 11 about his documentary An Interview with James Jarvis has put together what looks like another great film and another terrific case design. The Organist tells the story of cinema organist Dave Nicholas, who has played along with motion pictures at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall Cinema for twenty years, as well as church services for an additional ten years. Here's the trailer for the film:

And here's a look at Alex's packaging for it, beautifully put together using our King cases:

There are lots more shots of the case here on his site.

Thanks a million to Alex for all his fantastic work and here's hoping similarly attractive packages are being assembled right now in Santa Rosa, Lethbridge, the Bronx, Toronto, East Dulwich, Orlando, Portland, Chelsea, Edina, Laval, Glace Bay, Dundas, Burnaby, Regina, Plano, Bloomfield, Logan, Notre Dame, Salt Lake City, Libertyville, Orem, and Cottonwood Heights.

A Can't Miss Multi-Level Packaging Opportunity

Because we think it's every person's destiny to own just as many boats, cars, and tropical isle dream homes as we do, we've been thinking here at Jewelboxing HQ about how we can help you maximize your potential and create just enough synergy to explode your current revenue dynamics and live your dreams by earning as much as $70,000 per month with only an hour of work per week, tops. We're still not entirely finished with this exciting profitability opportunity, so in the interim (and while you save the $299 we'll be asking for as an initial startup fee), we thought we'd share a note from filmmaker Byword Smith about how he's putting our King cases to great use with his latest project:

"I'm a stand-up comedian and filmmaker out of Washington, DC. I just produced a comedy short called Hopes and Schemes, which is about a man who gets caught up in a unique "business" opportunity that he hopes will help him reach his dream, but ends up taking him further away."

"Hopes and Schemes was a two year process for me. Working in multiple areas of the digital film production process was mandatory if I wanted to articulate the vision I had for the story, and also make a great product along the way. I found out about Jewelboxing years ago through a friend and knew that if I ever created a dvd, I'd consider those cases."

"The reason I chose Jewelboxing over other DVD cases was because I want to stand out as a filmmaker and make a memorable first impression to people when they get my film. I want people to say to themselves, "I want this!" I've already received many compliments on the cases. What I also love about Jewelboxing is the all-in-one setup that's provided; between the templates and the perforated paper, my house is a one-stop shop for DVD creation!"

Thanks a million to Byword for dropping us a line (here's the Hopes and Schemes trailer) and here's to hoping hard work is being one-stop shopped in Edmonton, Glendale, Toronto, St. Catharines, Clovis, Minneapolis, Dallas, San Francisco, Virginia Beach, Goleta, Tucson, Santa Rosa, Benbrook, Meriden, Brooklyn, Spokane, Mission Viejo, Janesville, Portland, Huntington Beach, Odessa, Quebec City, Vestal, Honolulu, Phillipsburg, Lomond, Welland, and Panama City.
