I respect your attitude Matt
Not all investors are like that tho.
An investor who truly understands the industry will know better than to start skimping on the formula to increase margins in this day and age
If you guys could keep your products in stock 80+% of the time then your yearly revenue would probably increase substantially (I’m not sure exactly how much of the time your products are usually out of stock).
Invest some money in an initially aggressive advertising campaign to introduce more people to Evomuse and your regular consumer base would probably get substantially bigger too. This too would increase your yearly revenue and the increase in production volume needed to satiate the demand may also enable you to acquire ingredients for less, thus reducing per units costs, which would naturally slightly increase your margins and increase revenue.
If those two things are done then your financial position would become improve by a lot, helping to pay off the initial investment.
I actually happen to own a company that helps SMEs (small and medium sized companies) grow and/or start doing business abroad. We also offer incubation services.
We could have a look at your company if you’d like and see if we can help.
Drop me a PM anytime man
Oh and regardless of my offer, I’d really consider bringing in an extra worker for Evomuse, even just part-time. Someone to help you get orders processed, packed and sent off, to help you get products mixed and bottled up, and to help you get through your emails.
I know how difficult it can be to stay on top of your emails if you’re a busy man which is why I’m getting an assistant myself, and I’m 22 and a part-time student lol.
If your customers run out of your products then what they aren’t doing is consuming your products, which means lost revenue for you. If they spend 3 months a year on average without certain items, then you’re both losing out on 3 months’ worth of opportunity. You lose out on 3 months’ worth of consumption (per customer) and they lose out on 3 months’ worth of additional progress (gains, cuts, intangibles, etc).
The increase in yearly revenue will probably more than pay for the new temp’s salary
All of this will help to unlock Evomuse’ vast potential
