Luggage Pros - 2005 - What a Year

A recap of a successful 2005 for Luggage Pros, an award winning retail website specializing in luggage and travel accessories. Luggage Pros announces sales increases, personnel additions and physical plant expansion during 2005.

Minnetonka, MN (PRWEB) February 10, 2006 -- Luggage Pros, one of the leading Internet marketers of luggage, has just completed an extremely successful year. “2005 was an incredible year for us. Not only did we nearly double annual sales in our fourth year in business, we also added important new staff members and increased our physical warehouse operations.” stated Dane Lundahl, Luggage Pros Operations Manager.

There are many reasons for business to continue growing. Luggage Pros feels one of the most important is the satisfaction its customers feel purchasing from them. Those customers are able to register their experiences with BizRate, which are then publicized on their website. “Anyone who wants to feel confident buying from us merely has to check out what our customers have to say about us.” says Jim Christy, Luggage Pros Customer Service Manager. “People want to know they are dealing with a reputable firm, and our customers are telling them that by their comments.” he further states.

LuggagePros expanded its warehouse and shipping operations. “We now have the space and capability to store and ship nearly everything we have on our website. Having this extra space allows us to offer such a wide variety of both Samsonite Luggage - www.luggagepros.com/mfgr_Samsonite/index.shtml and Travelpro Luggage - www.luggagepros.com/mfgr_Travelpro/index.shtml at discount pricing. It’s a great advantage for our customers,” Dane Lundahl said.    Luggage Pros also increased its staff in IT, shipping/warehousing and product merchandising.

The new Product Merchandising staff additions allows Luggage Pros to better manage the products on its website. “Any new product lines we take on are now easily added to our website. We have the skills in house to make additions, refinements or any other types of changes necessary to effectively market our product lines,” states Nick Lecy, Manager of Web Marketing.

Luggage Pros nearly tripled its warehouse space to reduce the time between when a customer places an order and the time it ships out to them. “There is less dependence on our vendors to drop ship for us now,” Lecy says.

Now 2006 is here and new opportunities and challenges will be presenting themselves to Luggage Pros - www.luggagepros.com. “We feel we have the staff, facilities, experience and product lines to move ahead and meet the demands of this year and beyond.” Lundahl states.
