South Jersey-based WholesaleForEveryone.com Grows to Be a Premiere Online Wholesaler of Bandanas
Airtime Corp. finds its growth in the bandana business by selling online through WholesaleForEveryone.com. Online retailer becomes a leading distributor of bandanas nationwide.
Hainesport, NJ (PRWEB) December 19, 2007 -- Airtime Corporation, the owner and operator of prominent and fast-growing Internet sales business WholesaleForEveryone.com has become one of the leading bandana suppliers nationwide.
Airtime is a wholesaler that sells bandanas to customers worldwide, but which has seen its sales of bandanas in the United States grow almost 10 fold in the last 5 years.
"In the apparel business there are few items that have lasted the test of time. The bandana is one of them," says Daniel Weaver, founder and president of Airtime Corporation.
The company offers the classic bandana for the neck and head, the hankie bandana which can be used for the face and as a napkin, and the flag bandana, which is typically purchased to highlight patriotism or a cause. They are purchased by men, women, children, and for pets. Orders are available by the piece, dozen, or case and quantity discounts are provided.
"You would be surprised how many people love to wear a bandana or use a bandana for some purpose," said Weaver.
Weaver has seen his company grow from a business out of his garage in Burlington County, New Jersey to a multi-million dollar business. His company, Airtime Corporation, based in Hainesport, NJ, is still small enough that the founder himself often works doing shipping and customer service tasks. Each of the 15 employees who work there does several non-specialized jobs.
But the quaintness of its size probably won't last. Airtime Corp. has grown company revenue over 750% between 2002 and 2007. It has succeeded by focusing on high quality merchandise at wholesale prices.
"In the beginning, it was just my friend Mike, my wife, Elaine and me," said Weaver. "We were doing on average 40 bandana orders per week. And now, typically, we distribute about 350-500 per week. Bandana Orders make up a significant portion of the business. Our warehouse is always busy," said Weaver.
"The source of our growth has been repeat customers and Internet marketing. We typically have what they want in stock and in quantity. Item availability and satisfaction is the cornerstone of the business," added Weaver. "Our goal moving forward will be to grow the bandana business even further with the Bandana.com domain name and via our Custom Print Shop. We look forward to continued growth."
Airtime Corporation began operation in 1996, as an Internet and telecom service provider. The company changed course in 2002 and now provides solid color, paisley, triangle, and specialty bandanas of all sizes, colors and in quantities as large as 600 per case. It offers novelty designs of all types, from an American Western or patriotic flag theme, to personalized designs. The company provides this apparel accessory to individuals, as well as small, medium, and large businesses, and to the entertainment industry, where bands and singers need their name on something beyond a T-shirt quickly.
Custom-printing services are available for its solid, open-center paisley, child and oversized bandanas and T-shirts to businesses, schools, government, and Fortune 500 companies.
Some of the projects over the years have included custom bandanas for Heineken, Levi Strauss & Co., Volkswagen, Lego, Zumiez, MoneyGram International, Castrol Limited, Ryobi, Ridge Tool Company, Scunci/Conair, Fall Out Boy, Alex' Lemonade Stand, and the Miller Brewing Co./Miller Lite.
