Vinko’s Thoughts On…

It has been a long time coming.

The highly anticipated launch of the Michael Wong Big Band’s debut album, “Cool Rhythm”, will be released through a celebration party tonight at the “Academy of Performing Arts” in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

Check out the promo video to get a glimpsed of what to expect on the album.

I was informed today that my photo was chosen for inclusion in the newly released fourth edition of the “Schmap New York Guide”.

Although, this is not the first time one of my photos had been chosen for publication, it is always nice to know that someone appreciate my visual expression.

Today, while walking through a local Fortress store (appliance store), I noticed something very familiar on a promotion television for a DeLonghi Espresso coffee maker display. They were replaying continuously the video that I had posted on YouTube, which thus far viewed by 270 thousand people.

Two weeks ago it even made it onto the site BestOfYouTube.Com.

Another month another milestone has been reached for my online store. Today I reached 2000 feedback points on eBay while still maintaining a 100% rating. According to most, maintaining a “100% rating” with such high number of feedbacks (2186) is a rare achivement on eBay.

As you will see from the actual comments of past customers, much of these feedbacks had been the result of the customer service delivered.

This further proofs that a customer focused business would be more successful than simply selling to make money. If I just focused on delivering the best quality products at the most competitive price, without also providing the excellent customer service I would not have the high percentage (30%) of return customers and referrals.

We have achieved yet another great milestone on eBay from my online activities there (Vinko’s Treasures).

Aside from gaining the status of “Power Seller - Silver level” after only 3 months in business, we have also been able to maintain an amazing “100% Positive Feedback” on eBay for the past 9.5 months in business. According to many, apparently this is quite a feat.

For those, potential customers, who are considering purchasing from our online shop here on this web site. Please do go checkout the 1884 Feedbacks on eBay. These comments are just some of the many we have received, from the 1000s of customers we have delivered our quality shopping experience to so far.
