From Russia with Love: Tagua Beads reach Russian Market!

Hello Dear friends,

First of all please accept my apologies for not writting before, but I was too busy getting everything ready for our Tagua Beads Catalog 2011. Actually it should be seed beads since we also carry coconut beads. It has been quite an adventure, but I will share about this in my next posts.

Today’s tittle is the same as the famous movie of british agent 007 (by the way, I am a big fan of his movies). The reason is that a few months we got contacted by some people from Russia asking for Tagua Beads. After checking in our records we out it was Alexander, who bought beads from us back in Mar 2010. After catching up, we found out she and her partner were doing very nice with their bead shop, that tagua demand was increasing and they needed more stocks. They bought quite a large arsenal of beads, over 80kilos. Very surprising for a 2nd order!

We took advantage of the opportunity and asked Alexander to answer our questions about their experiences with new business, and here is what she shared with us:
