Revenue is Growing!
With a blue ocean of opportunity still ahead of us, we are wrapping Q1 2018 having built a strong foundation in the past 18 months. Twenty-seven ideas that started out on paper are now branded Jane West products with established sell-through in hundreds of stores worldwide, earning a 54 percent average profit margin. And as we add sales channels and increase the volume of products sold, this number will only increase – especially with additional licensing contracts that provide over 90 percent profit margins. (Stay tuned for more on that next week!)
We have established strong sales traction and metrics continue to improve month over month. What follows is a snapshot of our growth...
