BOB Young Entrepreneur's On The Rise
2015.04.12 10:36
I caught up with the new entrepreneurs (Terry and Sherry Braley) this January at a Biker Rally. Soon after talking to some fellow riders they were telling me about Terry and Sherrys new web site (Road Rash Apparel) and how low their rates have been on their Leather Apparel. So right after digging via the crowd I ultimately met up with them. I introduced myself and we sat down and must have talked for over 2 hours about their new business. Effectively, they talked. I asked Terry and Sherry why they started their company and WHY! Do you sell your apparel so cheap?
Terry Properly, we had been on the World wide web a single evening searching for some leather jackets and chaps to buy. We must have searched for three hours searching at what seemed to be every web site there was to look at and I couldnt believe the rates of some of them. I know you get what you pay for, but damn? I dont want to pay for the complete cow!
Sherry It appears that all the cheep leather was that patched leather or some get in touch with it Diamond Cut leather. We werent interested in that. Not to say theres anything incorrect with it. If thats what you like, then get it. To each its own.
Terry- Yeah. I had asked around about what kind of jacket to buy. The majority of the riders I had asked, told me to get one particular that was created for riding. You know, just in case you lay your bike down. Should you desire to be taught new resources on Terry Goldberg, there are many on-line databases you should consider investigating. And patched leather wasnt the best way to go.
Anyway, I created the comment that someone demands to commence selling this stuff that caters to us poor bikers.
Sherry I looked more than at Terry and stated, We can do it
Terry A week later I quit my job and began developing the web site. I did A LOT of study on Leather. Types, thickness of it and where it comes from. I was nearly sick of leather following about 3 days. Anyway, we decided we wanted to purchase our leather from an American produced manufacturer and I ended up finding a company in Spokane WA that had what we have been seeking for. They manufacture leather apparel produced for bike riders. And its damn very good leather. And Ill tell you. What I pay for the jackets and what I sell them for, we dont make a big profit on them.
Now that we've covered these elements of Biker Shirts, Leather Jackets, Motorcycle Apparel, Boots, Chaps, Vests, Leather Lingerie, let's turn to some of the other aspects that need to have to be deemed.
Sherry Yea, had been not in it to get rich. Just make a tiny cash and aid out our fellow bikers.
Terry Because weve went live on the Net we have sold a lot more T-Shirts than jackets. Thats okay. I feel when people see our rates they feel its cheep leather and stray away from it. But its Best High quality Leather! You cant discover our type jackets on the web for a much better price I feel
Properly with no going into the whole 2-hour conversation we had. We continued to speak and they told me much more about what they sold on their site. T-Shirts, Leather Lingerie, Boots, Chaps, Vests and the list went on. Terry said appropriate now we sale over 700 kinds of t-shirts and program on adding more. By the time we get done, we will have effectively more than 1500. Thats a lot of damn shirts
These had been two of the friendliest individuals I have ever met. Both Terry and Sherry are from Georgia and reside in Douglasville Ga. And you could tell that these were just two folks truly trying to look out for fellow bikers and our shallow pockets..
