My friend Jared Ramirez, CEO of Enviromedica (creator of awesome brands / products: Ancient Minerals, Prescript Assist, and Magnetic Clay Baths), has been telling me for the last year, "Patrick, you really need to take Jigsaw Health international...there's so much demand for good products from America."
I figured he was right, but it sounded like a lot of work and money to create awareness and demand in foreign markets.
About 10 days ago, I learned about this thing called the Internet... specifically, an amazing social network called Facebook...
Just kidding!!!! ;-)
In all seriousness, as a result of posting some new magnesium formula ideas (also posted here) to the Magnesium Advocacy Group on Facebook (53,000+ members strong), what I actually learned 10 days ago was there's already a ton of demand for Jigsaw Health products internationally! In 24 hours, my post had 500+ likes and 100+ comments.
And here's an example of what happened about a dozen times in the comments:
I also received a few emails like this:
Sweet!! :)
I immediately forwarded Perla's email to both companies, and Detox People in UK / EU responded in less than an hour, signing up as a distributor and placing their first order less than 24 hours later! Wow!!
In the past 8 days, Naturally Replenish in Australia / New Zealand, and Female Balance Shop in Sweden have also placed their first orders. AWESOME!!
I was curious, so I looked in our shipping software to see how many items we shipped internationally in Q1 2016 (January - March):
- Australia - 182
- Austria - 7
- Belgium - 12
- Canada - 254
- Denmark - 4
- France - 4
- Germany - 3
- Greece - 3
- India - 11
- Ireland - 13
- Israel - 4
- Italy - 1
- Japan - 220
- Kenya - 2
- Malaysia - 20
- Malta - 41
- Netherlands - 121
- New Zealand - 25
- Singapore - 64
- Slovenia - 4
- Spain - 7
- Sweden - 11
- Switzerland - 4
- Taiwan - 43
- Thailand - 12
- United Arab Emirates - 3
- United Kingdom - 61
I share this data to encourage other international distributors in these countries to consider signing up with Jigsaw.
Because keep in mind, these items were shipped from USA to people who were willing to pay expensive international shipping charges, customs fees, etc. in order to use our products.
And therefore, my hope is that in-country distributors will sell 5 - 10 times these amounts, if not more, by us pointing international customers your way.
If you're interested -- or know a distributor that might be interested -- please contact us today.
Here's the list of Jigsaw Health International Distributors, which is being updated almost daily. :)
