Soaring into Summer

Here's an update from The Drone Doctor. We had a really good winter and spring has been promising. We celebrated a year in business which was a milestone, especially given the failure rate of new businesses. We have also started a relationship with Action Imports out of Grand Prairie, Texas. Seems like they don't know what to do with their returned merchandise and do not have a tech support department. That's right up our alley and we have begun accepting calls for them along with returned merchandise. We are again looking at expansion as we slowly grow the business, but remain thwarted due to the workday (weekends) and the need for someone bilingual. Additionally. trusting someone to act on our behalf will require a level of trust we may not be comfortable with. Regardless of the challenges we remain excited and motivated about the business. A side benefit has been an excess of inventory which has allowed us to share and grow our hobby by offering items either for free or heavily discounted. We look forward to the future and will update soon!

Apologies and an Update

It has been helter skelter here as we have gone through some personal changes and had a very successful holiday season. That has kept me from posting a blog from The Drone Doctor and I apologize.

We received our largest pallet load of drones yet just prior to the holiday season. What followed was semi organized chaos as we struggled to inventory and repair the new load of drones. Additionally we remained busy all through November and December, capped off by an absolutely sensational Christmas eve. We are excited about the future, but are struggling with how to increase sales. Hiring a crew would help, but finding reliable, bilingual folks is difficult.

We have learned a lot since this journey began just over a year ago. We are better at repairing and a whole lot better at flying drones. We have made a lot of friends and our customers seem to really like us. I have established a relationship with a dependable wholesaler and, just recently, have started a promising discourse with another. We have all the inventory we can handle; now we just have to figure out how to market it.

I will update soon. Keep The Drone Doctor in mind should you find yourself in the market for a drone!
