Dear JitVerify customers and friends:
White Christmas has come in great volume during the last 24 hours on the US East Coast. It is predicted to keep snowing for another 18 hours, so it will be enough snow to last for quite a while. If you do not have snow, let me know and I will send you some pictures from my place.
The last few months have been very busy for me, so I have not been able to keep in touch with you as much as I like. A major change was my move from California (on the US West Coast) to Annapolis in Maryland (on the US East Coast near Washington DC). I moved in August and September with my family. I drove across the country so I could bring a car. Once I arrived in Annapolis, I had to buy a house for my family, move our furniture, plus all the activities associated with a long-distance move. I am now settled and fully back in business.
2009 has been a very good year for JitVerify in terms of growth. After the Chinese New Year is over in mid-February, we plan to add staff in our office in China. This will enable us to do more projects, provide faster response and give more attention to each customer. Our goal is to be the leader in Just-in-Time inspection and customer support. To earn this reputation, we need to add resources in a timely manner.
We have recently upgraded our website. In particular, we have added additional services that will enable us to move higher up on the “food chain.” We have added “full inspection” which includes social responsibility audit. We have also added expert QC inspection and training. This expert service will be delivered by a US person who will soon work with us in China.
Our website now also shows a Satisfaction Guarantee statement. We want to show you that we are confident in the quality of our inspections; however, when/if it is clear that we were deficient, we will pay back what you paid us. The exact details are on our legal page where we have the Terms and Conditions for our services. As we grow, we find that we need to be more formal to protect both JitVerify and our customers.
I believe the Christmas Season is one reason why our business has increased significantly recently. It also seems like there is a general increase in imports from China as the global economy is on the rebound.
Effective December 7, we formalized what we already have been doing for several weeks: We now bundle, by default, local travel costs and bank fees into the price we quote you. Previously, we typically added the travel costs as a separate item. Local travel cost is about $30 and bank fees are $15. So, our new price for a standard one-day inspection is now $223 for the man-power plus $30 for travel +$15 for bank fees for a total of $268 which is the default price we quote for a standard inspection. If your situation is different, for example if you send us a check, bank fees are not applicable.
I also like you to know that we offer 10% discount off the man-power costs to customers who use our services after three projects.
We like to update the testimonials from our customers on our website. If you can send me a short statement that we can put on our website, preferably including your email address and/or affiliation for everybody to see, we will give you $25 (~10%) discount on your next inspection project.
As always, feel free to contact me with your questions, pressing needs, or concerns.
Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
