Skis for a good cause.
The Super 7 is the ski to have this year. Everybody raves about them. Ski shops can't keep them in stock. And thanks to Rossignol's warranty, I had a pair of them show up on my doorstep a couple months ago to replace the Rossy Steeze that blew up on me last year. I was stoked.
But when I was honest with myself, I didn't NEED the skis. And it would be really nice to throw some more money into Nivi Empowerment. I finally, reluctantly, put them up for sale.
A guy emailed me about them and I noticed that his email was from Welikesmall.com. Ever heard of them? I hadn't. I looked them up and found that they are one of the best digital design consulting companies in the world and are located in Salt Lake City. I proposed a trade: the skis for some internet marketing work. He said that he would prefer to buy the skis, but maybe he could do some pro bono work for Nivi Empowerment.
I met with the guy and he bought the skis. His name is Mike, the president of Welikesmall.com. Really nice guy, great at what he does, and he loves the idea of Nivi Empowerment and wants to help out.
What does this mean for Nivi Empowerment Initiative? Good things. It means that we can reach more customers, sell more product, hire people to help in India, and ultimately change more lives. We are stoked to have his help.
You (yes, you) can help too. Search for Nivi Empowerment Initiative on Facebook and become a fan. Tell your friends about us. And send us suggestions at info@niviempowerment.com.
