Success Story - How Ivan B. Found Success!
“I reached out by phone and online to lots of family around the country. I have a few family members who are veterans, and they purchased several wreaths each. They also shared my goal (my initial goal) of selling $1,000 worth of Fallen Hero Wreaths with friends of theirs, who also purchased wreaths! I wasn’t expecting that, but it was helpful! I passed $1,000 in sales right away on Friday and decided to keep going. I doubled my goal to $2,000 and went door to door ALL DAY on Saturday and Sunday. I don’t know exactly how many houses I went to, but it was definitely more than 500. I walked for about 15 hours. My little brother went with me and my Mom watched. Many people said this was awesome. One person asked me to put a wreath on a specific grave, which I will definitely do. Some people told me they were veterans, and some people told me they were Eagle Scouts!”
Congratulations again Ivan, and to all of our top sellers!
