Busy and good day. I'll hit the highlights. We stopped by Marlon's little DVD business and he is doing well. He used to sell around 25 DVD/CD's a day. He is between 30 and 50 now and he hit a new record of 73 last week! Pretty cool. We have also helped him create a little label he can put on his DVD's to help establish his brand. He is now the only DVD store in Chinandega (and there are probably 20) that has its own label and brand on the merchandise they sell.
Lunch was kind of exciting because I ordered cow tongue. Definitely hard to think about what it actually is, but it still tastes good. I figured I'm not going to have much of a chance to eat it again so what the heck. I really did like it.
This afternoon we helped a guy named Chamorro build his own little website/blog. He has a couple of different businesses and he does a good job. He wants to develop an conveyor belt type business that could not only make him a lot of money, but could also employ over 20 people. One thing he said he wanted help with when we met with him was a website. Neither of us really knew how to do that but after a couple days we realized we've learned how to blog and there is no reason he couldn't have his own blog for his business. We got that set up for him and taught him how to continue to work on and develop it.
After that there was a younger gentleman that wanted some help with some marketing materials. He is an electrician by trade and seems to do pretty OK but he wanted some help making some business cards. The first thing we had to do was come up with a business name. After that it wasn't all that tough but thank goodness for Microsoft Word templates. He seemed really happy about his new business name and business cards.
