Marketwired
San West, Inc. (OTCBB: SNWT), an emerging leader in the off-road
vehicle (ORV) industry, operator of the industry leading ORV
portal, www.CountyImports.com, and Buggy World retailers, announced
today that Jim Jordan, original founder and manager of Buggy World
will be rejoining the company.
Frank Drechsler, President and CEO of San West, Inc., said this
of the newest addition to the management team, "We could not be
more pleased that Mr. Jordan has decided to rejoin the company. No
one has as much experience, industry acumen or knowledge of our
products than the man that built the company $1.6 million in less
than three years. We have weathered a rough period in the industry
due to the recession and decreased consumer activity. With Jim
Jordan acting as general manager again using a firm and focused
plan, we are already moving forward."
When asked what it will take to get Buggy World back to its
pre-recession levels, Mr. Jim Jordan had this to say, "I see Buggy
World emerging in the next 6 months as a leader in our market. We
survived an industry climate where all the mom and pop stores shut
down. This gives Buggy World the opportunity to be the 'go to' for
the needs of our customers and the products we sell. There is no
doubt that the recession has been a tough time for all but as the
off road season ramps up, I see the increase of business daily. The
phone is ringing off the hook and we have people coming in excited
about going to the desert. Our parts and accessory sales are up and
the service bay is staying full. I think this season will be our
best in two years. And this year, we plan to start gearing up for
summer sales early this year by offering aggressive sale promotions
in March and April. This should prevent the typical slump between
seasons."
Mr. Jordan's Objectives For The Next 12 Months:
- Return brick and mortar sales to 'pre-recession' $1.6 million
mark.
- Reorganize company employees and increase Buggy World's sales
staff with seasoned professionals.
- Utilize quality, nontraditional financing to bring in new
powersport products from stable companies, thereby stocking
inventory with the best selling scooters, buggies, parts and
accessories.
- Promote established brand name products requested by our
customers and bring in well-known brands of new non-current
motorcycles and utv's which will be on a consignment basis with
major financing companies available to help move product.
- Increase sales and service in adjacent counties and by
offering service and parts staff new incentives for up selling and
increasing billable hours.
With over 30 years of experience in the off road industry, Jim
Jordan has won or placed in 11 class 7 open races in Baja Mexico
and 15 mini Buggy Races in Southern California.
