Just another WordPress.com weblog

Liquor Gear.com is a website that was created by an individual by the name of Jason Ballay who was a liquor buyer for a large retail company in Louisiana. In 2004 the retail company decided to pull out of the south forcing him to make a decision to move with the company or stay with his family and friends. Jason decided to stay with his family / friends and pursue his dreams of being an entrepreneur and passion for the liquor merchandise and bar decor industry and that is when www.liquorgear.com was born.

 

Here is a timeline of the events:

2004 – I decided to make my website a reality, I did some research on how to set up a website, learned how the following works in the industry domain names, hosting, and search engines and so on. Even took a class on HTML  programming at a night college

2005 – Started to get the ball rolling on finding items to sell and coming up with different ideas on how to make the site better while doing all the programming myself. Then Hurricane Katrina hit and this set me back for 2 years as you can see. I lost focused of my goals and dreams.

2006 – Not too much was done with Liquor Gear researched and worked on the site here and there while rebuilding my home.

2007 – The end of 2007 I decided where I wanted to go with the site and what products I wanted to sell. Liquor Gear.com became a LLC, registered with a couple of wholesalers and a dropshipper.

2008 – Beginning of 08 registered with more suppliers and a couple of  months later had my first sale.

2009 – to be continued
