BRUNDELA'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH & VISION FOR TRADING GUILD (APRIL 2015)
Thank you Pall for the warm welcome and thank you to the Glenrill community for placing your trust in me for this exciting endeavour! And exciting it will be! I would like to share with you my vision of how we will expand and grow our reach in the global market. With Pall's help we have devised a strong four Rs approach designed to maximize our revenue, reach, reputation and retail.
First, we will be building out our offerings in auctions. We will continue to hold auctions such as the one today on a weekly basis but will also offer handling auctions for out partners. At our auctions, we will include items given to us to sell and remit the profits, minus a small fee. This will allow our partners to benefit from our reputation and advertisements to have their items reach a larger population and gain a better profit!
That brings us to our second r, reach, which is to open up trading routes, the first of which is from Glenrill to Michel Delving. This route of about 120 miles will take two weeks to travese. We will have official trading locations during this two week journey, at various cities along the route, for all of laurelin to to join us in trading goods or stories. Depending on the feedback we get, we may open up more routes as there is great room for expansion in this!
Thirdly, for reputation, we will attempt to fill a niche that hasn't been done before. We will open up the guild to investors! Investors will deposit funds with us which we will then devote to our large community of crafters and sentries to turn your investment into double, triple or more! The longer the investment, the more we both profit!
Lastly, my vision for the future is that of replacing Lalia's market and the skirmish camps with the Glenrill Trading Company. Both Laila's market and the camps definitely fill a needed space but they use a specific currency that the common people do not necessarily have. We will stock dyes, cosmetics, class items and more available for purchase with regular gold, silver and copper currency. We will have prices available for all to see so bring your money and what you want and walk out happy. All of this without using the auction house but instead a quick conversation or mail message to one of us!
Thank you for listening to me and my plans for the Trading Company. With your help and patronage, we can realize increase revenue, a larger reach, a greater reputation and break into retail! We will take the Company into an exciting direction where all profit!
