Startup MonthlyExpress Sets Precedent: Selling Out Eleven Weeks After Launch


New York, NY (PRWEB) January 21, 2014

MonthlyExpress is undoubtedly the newcomer to the saturated subscription startup market. But Co-Founders Travis and Tara Loring have been quick to set their new service apart from other contenders since their launch in November of 2013. With boutique, hard-to-find, and most notably – full sized – products within their curated monthly collections, the service is more of a monthly indulgence than a subscription sample service like its competitors. The luxury experience caters to modern women with hectic lives. For the Founders, this dedication to delivering what MonthlyExpress calls “me time” to their female demographic has paid off. Just eleven weeks after their launch, the startup has completely sold out of their January collection.

But now’s not the time to stop and revel, says Co-Founder and CEO Travis Loring. “Our work is constantly evolving [to] discover and bring new products to our members… this is only the beginning of our journey.”

The Founders – both advertising and marketing executives in a previous life – center much of their company around the concept of “delivering happiness,” an industry term first coined by Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh. Products from around the world are hand-selected for consideration for one of their monthly collections, and undergo a vigorous screening process before they are approved for inclusion in the exclusive service. Customer service calls and emails are returned the same day, and always by the Founders themselves. All this effort, says Loring, is to “ensure that our members are as delighted as we are about the products we curate and the experience we provide. The level of experience we offer our members is – I’m confident – why women respond to our service.”

Loring and Loring also attribute much of this their early success to “simply following what [they] know” and “addressing a need that [they] experience[d] firsthand”. It appears women around the country would agree. Memberships are continuing to roll in despite several notes on their website that new members will only begin in February.

The startup has not been without its challenges. As with any startup, minimal capital was, and continues to be a concern. The Founders started the company with their own savings. MonthlyExpress is not venture-backed and currently has no plans to pitch for venture capital funding in the near future, but the Founders have stated that they are “evaluating all of [their] growth options.”

“We’re very much aware of the opportunities for expansion,” says Co-Founder and COO Tara Loring, “but what’s most important to us right now is continuing to deliver a luxury experience to our members that no other monthly service does. I’m confident that’s why we’ve had such tremendous response. So we’re going to keep on doing it.”

Quotes about moving on and quotes to live by after heartbreak

Heartbreak Quotes About Moving On Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.  I miss you like hell.

 

Heartbreak Quotes To Live By Real loss only occurs when you lose something that you love more than yourself.

 

Here we are standing at some point in our lives where both of us are clueless. Somehow passing this point makes it too hard to go back, back to days where nothing mattered, where we lived carefree. Maybe somehow we need to go back, maybe we just aren’t ready, I’m not sure and I’m scared. I’m scared to ruin what we’ve already started and scared to go on to something I can’t handle

 

I have waited for you for 2 years and I will wait for you for the rest of my life. Even if that means I have to give you up for the rest of my life, I will wait for you. I love you that much and nothing will ever change that

 

Let your tears come. Let them water your soul.

 

When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.

 

I wish everyone in the world was a different color, some shades would be similar, but there would only be two of the same color. The goal: to match colors. Along the way, there will be several people with similar shades, but none of your true color.

But when you find your matching color staring back at you – you’ll know.

 

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

 

Heartbreak Quotes about moving on – What right have I to grieve, who have not ceased to wonder?

 

You’ll never know how much you mean to me, as long as i live you’re still part of me. there was something about you that i can’t forget, you made my hopes and dreams become reality…i’ll always remember you and pray you’ll remember that somehow we were meant to be.

 

Heartbreak Quotes to live by – one can resist tears and ‘behave’ very well in the hardest hours of grief.  But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer… and everything collapses.

 

today was just one of those days where everything i did reminded me of you and every song i heard somehow related to you. i hate days like today, because they remind me of the one thing i don’t have
