How To Succeed Faster: Easy Start Up Kit

Our Easy Business Start-Up Kit is our #2 best-selling item! Why? We work hard to make your selling of African products easy, fun, and profitable. It is by working with customers over the last 13 years that we’ve gained the knowledge to put together several “start-up” kits. These kits make getting into your own African products business quick and affordable.

However, owning your own business takes work. The rewards can be immeasurable. Our kits help you to get started quickly so you are able to hit the ground running.

Some customers who recently purchased the kit had this to say:

“The start-up kit that I purchased is great! I love the products that are included in this starter package. I have already started telling my friends about the products and will have my first home party to introduce them them to these amazing products. Thank you for following up.” – Ponteciana from Phoenix, AZ

“I made two sales the very first day that I received my kit and placed my first order the next day. I am reading up on and trying to get familiar with the products.” – Walter from Kissimmee, FL

It’s a new year! What are you waiting for? Take that next step in owning your own business. To learn more about our Easy Start Up Kit, or to order now go here.

Giving Back & Happy New Year!

It’s hard to believe that a new year is upon us already. Hopefully, we’ve helped you grow your African products business this year and you are excited for the possibilities to grow even more in 2012.

As you are aware, a percentage of all purchases goes to help various orphanage and education projects throughout parts of Africa. There are hundreds of young people who have meals each day because of the work we do here and by your selling African products.

Together with your help, we’ve made really good things possible for kids in Africa this past year:

• There were 3 additional orphanages that were supported by our work this year: SMK Farms & Orphanage in Uganda, Action International in Uganda, and Lake Tanganyika Orphanage & School in Zambia. You can read more about each here.

• As of late December, Africa Imports total charitable contributions for 2011 are just over $68,000.00.

So as you look back and reflect on the year, please know that your purchases have helped make a real difference in the lives of kids in Africa who don’t have much hope without this support.

Happy New Year, and thanks again.

For further information on all the projects we support, click here.
