P&R
Marketing, L.L.C. Of Idaho was formed in January of 2000. It
is made up of two partners; Jeff Pedersen and David Roper. The
decision that these two semi-old guys made to expand their world
into the Internet was based on two separate events.
Jeff
began his work life as a mechanic of diesel trucks. A few years
back he ventured into the sales end of those big trucks. He
always felt that there were other ways to use his talents. In
September of the year 1999, he attended a seminar on Internet
commerce. He went there primarily to find out how to sell his
trucks online. He came away with much more. He decided to purchase
some electronic storefronts and then set out to market them.
One of the people he contacted was David. His working life had
been in a family owned chain of clothing stores. At almost the
precise time Jeff contacted David, the decision to close the
clothing stores had been made. Instead of selling an electronic
storefront for clothing, Jeff sold David on a new career. Having
been close friends for a number of years, a partnership began.
Learning all they could about this new Internet adventure from
some top professionals, they began to build an e-commerce website.
That
site was launched in March of 2000. From a beginning of no traffic
at all, their website began to receive more and more visitors.
By staying on top of the "game" of website design
and marketing, that website has undergone a number of complete
design changes. By 2001 The
Idaho Shop.com
had received thousands and thousands of page views. The work
to improve that website continues.
In
September of 2001 P&R Marketing,L.L.C. was commissioned
to do a web site for Sun
Valley Potatoes.
In the period of time since their site has been online, this
local cooperative has created customers from all over the world.
By
the spring of 2003 Edd's
Golf Carts
began a business of customizing golf carts in Southern Idaho
and a new website was created. In only a few months traffic
to that site has been way above the expectations of the partners.
They
are setting a course to help others achieve what they know to
be the truth. The Internet is young and full of flaws, but the
future is unlimited.
