LuggagePros announces sales increases, personnel additions and physical plant expansion during 2005.

February 6, 2006 - LuggagePros, one of the leading internet marketers of luggage, has just completed an extremely successful year. "2005 was an incredible year for us. Not only did we nearly double annual sales in our fourth year in business, we also added important new staff members and increased our physical warehouse operations." stated Dane Lundahl, LuggagePros Operations Manager.

There are many reasons for business to continue growing. LuggagePros feels one of the most important is the satisfaction its customers feel purchasing from them. Those customers are able to register their experiences with BizRate, which are then publicized on their website. "Anyone who wants to feel confident buying from us merely has to check out what our customers have to say about us." says Jim Christy, LuggagePros Customer Service Manager. "People want to know they are dealing with a reputable firm, and our customers are telling them that by their comments." he further states.

LuggagePros expanded its warehouse and shipping operations. "We now have the space and capability to store and ship nearly everything we have on our website. It's a great advantage for our customers," Dane Lundahl said. LuggagePros also increased its staff in IT, shipping/warehousing and product merchandising.

The new Product Merchandising staff additions allows LuggagePros to better manage the products on its website. "Any new product lines we take on are now easily added to our website. We have the skills in house to make additions, refinements or any other types of changes necessary to effectively market our product lines," states Nick Lecy, Manager of Web Marketing.

LuggagePros nearly tripled its warehouse space to reduce the time between when a customer places an order and the time it ships out to them. "There is less dependence on our vendors to drop ship for us now," Lecy says.

Now 2006 is here and new opportunities and challenges will be presenting themselves to LuggagePros. "We feel we have the staff, facilities, experience and product lines to move ahead and meet the demands of this year and beyond." Lundahl states.
