i'm not a '69 guy but over here is some great info. http://www.concoursmustang.com do some searching there and you will find lots of info.
Need to get some questions answered on my quest to restore my mustang. First, painting the undercarriage,I have MCA restoration guide. The underside is in primer only? Some overspray and sound deadening? The cut off between black in engine bay and undercarriage? Anyone have pictures of concours resto undercarriage?
Also, its a convertable w/ a 428. Q code with hood for R code. Could this be factory? All looks original.
Lastly, structural support in rear axel tunnel. Assumed for torque created by big block combined with a convertable. These supports go from frame rail to frame rail in trunk and undercar. Thanks,Jeff

Thanks Fred, You can see I'm new. Was going to convert this to Shelby, but to rare. Have restored cars before but not to the extent I think I'm headed on this one. New territory. I'm sure more questions. Jeff
Gosh, Jeff, your description has got me drooling all over my keyboard!
How about posting a few pics of your 69!?!?!??!!!
2007 Grabber Orange Pony Package Convertableand a 2009 Grabber Orange 45th Anniversary V6 coupe.
Its all in pieces now. On a rotisiere in my garage. Bought several cars in my life, burned most of the time. My own stupidity. Wasn't looking for this car, it came to me. 69000 miles. Bet my life original from reciepts that came with it. Got Marti report. 1 of 9. 1969 mustang GT conv 428 Cobra Jet 4 Speed. All there Matching #s. Have to admit, even though 4th restoration, little nervous about getting it right. Merry Christmas, Jeff PS not much of a photographer. Thought about this after I started disassembly. Already my first mistake. Have taken plenty of disassembly.
Hey Jeff, If you can find the Mustang Monthly June 1997 issue, there is a superb article of Bob Perkins Boss 302. Most 69-70 undercarriages,whether it be a Mach 1,boss,etc, where basically the same. I know that they are some differences from plant to plant,but, this issue has some superb color photography and descriptions at each photo and also a starting place for you. You can start with ebay to find back issues of Mustang Monthly, I have found ALOT of back issues that way.
Also, I have a back issue of Fabulous Mustangs and Exotic Fords(March 1990) that has an article of the same Boss 302 of Bob Perkins'. This issue may be a little hard to find since they were discontinued about 15 years ago.
And, as stated in this thread, concours mustang forum is a great place for indepth info. By the way, Bob Perkins shows up on concours Mustang forum on occasion to answer questions. Feel free to look at my 69 Mach 1 under "My Garage" of my profile ....Hope this helps.

Almost everything your asking about is dependent on when and where your car was assembled If you can provide those we can provide better and more correct responses. For example if you have a San Jose built M code you don't want to be looking at details of a Deaborn built Boss or even a 70 built anywhere - Will just confuse you
As for the Q code with a shaker it was likely IMHO added - you can confirm how it was delivered by contacting Kevin Marti and getting a report on the car if you provide the VIN and a few dollars
Can't recall of any additonal support in the rear axle tunnel there are some added support to the rear frame rails on a CJ - and if its a 4 speed you have the rear shock mount for the one staggered shock but not sure if I would include that as structural support
Hey Jeff, give Bob a call, he's the expert at 60-70 undercarriages. I've called him more than once over the past 18 years for help with my undercarriage. He was more than willing to help me. If you need his number,let me know, and I'll PM it to you. Then they won't be any confusion

BOURBON — Everyone can "Dig Into Reading" this summer at the Bourbon Public Library. Registration begins May 28 for a summer of fun and prizes. During June: • Babies birth-2 years old can track reading/activities to be entered into a drawing for grand prizes from Misty Werly Photography, Blessed with Bows, Goodies Galore Cookies and Tupperware. Books read will also count toward the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program.
Several Triton High School students were honored last week at the Kosciusko Youth Leadership Academy graduation. These students participated in leadership activities with students from other high schools in Kosciusko County. Graduates from Triton are, pictured in no particular order, Ashley Borg, Mikayla Harker, Taylor Hatfield, Dean Howdeshell, Mallorie Jennings, Allie Kann, Benjahmin Perkins, and Holly Stogsdill.
BOURBON — The Triton School Corporation has announced plans to participate in the Summer Food Service Program. Free meals will be made available to all children, 1 to 18 years, and to persons older than 18 years who are enrolled in a state-approved educational program for the mentally or physically disabled. Free meals will be provided to all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. There will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
Triton High School held its prom Saturday, April 20. Prom royalty were, from left, prom prince, Jayden Mosier; princess, Emilee Koontz; queen, Marissa Ross; and king, Clay Yeo.
BOURBON — Members of Triton's Destination ImagiNation team in the Project Outreach Challenge: Reel to Real were recently selected to receive a $2,500 grant from the Marshall County Community Foundation. The team, Bourbon Community Awareness, had to define a need within its community, enlist community partners, and document its progress for the Destination ImagiNation program. This team chose to have a mural painted in town, and sought out a location (Bourbon Subway), obtained permission from the owner, secured a muralist, and has begun to seek funds to complete the project.
BOURBON — Personnel matters were on the agenda last Tuesday night as the Bourbon Town Council met in regular session. The Council accepted the resignation of police patrolman Ben McIntyre, who is moving to the Plymouth Police Department. Discussion ensued about his replacement and whether to hire a full-time officer or retain a four-person force and supplement with part-time officers. The issues involve budgeting for benefits on the one hand and scheduling complications on the other. The matter was tabled to be taken under advisement.
BOURBON — The Triton School Board took definitive action to solve the budget shortfall at its regular meeting Monday night. As a result, two full-time teaching positions will be eliminated this fall. Superintendent Donna Burroughs, presenting the report of the Finance Committee, which also reflected her own recommendations, detailed four main actions which were approved unanimously by the five-member board. According to Burroughs, though, no teachers will actually be cut.
BOURBON — The Bourbon Public Library is celebrating National Library Week by offering a weeklong book sale ($1 for one bag), daily drawings for kids, a family movie night Tuesday, April 16 at 6 p.m., a special story time for preschoolers from 2-2:45 p.m. with local EMS and K9 units, and a family game day Saturday, April 20 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. (bring your own board/card game or play one that the library already has).
BOURBON — A local church is looking at selling property it uses infrequently to an individual wanting to open a wedding chapel in Bourbon. Brent Leichty, pastor of New Wine Church in Bourbon, visited the Marshall County commissioners meeting Monday to ask them how to proceed in a somewhat unusual situation. The deed for the parcel that the church sits on includes wording that indicates the property must be used for "church purposes only." If the property is used for anything other than church purposes, its ownership will revert to Marshall County.
BOURBON — "Total immersion in a bygone culture is a good way to learn to read." So says Mrs. Susie Mullin, who teaches fifth grade STARS at Triton Elementary School. As the teacher responsible for the social studies area, she uses the immersion technique to create a vital interest in reading.

Im going to go out on a limb here and write a few things that might help someone who is either ''forced ''to hunt public land...because of no access to private land....or the guys who are new to bowhunting or looking for advice on parks in general.
First off when i say scout ..i am refering to boots on the ground....i prefer to scout alone...it works and i get more knowledge quicker of new woods or the lay of the land....always ..always get a park map...talk to the park personel at least once..and you must buy a compass....you must have one regardless of the acreage...at night while tracking a deer it is easy to get dis-oriented. Learn your North/South/East/West...you should be looking at your map ,while holding your compass....use it often before season during and after.
Second piece of advice ...i do this every time...walk the park boundary...learn where it is ...and look for trees that have marks from climbers....or bow hooks that were left on the trees....ask yourself...why were guys set up here?...where these good spots?? which way would the wind be if you were in that tree??? again look at your compass.
I also am looking for stands on the private side of the boundary..i am NOT walking on private land but again on the actual boundary....it is important because land that buts parks is usually capitalized on by savy hunters that let the ''park hunters'' ...push the deer to them...usually more prevelant in parks that allow gun hunting but i have found numerous spots like this in parks that are ''bow only''...it is also valuable because ...just because it is private land does NOT mean they nesc. have an advantage...plus they could be making mistakes also...coming in with wind blowing their scent towards bedding area etc etc..
Lastly...i walk slow ...very slow..very very slow when i am scouting....why??? i have walked up on deer bedded almost every third trip out...at every park i hunt....watch where they go...this is usually an escape route..maybe just for that deer ,but possibly for several deer....notice where you were when you spooked him...was the wind blowing at him.. or her if a doe..??? now you have an advantage..you have first hand knowledge that deer are there and although they might not be in that spot in October...you have something more valuable than gold....you have the confidence to scout correctly... do it once maybe twice ..than get the heck out of there and don't come back till season....write notes that day ,make scribbles on your map...example--------funnel.....big buck droppings and scrapes....nice oak tree...etc etc...good luck ,put in the time just one afternoon or 2..... and you will start picking apart parks..... and leaving with meat and bone sticking off the back of your truck!!![:D]

Many thanks for posting this, It's just what I was researching for on bing. I'd lots comparatively hear opinions from a person, barely than a company web web page, that's why I like blogs so significantly. Many thanks!
It's so frustrating to see folks continually add pretty worthless comments that are just generic and don't even discuss the topic of the post.
Doesn't it just drive ya crazy when you see so many commenters adding just worthless, generic comments?
I am constantly thought about this, appreciate it for putting up.
Ed, I will see my 76th New Years Day and I said 53 years ago that TV would spoil our lives as we knew them. Sure enough, people stopped visiting one another, they had to stay home to watch the next episode of Gunsmoke or whatever sitcom they were in to. Kids became couch potatoes instead of going outdoors to play. We resisted getting a TV for a long time, but finally gave in. Even so, time in front of it was limited. I will say its a blessing, if you can find something worth watching, for those who are handicapped or elderly who are limited in their activities. Newspapers are becoming passe as people are getting their sanitized, cryptic news from biased reporters on TV. and so forth and so forth. Technology is not all its cracker up to be. It has its down side.
I'm delighted that I've noticed this weblog. Lastly anything not a junk, which we undergo extremely frequently. The web site is lovingly serviced and kept as much as date. So it should be, thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm still learning from you, however I'm enhancing myself. I actually love reading every part that's written in your blog.Keep the tales coming. I liked it!
There are some interesting points made in this post but I don't know if I see all of them heart to eye . There is some validity but I will take hold judgement until I look into it further. Good clause, thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner besides. .
I adore looking through and I think this website got some truly useful stuff on it! .
Congratulations on possessing certainly one in every of one of the most subtle blogs Ive arrive throughout in some time! Its simply superb how a lot you'll be capable to contemplate away from a factor mainly merely because of how visually beautiful it is. You've place collectively a terrific weblog site house –nice graphics, motion pictures, layout. That is definitely a should-see web site!

Help and advice to other online retailers wanting to ship and market products abroad from those who are doing it.
Sector focus: Fashion
Topic: Advice and resources for online retailers who are taking their first tentative steps of shipping and marketing their products abroad.We would like to thank the following people for taking time out to answer some questions in order to help other online retailers start to look beyond their own back yard.
Phil Ryan of Specialty Fashion Group
Dale Masters of Plus Brands Ltd
Baukjen Swaan de Arron, Founder, Design & Creative Director at IsabellaOliver.com and 365 Brand.
Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk
The questions we asked our Online Retailers
1. What was the main obstacle you had to overcome when shipping products abroad?2. What marketing do you use abroad, example Affiliate Marketing ,PR, Mailing lists, Social Networks?
3. Are there any real differences between the customer buying habits at home and your customers from abroad, if so what?
4. How far has your marketing initiatives abroad reached your expectations.
5. If you had just one bit of advice for other online retailers shipping their products abroad, what would it be?
The complete responses at the end of this article or can be seen on our website.
Fashion has a global following, what is hot in New York, is probably hot in Australia and is probably hot in the UK and EU and so on, in other words, what starts off as a fashion trend in one country will end up being sold around the world. Clothing after all is one of the few things in life that everyone has to buy.
Most of the online retailers we interviewed agreed that there are no major differences between the consumer buying habits at home or from abroad and any differences spotted are just subtle ones, for example consumer seasonal buying, a coat will still sell in the consumers Autumn/Winter season but things like skinny jeans that has no seasonal influences will still sell all year round.
Order fulfillment, shipping costs for the consumer and for distribution were also one of earlier contributors for not offering consumer products abroad.
Most agreed that it's a lot easier to not only ship products abroad but marketing has become less problematic too.
Reaching new customers abroad has never been easier now that search engines have become so advanced and since the emergence of social networks and mobile marketing just waiting in the wings as a form of advertising. Consumers can browse products around the world from the comfort of their own home/work/college hours. Global browsing should mean global ecommerce so what could be deterring some online retailers from jumping across the fence to see what's on the other side and what deters the consumer from buying abroad? We have used the fashion sector by way of an example.
We are seeing an increasing number of online retailers shipping their products and or services abroad and this trend will continue to increase. The barriers that prevented online retailers from being able to reach new international customers via the internet, I am sure we will all agree, has receded significantly over the last decade and the last few fences for shipping products abroad are slowly coming down due to the early pioneer's vision and determination to meet their new foreign customer's demands for their products. Those that took these cross boarder steps back in the day have already got an edge over their home land competitors and are already forging their name abroad.
Through new, evolving and further reaching technology, education, governments and banking institutions are slowly accommodating and facilitating international trade. Any online retailer can now ship their products around the world. Most of the online retailers we interviewed agreed that shipping costs was and in some cases still is one of the last few fences that could be a deterrent for not only other online retailers trying to make the jump from a business to business perspective but also could be a deterrent for the consumer at the point of purchase. I am sure most would agree that the cost of international shipping has to come down. Until the prices of international shipping come down there will be a high price to pay and for the most part this cost is passed on to the consumer.
Yet, Australia's leader in the Plus Size Fashion Sector, Phil Ryan, owner of Specialty Fashion Group, offers free shipping and free returns to his customers in the USA CityChicOnline.com, how is this possible? Phil Ryan is from that school of thought that there is more value in acquiring a new customer and looks at the repeat order value that each new customer could potentially bring in, his marketing methods focus on not just acquiring a new customer but the retention is just as important. He believes so much in his own product and customer services that he wants his customers to feel the quality, wear the clothes and then they will come back to buy more and they do. Phil Ryan is prepared to waiver shipping costs and compromises his margins to make sure that his potential customer has no barriers to purchasing. So successful is his approach that sales in the USA is up month on month and another brand is about to be born and his eyes are fixed firmly on other territories, evidence that his customers are loyal to the brand. So what was Phil Ryan's main barrier when he first started shipping products to the US? "The main issue is duties and taxation laws unless you ship from within the USA, customer on a parcel by parcel basis is very hard. You need to set up distribution in the USA for it to work".
Why can shipping a product be so high? Often is the case that it's the online retailers existing postal carrier who sets the price based on the more volume of goods shipped abroad the less costly it becomes, the less weight the less it costs. In the absence of volume and cutting into margins there may not seem to be any alternative for the online retailer other than passing the cost onto the consumer, who ends up with a take it or leave it situation. We know most online retailers wish for more international customers and for further brand reach but many maybe giving up at the first hurdle by measuring the existing number of international orders that come in. An assumption that could be being made by the online retailer is that there is no need to invest in research, technology or marketing/shipping/margin compromise and the foundation for this assumption may be measured based on how many orders are received from abroad and from which countries. Too few orders and the incentive to explore alternative shipping options and implement currency convertors may not be justified for further research and the online business operates within its own comfort zone, such was the view of Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk "…I marketed to foreign buyers with a non-optimised site. They converted badly and I've never bothered "wasting" marketing budget since. If I had a website that did a better job at converting foreign customers in the first place, then my marketing budget would go further and I'd be selling more product – chicken and egg – and I got it the wrong way round. I suppose my brief to myself was "if these foreign people buy, then we'll concentrate on making the site more foreign-friendly" but seeing as the buyers never came, neither did the improvements! Since speaking to Pat Wood he is now prepared to revisit international waters and plans are afoot to bring his brands to the USA.
If online retailers don't go the extra mile and try to facilitate international customers, then naturally, the orders would be few and far between, it stands to reason. A simple solution for fashion online retailers to facilitate international sales would be to make small adjustments to their website and shopping cart. Example: adding a page entitled "International orders, international sizing and shipping" A currency converter at check out (opens up in a new window). A good indication of how many international customers came to your site and left without buying would be to look at your analytics, regardless of how good or bad they are, even bad website analytics can give you some clue.
Shipping costs does seem to be the main barrier for consumers purchasing from abroad, but curiously enough, the time it takes to ship a product from the consumer's perspective is seldom an issue, if the demand is there. Did you know that a parcel can take up to five working days from New York to California? If the consumer is informed about the shipping time, that's all they need to know to make an informed decision. The good news for online retailers as that the issue of the price of international shipping, distribution, currency converting and international taxation does not have to be an impenetrable wall but only if online merchants who want their wish to come true and ship abroad and are willing to do their research, crunch those numbers and throw in a bit of compromise, after all who wouldn't want more customers, more reach and ultimately more sales?
Dale Masters and Phil Ryan both use a distribution and order Fulfillment company; this too was the main obstacle Boukjen de Swaan Arrons of IsabellaOliver.com which they had to overcome "Understanding the logistical flow to ensure the customer received a service she expected."
So what are the pros and cons of having a distribution center versus shipping on a parcel by parcel basis from the originating country? Firstly we need to distinguish between direct distributions (order fulfillment), this is shipping the product direct to the consumer and distribution centers. The distribution center is where the online retailer ships their products abroad in bulk for processing and dispatch to either another order fulfillment company or in some cases distribution centers have their own in-house order fulfillment services combined with customer care services or just simply out sourcing. Some online retailers prefer to ship orders directly from within their existing distribution facilities within their own country on a parcel by parcel basis, most non domestic online retailer use this method as a means to either test the waters before investing in oversees distribution and or does not have the budget for outsourcing. The other deterring factor may also be its not so much about what you know but who do you speak to, it's scary to be in unfamiliar territory.
Dale Masters and Phil Ryan both Australian have already gone through the initial research stage and decided there was enough data to warrant entering into the US and UK Market using a distribution company and both have been here in the US for over a year and both offer free shipping. For the online retailers who have a very small budget, even using the more costly outsourced distribution route is possible using a non-compete piggyback approach. If you are from outside of the USA, there are US Apparel Companies that already has a warehouse and already has the order fulfillment in place and their own customer service set up, the non US online retailer could rent their space and service. The cost for shipping products is now reduced as the non US Retailer can ship their products in bulk meaning lower bulk shipping costs, the consumer pays less postage and the worry of customer care visa vis the time differences is reduced too.
The shipping parcel by parcel approach is the ideal solution for the hesitant online retailer to ship products abroad but should only be used if they can compromise. What do we mean by compromise? We used the example of CityChicOnline.com and AtticusClothing.com offering free shipping. Both companies were prepared to compromise on shipping by wavering it. If some online retailers find this too risky then the other option is to compromise by absorbing some of the postal costs by x amount to bring it closer inline to similar standard shipping charges of the country where the product is going to.
If marketing abroad and not understanding local customs or languages is another barrier that is still preventing online retailers from taking the international plunge then I can assure you, without making a dent in your budget or margins, all online fashion retailers can enter new countries right now! The assumption that consumers are not smart enough and have to be hand held every step of the way of the purchasing experience becomes less valid as online shoppers become more experienced at purchasing due to the dreadful check out experiences that they have had to endure in the past. A quick test for you to show you what I mean, for those that don't understand German I want you to find and add your size jeans to the basket and try to check out http://www.guna.de/jeans.htm (I randomly selected this company; we have no affiliation with them). They don't offer shipping to outside of Europe but they could if they wanted to. So how many of you found it relatively easy? Jeans in English is the same in Germany is the same all over the world, I reiterate fashion is fashion and is global and when you have gone through one bad check out experience after another and learned from it then any average to good check out process and all in a foreign languages can be negotiated as most check outs are standard, registration, email, shipping, credit card billing and so on. A way for online retailers to address the language barrier at check out could come in the form of using pictures or symbols. Different sizing charts for US, EU, UK, AU etc.. is standard now and the clever online retailer will already have their multi sizing charts in place and which we all understand. Another site that we could look at is SkinnyJeans.com, if you go to www.Google.de and type in Skinny Jeans, the company skinnyjeans.com comes up as number three.
Technology in terms of intelligent ecommerce shopping carts is still coming on leaps and bounds and you just have to visit some of the well known ecommerce shopping cart forums to find out just how clever they have become in terms of reporting and functionality not to mention well thought through data capture, order fulfillment and tracking as well as scalability. Most now come with a currency convertor module that you just plug in; clever ecommerce website can now identify first time customers and have the capability of using stored data to assist with marketing initiatives as well. X-Cart is a good example of a company that can evolve to meet their consumer's demands whilst still keeping up with the latest technology and trends and to get a feel for their platform and plug-ins have a look at the X-Cart forum, its buzzing and its free to join.
Marketing abroad is more down to "who you know" as the "what you know" is an unknown variable in the beginning, linkedin.com is great for business networking and we have, over the years, discovered some real gems amongst the "experts". Marketing on a budget or testing the waters abroad. Who would have thought that Affiliate Marketing would be the most cost effective way of measuring how well your products will sell abroad? We did many years ago but we were faced with the same barriers that online retailers faced, yet the affiliates/ publishers were already one step ahead. We have always promoted affiliate marketing as the perfect way to promote fashion and other products abroad. Affiliate marketing is not insular; it's truly global just like Google's international pay per click options difference being is that Affiliate Marketing is the only form of online marketing that most online retailers can get on a budget and that facilitates global e-commerce. Affiliate Marketing does not have the constraints of domestic traffic aggregation. Affiliates/Publishers optimize their sites to funnel international traffic to relevant pages. Some affiliates join multiple affiliate networks in multiple countries (see Affiliate Census) and affiliate networks have accommodated the international affiliate by paying them in their own currency. The amazing part about it all is that it's still the only marketing channel whereby the online retailer only ever pays on results.
Below is a rough costing for entering foreign countries in order of budget and marketing.
For budgets under 1k per month
You can set up an affiliate program up and running for as little as $300.00 US, 500 GBP, 400 EU, 500 AU affiliate network one time set up cost. If you don't know anything about setting up and managing an affiliate program abroad, we specialize in setting up and managing affiliate programs and our cost is included in the under 1k per month budget. Affiliates are experts at Pay Per Click and bloggers offer unique content that will assist your search engine visibility, directly and indirectly.
For Budgets under 4k per month
In order to increase your brand and sell products abroad, the next marketing channel you will want is a PR agency that can support celebrity endorsements, celebrity gifting, focuses on editorial and has far reaching contacts within your sector. 3.5k per month in the US will buy you PR that spans from NY to LA and everything in-between. Now you have an affiliate program and a good PR agency as both will compliment each other.
For Budget of 6k per month.
Lead generation is big business where ever you go and companies like BallardDirect.com for entering the US space would be the third thing on my to do list. Lead generation businesses have had a hit and miss reputation in the past but companies like BallardDirect.com that come with recommendations and endorsements are worth their weight in gold. Companies like this are hard to find amongst the myriad of "experts" out there. When trying to find a lead generation company, always talk to their clients first. If the company does not have a client list on the website then probably its worth moving on.
For under 6k per month, you now have what we feel is the three most important marketing channels that will yield results. I am assuming that most online retailers have facebook.com presence already and if you haven't already notices pintrest.com is on the up. For the dedicated followers of fashion, you may also want to look at a new comer MyFDB.com
The determination for some online retailers to find and fix the problems that prevents an international sale from taking place can be summed up by Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk "I think the main obstacles have been shipping cost, currency converting and customer service. We've always found currency converting a nightmare, but hopefully have a great fix for this coming in the next few weeks."
A very small Check list before entering international watersStep one: Logistics and Tax
Logistics : Shop around for international shipping prices, remember there are choices and there is competition and maybe you will have to look at using two carriers, one for domestic shipping and another for international. If you want to look at distribution centers and fulfillment then again, shop around or drop us a line, we may be able to help you or put you in contact with reputable companies.
Tax: If you don't already understand how to work with international tax, then have a look at the following docs. Tax will vary country by country, your accountant will know what you have to pay and to whom, after all that's there headache not yours. If you don't have an accountant, then contact your local tax office. The following websites maybe of some use to you.
Here on EConsultancy.com
E retail and Logistics forum a group on LinkedIn.com
Step two: Website readiness
All you need is a currency convertor, a good international sizing chart, a page dedicated to international orders that include approximate time lines for delivery and shipping cost and return policy.
Step three: Testing the waters
If you already have step one and two then you are ready for an affiliate program.
It truly is the ultimate in litmus testing, it's affordable and rewarding and will give you a plethora of new information that you would not have otherwise gotten unless you had taken the plunge but ultimately you gain new customers, new sales and increased brand recognition.
Step four: Expansion.
Once you have decided that there is a market for your products, PR and Lead generation would be next as well as looking at companies that can distribute and offer order fulfillment with customer services.
The questions we asked a few of our clients past and present.
1. What was the main obstacle you had to overcome when shipping products abroad?
Phil Ryan of Specialty Fashion Group :
"The main issue is duties and taxation laws unless you ship from within the USA, customer on a parcel by parcel basis is very hard. You need to set up distribution in the USA for it to work "
Dale Masters of AtticusClothing.com:
Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk:
"I think the main obstacles have been shipping cost, currency converting and customer service. The biggest market we'd like to be in would be the USA, but exchange rates and shipping prices mean that it's very difficult to export £20 t-shirts with £8 shipping to the USA – i.e. a USA consumer is having to pay $45 for one t-shirt – double what they'd pay for a decent t-shirt at local retail prices. We've always found currency converting a nightmare, but hopefully have a great fix for this coming in the next few weeks."
Baukjen de Swaan Arons, Founder, Design & Creative Director of IsabellaOliver.com & 365 Brand :
"Understanding the logistical flow to ensure the customer received a service she expected."
2. What marketing do you use abroad, example Affiliate ,PR, Mailing lists, Social Networks?
Phil Ryan of Specialty Fashion Group:
"Affiliate Marketing, Social Networks and Email"
Dale Masters of AtticusClothing.com:
Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk:
"We have traditionally stuck to PPC marketing for targeting foreign users in Europe and have embarked upon a US focused PPC campaign recently, but with the above mentioned conversion issues, it's always going to make any marketing campaign seem a lot less fruitful than performing the same campaign locally.
Baukjen de Swann Arons of IsabellaOliver.com :
"It varies per market but the key elements are digital marketing, weekly email campaigns, social media and PR".
3. Are there any real differences between the customer buying habits at home and your customers from abroad, if so what?
Phil Ryan of Specialty Fashion Group:
"No real significant differences".
Dale Masters of AtticusClothing.com:
Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk :
"My foreign customer numbers are so small, it's very difficult to segment. Apart from the obvious poor conversion rates, it's hard to tell."
Baukjen de Swann Arons of IsabellaOliver.com and 365 Brand :
"Surprisingly no. We had expected to see differences due to climate differences and other factors but the buying habits are overall the same".
4. How far has your marketing initiatives abroad reached your expectations.
Phil Ryan of Specialty Fashion Group:
"Enough to look at expanding our brands into other markets."
Dale Masters of AtticusClothing.com :
Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk :
"Ask me in a few weeks and I'll tell you if the Noise Farm is any good :0) "Baukjen de Swaan Arons, Founder, Design & Creative Director of IsabellaOliver.com and 356 Brand :
"We now have 7 years of experience with selling abroad and have developed deeper understandings of the markets. Our expectations for each are now better fine-tuned to the experience we have gathered."
5. If you had just one bit of advice for other online retailers shipping their products abroad, what would it be?
Phil Ryan Specialty Fashion Group :
"You need to set up distribution in the USA for it to work "
Pat Wood of TruffleShuffle.co.uk :
"Make sure you get your plan in place in the right order. I marketed to foreign buyers with a non-optimised site. They converted badly and I've never bothered "wasting" marketing budget since. If I had a website that did a better job at converting foreign customers in the first place, then my marketing budget would go further and I'd be selling more product – chicken and egg – and I got it the wrong way round. I suppose my brief to myself was "if these foreign people buy, then we'll concentrate on making the site more foreign-friendly" but seeing as the buyers never came, neither did the improvements! Again, ask me in a few weeks and I'll let you know if the other way round works!!".
Baukjen de Swaan Arons, Founder, Design & Creative Director of IsabellaOliver.com and 365 Brand :
"Don't launch, or at least don't do it loudly, until you have the operational cycle totally worked out. Test different carriers, shipping prices etc before you launch publicly. When we launched in to the US, we did it quietly for the first 6 months. We used those months to monitor the cycle of dispatch through to returns closely and once we felt we had the best proposition, we made the launch public."If you have any questions about this article post away, we will do our best to answer them.
Wow d I get a prize for the longest post on Econsultancy.com :)

Footwear News editors found that athletic inspiration made a strong showing on fashionable feet. Luxe sneakers featuring hidden wedges and embellishments such as studs, glitter and color-blocking were one of the hottest shoe trends in 2012. Isabel Marant might have sparked the fervor with her high-end suede styles (far left), but other labels weren't far behind. Early in the year, Highline United President Matt Joyce called the fashion sneaker "globally trendy," and his firm's Ash brand (near left) got a major boost from its sporty chic looks.

Democrat Madeleine Dean beat Republican Nick Mattiacci in a special election held April 24 to fill the vacant seat for state representative for the 153rd Legislative District.
�I�m pleased. I�m delighted,� Dean said when reached Tuesday night. �I�m thrilled, delighted, awestruck. Today was a tremendous day with tremendous people.�
Dean received 56 percent of the vote, while Mattiacci received 44 percent of the vote, with 91 percent of the vote tallied, according to Abington-Rockledge Democratic Committee Executive Director Kathleen Joyce.
Former state Rep. Josh Shapiro, who held the position for seven years, was elected to be a Montgomery County Commissioner last November and resigned his seat in January, leaving the seat open. Because of the vacancy, a special election was held to fill the remainder of his term. Both candidates will run again in the General Election in November.
The 153rd Legislative District covers sections of Abington and Upper Dublin townships.
Dean�s already looking to the November election and said she knows that her campaign skills that she applied to this election will help her then.
�I thought we weren�t going to get the message across but I realized you just have to be confident and be yourself and realize why you�re serving,� she said. �I�m serving because this is worthwhile and I know that will be extraordinarily useful in government.�
Mattiacci did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment Tuesday night.
Dean and Mattiacci had a close race while debating in various forums throughout their campaign. Dean�s political platform focused on economy and education.
She said in an interview earlier this month that the economy and education are intertwined and that the �state�s economic future depends on how we educate our children.�
Dean has also taken stances against the Voter ID Bill, the stand-your-ground law and throughout the campaign has favored safe environmental practices and has said that fracking is not the best way to abstract oil and said it should be taxed.
Mattiacci�s platform emphasized jobs, the economy, property tax reform for senior citizens and making Pennsylvania �more business friendly,� he said an interview earlier this month. Mattiacci has also favored educational funding. At an April 12 forum, he said that the educational funds should be used wisely and he has taken a stance against Corbett�s $300 million cut in education. Mattiacci also stood in support of pro-life issues and the voter ID Bill.

Lots of performance and choreo footage here :-) http://barrykerollis.com/videos/
you are my favoret ballerina , and you are also my greatist insperation. I like you can't always express my self through words but every time I dance i can express my self perfectly thank you, thank you , thank you.
Hi, i just wanted to say that you are an inspiration to all young dancers. I loved your quote :Ballet is not a modeling business, it's ow you dance. Thank you!
You're an amazing dancer Maria !! Where is your leotard from ? I'm searching for it for hours :/
Napoli 1st Male variation
Performed during Royal Danish Ballet tour to Paris Opera (2011)
CW: Dear Patricia! I'm a Chinese mom with a ballerina daughter. I like your performance very much! They look like effortless and graceful. I'm thinking of letting my daughter to become a professional if she can be accepted into one of the professional ballet academy in the future. But can you give me some advice like what the professional school like Kirov is looking for when you audition? Basically what will get you in? And how to work towards that? BTW, my daughter is a straight A student and a nice, gentle girl like you are. Wish you shine brighter and brighter on the stage!
PZ: Hello Cindy!
I'm sorry I can't help much, as I don't know exactly what they look for in auditions.
I think every school looks for different things. Of course raw talent and physical attributes are important, but I think the best thing is to just have fun and show that you are trying hard and that you(your daughter) love to dance.
Sadly there are not things that can "get you in"... I just would focus on improving each step as you never know when they'll notice you or how long they will have to watch you.
Hope this somewhat helped. Best of luck!
NAM: Alsome!!
SMM: Thanks so much :)
LM: Dear Sara, I have a question for you: which pointe shoes do you wear? i saw a lot of pictures of you recently, and the shoes look really beautiful on your feet! i couldn't really identify which brand they were, but they looked great! :D ;o)
SMM: Hi, Thank you so much. I wear different brands, and seem to be on a continual quest for the right one. Growing up, I was in Mindens a lot, but then I switched to Grishko Pros, but wore Capezios, Blochs, and others quite often as well. Now I've been trying out Freeds, but this is a challenge due to the makers and the constant quest for one who is still available but not overbooked. Some of my recent photos are in Freeds that turned out not to be the exact make or sizing I needed for performing. Thanks for asking, and so sorry for the delay. I need to get back onto this website more. It's an amazing site, so I need to come by more often :) :D xxo
37th Swan Lake Season Ending, Beginning of Sleeping Beauty... here we go!..
SL: Hi Patricia! Just wanted to say I've watched your vids on youtube and absolutely cannot believe you started at 13! I've also started a little late, age 12, and we have similar body proportions and stuff (although I'm not nearly as good LOL) so you've been a huge inspiration to me! Right now I want to get prof training at Kirov or somewhere, but my asian parents are totally against the idea, like yours were. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that you got your grades up to convince them- was that all it took? And how'd you find the motivation to do that? I really want to be a dancer, but at the same time I absolute hate academic work and can never quite get all A's. Are grades the only way to convince asian parents like ours to let us do what we want? TT.TT
PZ: Hi Sakura,
They actually agreed to let me go to ballet school if I maintained my grades. I have always been a 4.0 student, so I just had to keep getting straight A's.
It is tough when your parents to not support your decision, but my parents were right: injuries are so prevalent in dance, so your studies need to be there as a back-up.
Try to show them another way how much this means to you. I'm sure they will only want what's best for you. xx

The CGEM™ mount has a fresh, attractive, bold appearance and is capable of carrying Celestron's higher-end SCT optical tubes (up to 11") securely and vibration free which is ideal for both imaging and visual observing.
Ergonomic Design - CGEM was designed to be ergonomically friendly with large Altitude and Azimuth adjustment knobs for quick and easy polar alignment adjustment. The internal RA and DEC motor wiring provides a clean look and an easy and trouble free set up.
Innovation - The CGEM series has a new innovative Polar alignment procedure called All-Star™. All-Star allows users to choose any bright star, while the software calculates and assists with polar alignment. Another great feature of the CGEM, sure to please astroimagers, is the Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PEC) which will allow users to train out the worm gears periodic errors, while the mount retains the PEC recordings.
Performance - For objects near the Meridian (imaginary line passing from North to South), the CGEM will track well past the Meridian for uninterrupted imaging through the most ideal part of the sky. The CGEM mount has a robust database with over 40,000 objects, 100 user defined programmable objects and enhanced information on over 200 objects.
Celestron's CGEM mount is the perfect fit between the Advanced Series and CGE Series. Offering the portability of the Advanced Series and the precision of the CGE.

Washington, DC Wednesday, February 6, 2013
The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing to examine the role of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) in the mortgage insurance market.
Housing finance experts and analysts are testifying on the FHA's financial condition and its role in the housing market.
Hearing witnesses include: Edward Pinto, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute; Anthony Sanders, professor of real estate finance and senior scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University; Basil Petrou, managing partner at Federal Financial Analytics Inc.; and Julia Gordon, director of housing finance and policy at the Center for American Progress
A second hearing will be held February 13 to hear from FHA Commissioner Carol Galante on a November 2012 actuarial report that revealed that the FHA is on the verge of requiring a taxpayer bailout.
"The FHA's dire financial condition and dominance of our housing finance system are a clear and present danger to every taxpayer who is now at great risk of having to fund yet another Washington bailout," Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) said.
Rep. Hensarling chaired the hearing.
