Is there anything positive that has come out of the struggling economy that our country has faced throughout 2009 and into 2010? I truly believe that there is…

Although it is sad to see businesses fail, the recession helps to weed out merchants (both online as well as brick & mortar) who probably shouldn’t have been in business to begin with. It also helps weed out merchants who are trying to establish themselves by undercutting prices until there are no margins whatsoever in certain product lines. The failure of some of these merchants is in no way a bad thing, especially for the more established merchants who can stay alive until the economy starts to improve. This not only applies to merchants, but websites as a whole in general, regardless of the content of the site.

As others fail, there will always be someone who can step in and do it better. If your website is unique, or if you offer a unique way of presenting content that is better than other websites in your niche, you will become a success as long as you keep it online long enough and are consistently growing traffic to your site. Success does not usually happen overnight, and in some cases may take years to become established in your chosen niche.

I truly think that we are starting to see the economy begin to bounce back. Sales revenue from some of the more established websites that our company owns have picked up tremendously in the last month and we hope that this continues to be the case. We are looking forward to what 2010 offers to our company. We re-established our company’s operations in 2009 as a merchant first and an internet based services provider second and are now starting to see the fruits of our labor.

EastWave strives to take our established entities and only make them better going forward. We plan to sell off even more of our less profitable ventures to focus specifically on our core entities. We see a beautiful break on the horizon and we are gearing up to be ready for the ride.

Our main website is now back online and features our new lines of products such as coastal decor, recreation & leisure products for your shopping enjoyment.  Many of the products that we offer are unique & specialty products that can not be found in regular stores.

EastWave originally started out as a website development & web hosting company in late 2003.  After seeing the paths that some of our customers were taking with their own internet ventures, we decided to explore other revenue streams for our own company such as internet retail, affiliate marketing & the domain name aftermarket.  Based on an advice from a good friend at a former job (who is sadly no longer with us in this world…  RIP Archie), we turned on our first internet retail store www.allnitetoys.com in mid 2004 which sells adult novelties.  Over the years this website became the main hub of a network of sites selling these type of products.

After 5 years of successfully running internet retail websites and realizing that those ventures had grown to be more profitable than the services we offered, we decided to shift the focus of our main website www.eastwave.com to internet retail.  We made strategic partnerships with various distributors & manufacturers of unique lines of products such as beach decor, action sports, recreation & others.  We also built multiple minisites on many of the domain names in our portfolio offering various lines of products.

EastWave still offers development services, but we take these type of projects on a case by case basis.  We eliminated our web hosting division and moved all information about our available development services to a new home at www.eastwavemedia.com.

We strive to provide quality products at reasonable prices, along with excellent shipping times & customer service.  EastWave has grown so much since starting out with a dream & a love for the beach in a small bedroom office in Eastern NC.  We hope this growth only continues in the future with our new ventures.

“The Next Wave Begins Today”

We are working on our EastWave Products network at this time…
When completed, the main website of this network will be our main website at www.eastwave.com.

We will soon be rolling out a new shopping network consisting of multiple niche retail stores based on product lines such as beach gifts & decor, camping supplies, grilling sauces & equipment, pet supplies & much more.

We have made strategic partnerships with a few quality suppliers & distributors and are really excited about taking on the world of internet retail.
