Growing Geek ecommerce Store Launches New Website

TAMPA, Fla. - March 2, 2016 - PRLog -- It wasn't so long ago that Tampa, Florida natives Jonathan and Laura Bailey were newly engaged and casually attending local Comic Cons for fun, before it became a joint business endeavor.  Back in May 2015, the couple was attending the MegaCon Convention in Orlando, Florida, for the 3rd time together since they began dating, when an idea struck them.  "We were walking through the convention, looking at merchandise, and I said, you know what Jon, we could do this." explains Owner Laura Bailey.  "I told him that we could combine his business background with my marketing background and make something out of his passion for Geek related things.  He thought it was a great idea of course, and we spent that night at our hotel brainstorming ideas and starting to research suppliers." says Laura.

In May 2015, Con Couture officially opened for virtual business and they were already slated to exhibit at their 1st convention:  Tampa Bay Comic Con.  "It felt like it was destined to be the start of a great opportunity having our debut convention held in our home base of Tampa Bay," says Co-Owner Jon Bailey.  "It was reassuring getting the support of our family and friends, plus we were able to interact with more fans than we imagined." adds Jon.  After a very profitable first Convention experience, things took off from there.  They focused on expanding their social media presence, meeting fans, sourcing new product, and working conventions.  After only 6 months in business, they had hit most of the major conventions throughout the state of Florida.

Now it's been 10 months and Con Couture is getting a facelift.  The company has a brand new website that went live this week and the owners have huge plans to expand as they get closer to completing their 1st year in business.  "We are so excited about our new website," gushes Laura.  "It has so many more features available than our first one, like a hosted blog and pre-ordering capabilities to improve the customer experience."

When asked about the future, both agree that it's very time-consuming hard work to run the business, but that they're in it for the long haul.  "We really want this to be successful,” says Laura, "so we have an aggressive Marketing plan for the remainder of Q1 and Q2 that is really going to get our name out there, focusing on blogs and ads.  Then in Q3 and Q4, we will be rolling out some new product lines that our competitors don't focus on.  Basically, 2016 is going to be a great year for Con Couture!"
