No 147

Dear Customers & Friends
Hello from Japan! This is Kimono Flea Market ICHIROYA's News Letter No.147.Ichiro is writing this latter. After quite an absence, I am enjoying relaxing Sunday. Every last half moth, I have many auctions, and I don'thave enough time to relax or enjoy hobbies. All staff are off today, andI am writing this letter, listening to JAZZ, my favorite music.
Here in Osaka, it is getting hot as if summer already has come. As usuallots of unhappy affairs happens everyday, however, we are especiallyworried about Indonesia Earthquake. It is reported that more than 3million people were seriously injured, and most of them are stillwaiting curing and medical relief supplies. Just same as Japan,Indonesia is on the quake zone, people can never be free from the riskof earthquake. We have donated 100,000 yen to Doctors Without Borders. They say theamount can supply 80 surgical narcosis kits or 1250 immunizationinstruments. We hope their aid will reach injured people as soon aspossible. This donation is from our profit, which you allowed us toleave for our works. So it is from ICHIROYA and Ichiroya's customers.Thank you again for your orders and help, which makes this donationpossible!
Be that as it may, I sometimes feel why some very valuable items havebeen in our store without being sold. Our stocks have grown to hugevolume, so we feel some very charming items are buried in lots of items,and they seem not to be checked by customers. And we always feel thatour (especially my ) English skills are not enough to convey their value andcharms adequately. If some customers(presenters) recommend our items, we feel othercustomers must know better about the items. If some customers(presenters) select some items, and add theirrecommending comments, other customers must be convenient to know theidea from different points of views. If we pay several percent of the sales to presenters when othercustomers buy their recommend items, presenters also may be delighted.It is a kind of affiliate, but we do not think it is same as otheraffiliate system. We don't want make everyone presenters - ourpresenters must be our customers, who already bought kimono or antiqueitems from us.
We are not sure this system work well, but recently estimate sheet came,and we know making this affiliate system will cost way expensive than weimagined. We discussed, and we determined that we should begin fromminimum level. We would like to welcome several presenters, and maketheir pages by our side. We have made a sample page as below;
