press release activity

Response from our press release has been interesting.

Getting a business off the ground in Japan is a big job. Marketing, especially for an Internet company, is especially tricky. So we tried to fashion our initial press release with care.

The Japanese press release went out on JCN Network. The English version is on PRWeb.

So far, we've been picked up by a couple of parties in New York who've since contacted us. Rapaport, the guys who publish the diamond prices list, being one—the other is a diamond wholesaler. We've had hits coming in from Japan and overseas in equal measure, so both versions seem to be hitting their mark. Needless to say, traffic to the site has spiked, which is a positive that we'll hopefully continue to build upon as we put out more quality content.

Koki, our intern, has been instrumental in all of this. Good work, young man!
