Rolling Silver: Our Story So Far
Rolling Silver is a young company which we run within family members since July 2011. Today, Rolling Silver runs two major websites – InvestSilverMalaysia.com (ISM) and BuySilverMalaysia.com (BSM).
InvestSilverMalaysia.com is this blog, which we blog about precious metals, fiat currencies and the worsening economy. BuySilverMalaysia.com is the official distributor for Scottsdale Silver in Malaysia since August 2011.
InvestSilverMalaysia.com
Our first posting was dated back in July 2011.
^ InvestSilverMalaysia.com’s first posting – Hello world!
Along this posting, we have a total of 105 articles with topic ranges from precious metals to inflations to world economy. Readerships grew from only a close circle of friends and relatives to a good 100+ unique visitors per day and it is still growing. 90% of readers are from Malaysia with 66.5% of them are based in Klang Valley.
^ InvestSilverMalaysia.com enjoys good traffic of readership.
It is a fantastic result to us as no fund was invested in any marketing activities for this blog. Potential sponsors from related fields have approached us with various opportunities. We are currently examining each opportunity in depth. We thank you for all the supportive comments on the work we have done in spreading the knowledge of precious metals.
Numerous readers from this blog have came forward to meet us in person to exchange views. Many shared the same concern over the crippling economy. Many of them are successful business owners in various fields. Many of them liked coffee.
BuySilverMalaysia.com
BuySilverMalaysia.com started accepting orders since 2nd Feb 2012. To be exact, it was 02.02.2012 at 02:22am – an auspicious date to remember. It has been 3 months since and we have encouraging results.
^ BuySilverMalaysia.com is in business, since Feb 2012
The webstore was custom made and it took us 7 long months from engineering sketch to what it is today.
^ Featuring live pricing for Canadian Maple Leaf
We implemented live pricing in which our customers are able to place orders based on COMEX pricing 24/7, a feature which was designed and handcoded by our own team of programming elites.
We fortified it with 256-bit digital signature SSL, the same standard used by banks.
^ We value your privacy. SSL encryption is implemented throughout our webstore.
We also pioneer the rebate handling for payment – a feature inspired by AirAsia’s convinient fee.
“There’s a pleasant surprise at checkout. Instead of adding a surcharge to the total if paying by credit card or Paypal, they offer a 2% rebate if paying via bank transfers.”
– Reviewed by PoliticalMetals.com
We reverse the implementation and gave rebate instead of adding a credit card surcharge as part of the payment. The savings are directly channeled back to our customers.
Our best selling product is Scottsdale Silver’s 10 oz “The Stacker” silver bar. Customers are astonished with the quality of the bar.
^ Scottsdale Silver “The Stacker”, 10-ouncers, sexy and best seller.
We ship them nationwide using national courier, Poslaju – to cities as far as Kedah, Sabah and Sarawak. Some customers were skeptical about national courier service but we managed to handle each shipment with full satisfaction. Many of them are now our repeating customer.
^ Shipping with Pos Laju has been well accepted.
Emails flew in from Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei, enquiring if we could ship our silver across border. This is however, beyond our league. We had to reject the opportunities until we are ready for international orders.
New Opportunities in Progress
We have established new relationship with multiple partners in the industry. We are in talk with various international mints on potential distributorship. A-mark came over and paid us a visit in KL. We have new suppliers working hand in hand with us on new products.
^ Premium silver polishing cloth, imported from England – Available Now!
BuySilverMalaysia.com now distribute for Town Talk Polish premium products on silver maintainance, a company based in Bolton, England with over 115 years of business history. The polishing cloths are 100% made in England.
^ Coming soon – PAMP Gold in 1g, 2.5g and 5g.
We also have access to gold now and will be distributing fractional PAMP Gold soon.
Moving Forward
It has been an uphill battle ever since we started this business last year. The battle so far has been challenging but rewarding. We are planning to keep going.
This is our story so far.
Thank you for your support.
