Have you heard of Bearmore yet? What do you mean “No”? Well YOU WILL NOW! Bearmore is a great company that provides a unique service: it allows people from Romania to shop for things in the States and get them delivered at home! What a great idea! (OK, can you tell I’m excited???)

Bearmore is actually our little baby – my husband’s and mine. We started the business about 2 years ago, shortly after I moved to the US. To me it was just amazing to see how cheap you can buy some things here, as opposed to back home in Romania. If you know where to look (and we  sure can tell you where to look), you find everything cheaper, and sometimes A LOT cheaper: clothes, shoes, accessories, electronics, appliances and everything in between. And let’s not even mention the sales!!! I kept telling my husband that if we could pass those deals to Romanians, we’d have a great business. So with him being the great entrepreneur that he is, he suggested that we do just that.

We never really advertised for Bearmore – all the business that we got was from friends and friends of friends. Word of mouth is a powerful tool! We send a lot of different products to Romania: from evening dresses and wedding gowns, to ipods and digital cameras, to kitchen appliances and accessories, wedding favors and decorations… and many others! Our clients are always very happy with the products they get and of course, we do our very best to offer them the best possible service.

Right now we’re at a stage where we want to grow our business. We’ve always charged a very low fee for our services and we want to keep it that way. Of course, for that to make sense from a business point of view, we need to grow in volume. We’ve recently launched our website (www.bearmore.com) and are planning to do some outside advertising, in order to reach more clients.

If you or your friends are looking to buy something from the United States, please send us an e-mail. We’ll be very happy to assist you in any way we could and you can be sure that you’ll get the best service. We can’t wait to hear from you!
