1. Neon Husky
Celebrating the Art of Infinite Possibilities
Flaming Poodles and numchuks – no, there is no cruelty, violence, or kinkiness
involved, just clean fun known as manipulation art – the art of doing anything with a
prop (e.g., creative weapons art [martial art stage routines], juggling, magic, and kite
flying). Neon Husky promotes the art and sells the props; Endicia drives its shipping.
Inspired by a vision borne from failing vision, Jim Dorman founded Neon Husky in 2000.
True to the “infinite possibilities” part of its tagline, Neon Husky supplies an array of
props that lets the visually-impaired and fully-sighted find enjoyment in so many ways.
Though its emphasis remains on supplying illuminated props and upholding the “never
let go” ideal, Neon Husky now provides props that people can let go of if they so
choose.
Background
In 1989, three years after having started juggling, Jim Dorman was diagnosed with two
degenerative retinal disorders that have steadily eroded his eyesight. Certified legally
blind by late 1998 and with his eyesight still on the decline, Jim Dorman lamented the
thought of having to forego the tremendous joy and wonderful friendships attained
through juggling. Little did he know at the time that good would come from his
misfortune.
In the fall of 1999, Jim Dorman attended the Lopez Island Jugglefest. Upon spinning
some glow stick poi (glow sticks on a cord) and realizing how easy they were to keep
track of, it dawned on him to try doing so with his eyes closed. To his slight surprise, he
never missed a trick. Since then, Jim Dorman has been searching for manipulation arts
that do not require sight.
After attending the first-ever Damento juggling festival, in which he received interest in
his chain poi, sold some fire poi, and discovered numchuks as a non-releasable prop,
Jim Dorman quit his day job and started Neon Husky in 2000 with just $88 a week in
unemployment checks. A Web site and four revisions later, Neon Husky has become a
robust business, receiving inquiries from around the world and, in 2006, having shipped
products to every continent, even Antarctica. On a typical day, it averages about 3 to 4
orders. In December 2006, it averaged 5 to 15 orders per day. All of the orders
shipped via the Postal Service.
Neon Husky generates about 95% to 96% of its revenue via online sales, all from its
Web site, and the rest from selling goods year-round at juggling and art festivals. At
Christmastime, its big seller is its Astrojax (part cat toy-for-humans and part yo-yo)
product line and, during summer, fire poi (e.g., any type of torch).
Though the business still keys on providing illuminated props and promoting a “never let
go” principle, it now offers goods for a wide range of different manipulation arts.
2. Endicia’s Role
An Endicia customer since June 2004, Neon Husky started with Endicia Premium and
upgraded to Endicia Professional in November 2006. It upgraded to take advantage of
Endicia Professional’s ability to provide confirmation of acceptance into the mailstream
of shipments bearing electronic Delivery or Signature Confirmation (e/DC or e/SC). The
acceptance scan puts customers at ease and lets shippers provide better customer
service while reducing or even eliminating time-consuming, gut-wrenching customer
shipping inquiries.
After invoicing the orders and picking and packing the merchandise, Neon Husky uses
Endicia to print complete, prepaid postage labels with an HP LaserJet printer. It
generally utilizes the Avery 5168 labels. When customizing (adding a logo, message
(e.g., fragile), even an invoice number) and/or using Express Mail, Neon Husky uses
two-up labels. For quick and easy entry of weight, via a weigh button, it employs
Endicia’s 25-lb USB integrated postal scale. Additionally, for international shipments
valued over $100 and domestic shipments valued over $200, it normally uses Endicia
insurance because there is no paperwork to apply the insurance; plus, Endicia
insurance is up to 67% off the cost of Postal insurance. Moreover, Neon Husky utilizes
e/DC on all domestic mail classes that support it, thus saving $0.46 to $0.50 per mail
piece over the retail price of Delivery Confirmation.
Of all Endicia features, Neon Husky uses most Stealth Indicia, customizable e-mail
notification, creation of completed customs forms, and, for mail pieces bearing e/DC or
e/SC, the acceptance notification scan. Stealth Indicia, by not showing the postage
amount, lets Neon Husky charge a fair shipping and handling fee without angering
customers. Customizable e-mail notification alerts its customers that their orders are on
their way, thereby providing them with excellent customer service and decreasing call
volume. The creation of completed customs forms eliminates their manual completion,
saving time and increasing accuracy. The acceptance into the mailstream of mail
pieces with e/DC or e/SC, via a barcode scan, decreases customer shipping inquiries
and proves to even incredulous customers that their orders have shipped.
With the accuracy of Endicia’s address verification, Neon Husky’s shipments are very
accurate and successful. Jim Dorman of Neon Husky reports, “Endicia works so well
that the Post Office and Postal carriers have no questions about Neon Husky’s
shipments.” He adds, “We save tons of times compared to the alternative – visits to the
post office, manual completion of customs forms, and so on.” As for cost savings, Jim
Dorman estimates $500 per year.
Summarizing his feelings about Endicia, Jim Dorman states:
“I recommend Endicia to my colleagues and my local post office even
thinks you guys are the greatest for the way your forms always scan &
process. Best of all, I get to do business without sifting through a
3. ton of advertising. If your goal is to help businesses get things
done, you are succeeding very well.”
The Future
Neon Husky will continue to advance manipulation art and seek out new, ever-inventive
goods to offer (as a manufacturer and reseller), with no idea considered farfetched. It
has started experimenting with lighting products and designer computers.
