Someone once said that “difficult” does not mean “impossible”, so in January 2020 we created a plan to help us enter the U.S. market with Markizio and X-ROPE. Unfortunately, due to the overlapping of many factors such as pandemic, war and changes in Polish tax law, we were unable to achieve our current goals. "Your local hero" now needs a hero itself to help us to go down in history together. My name is Patryk Leopold, by coaches from www.bmspolska.pl described as a man "for unsolvable tasks, who when pushed to the wall will turn around and create the doors". Some people call me a workaholic, but how else can you achieve your goals if you don't put your whole heart into your passion?

Starting from the beginning, we opened a warehouse in 2020, thanks to which we were supposed to obtain adequate funds to finance our main goal. The revenue was 517 723,47 PLN, although it should have been 800 000 PLN. In 2021, the turnover was at the level of PLN 1,979,661.91, but we planned to make at least PLN 3,000,000. In the same year we also established the Markizio brand specializing in the creation of high quality loft furniture and X-ROPE, focusing on the sale of ropes, rafts and cords. By May 2022, we aim to launch e-commerce for markizio.com and by October open a U.S. outpost and we would also like to participate in the High Point Market. On an ongoing basis, we are successfully building the reputation of our brands to be internationally recognized.

According to www.statista.com, the Furniture market revenue are expected is expected to reach US$239.40 billion in 2022. Annually (2022-2026) the market will grow at a CAGR of 3.45%. Currently, the market's largest segment is the segment Living Room Furniture with a market volume of US$71.97 billion in 2022. In relation to the total population, this year the amount of generated income per person is expected to be US$715.00. This market is very important to us, because it is the United States that will generate the largest revenue of US$239.40 billion in 2022. This is the ideal opportunity for potential future investors to watch our company grow and to contribute to its success.

We have managed to fulfill the first point on our list, which was to launch sales at www.x-rope.com. In the nearest future, we are signing a contract with one of the networks operating in Poland and we are in the process of talking to the largest DIY chain in the United States. By the end of April we want to put 100 products from the X-ROPE and Markizio brands on FBA Amazon USA and Amazon Europe, and at the end of May launch sales on www.markizio.com We plan to open a company in the United States and to rent a warehouse in Charleston, South Carolina by the end of July. We were able to partner with Chuck Robbins - the chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems, who has years of experience in marketing and furniture, and was awarded the title of "Best of 2017 in Social Marketing". This is another big step that has determined us to move forward and has significantly raised our brand’s awareness in the international market, which is why we want to participate in the High Point Market this October. This fair will allow us to be noticed by ordinary people, who are a large part of our clientele. Our final goal for this year is to handle 100 orders per day for an average value of US$100 per order in the US market.

Our priority for 2023 is to handle an average of 200 orders per day with an average order value of US$100, spend 5% on marketing and continue to build our brands’ awareness. In 2024 the average number of orders per day should be 220 with an average order value of US$145. In 2025 we want to host a banquet, to which all supporters of this project will be invited to thank the people who made the impossible possible.

As Elon Musk once said: „Instead of baby showers, let's host business showers. When a friend starts a business, we all come together, celebrate them and bring resources to their business.”. It was this quote that inspired us to create our project and we hope thet Nelson Mandela was right when he said „it always seems impossible until it's done.”.
