Back in April, Jason Drumright and his wife Mindy, two Heffys partners finished Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace classes. It was a life changer for them.
I was a little shocked honestly, not that these two were that far off track at all, but what they learned and changed made it possible for some noticeable & sweet impact on their financial standing. So I joined them.
My brother and I decided to take the class together, we started 5 weeks ago and are having fun wrestling with a budget, spending habits, attacking debt among other things. It’s been fantastic to take a harder look at my finances, I thought I had a really good handle on them but it’s been a great challenge to do more.
Dave’s teaches about freeing up money so that you can give freely, what a great simple message and it’s very biblical. We are all about that at Heffys. So Jason and I decided to attend the simulcast of EntreLeadership last week, with more than 15,000 attendees across the US it was a great way to see Dave’s advice on how to run a more financially responsible business. I have to say it was just what I needed.
We don’t aim to be the largest BBQ sauce business in the world, just one of the best. We want to be known just as much for our philanthropy as we are for making great sauce. To do that we have to make great financial decisions, just like we do at home. We don’t always do it right but we have to keep working for it.
Thanks to Jason and Mindy for leading the way…and for Dave for giving some tools for us to follow.
So Heffys BBQ Co. turned 4 years old this weekend. We have had a blast the last 4 years building a little BBQ sauce business into a little bit bigger BBQ sauce business, thanks to loyal fans.
Fans like Erik W. (aka E-Dub)
Erik has been with us since the beginning, he is a Heffys Fan, he gives us his opinion whether we want it or not. We love him for it.
A few weeks ago he shot us a note about our outrageous shipping prices, he was like “I don’t have Heffys in my house because of how much it costs to ship it to me”.
We have learned a lot the last 4 years….one thing for sure is to listen close our fans.
We also know if would be more convenient for Erik and his fantastic wife Stacey to buy us at their local store which is why we invented the I LOVE HEFFYS program. But still we wondered if we could do better with our shipping prices. So we went to work, took a look at our current shipping policies & providers, and tightened down some screws where we could and after much sweat and plenty of empty beer cans we came up with the “E-Dub” shipping method.
So in honor of Erik and our 4th birthday, we are officially launching the “E-Dub” (our nickname for Erik W.) shipping policy. It’s super simple….$4.95 flat rate shipping on up to 12 items.
Buy 2 bottles = $4.95 Shipping
Buy 12 bottles = $4.95 Shipping
Any combination of 12 items is one flat rate to ship!
Pretty sweet huh?! We think so, but don’t thank us, thank Erik!
Wanna be as cool as him, drop us a line and talk to us.
