February - the Little Month that Could!
Despite being the shortest month of the year, February 2015 saw a new sales record set for shopgoodwill.com, with site-wide sales totaling over $5.6 million dollars!
The record looks to be as short-lived as the month of February, however, as we are on pace in March to exceed $6 million in sales site-wide for the first time ever.
Great job everyone!
