Title
Chinese Childrens Books, Music, & Videos, Cultural and Language Learning Materials - www.childbook.com in English and Mandarin
Description
My wife and I started ChildBook.com because we got very frustrated with the Chinese items we could buy in the US to teach our daughter Mandarin. We had agreed that we wanted to give our daughter the wonderful gift of being bilingual in Mandarin and English (trilingual if you count Taiwanese). So we started bugging relatives coming from Taiwan, visiting every Chinese bookstore and got terribly frustrated with the variety, quality, and price. Then I was taking an MBA class (Peter Drucker was teaching it) that had a class project to develop a business improvement project. Starting your own business is one way to improve one, and after our presentation ChildBook.com was born in 1997 with the mission of providing Chinese language and cultural materials. Our goal has been high quality items and service, at a fair price, that we would be proud to be associated with.
Initially ChildBook.com started with books and using the Internet as a way to sell them. People had to send in their checks and we shipped out the books, tapes, and some CD's. We then noticed that Video's are available that have the same format as the US including Disney with excellent quality. That means their daughter could watch Video's in Mandarin in the US. So Video's got added to ChildBook and the name lost some of it's meaning. Along the way, we got a shopping cart, SSL, changed E-Commerce systems to a database driven one, got very good at fixing bugs, and talked to a lot of wonderful customers, who we have made a very positive difference in their lives.
Our plan is to keep on improving ChildBook and providing great items and service to our customers. If you have any suggestions, problems, complaints, or questions, please send an E-Mail. The best part of running ChildBook.com is the positive feedback from our customers. Customer feedback is very educational and we honestly don't get enough of it.
