It's a very special year for Ruby Lane – it's our 15th birthday! Needless to say, we at Ruby Lane, are proud to reach this grand milestone. While over the years many Internet businesses have come and gone, Ruby Lane remains as strong as ever. I recall that when we first launched the site, e-commerce was a new word and a relatively new concept. It's exciting to experience first hand how much things have evolved.

So for 2013, we're celebrating by having full year of promotional activities, some geared to buyers as well as many geared specifically to shop owners. Whether you've been buying or selling on Ruby Lane since we started in 1998, or maybe you just found us recently, we hope you enjoy these exciting yearlong events. The first of our promotions: The entire month of January has been Free Listing Month for our shops!

I want to thank everyone who has been a part of Ruby Lane through the years. Our commitment to maintaining a high-quality online community has never been stronger. As a company, we look forward to many, many more great years to come. We hope you'll continue to join us along the way.

Kind Regards,

Tom Johnson
