2009 Revenue – Looking Back
This graph is a chart of how much revenue Prelude Interactive brought in last year, by month, and color coded by client. Just like the contractors chart, there’s not a huge amount that we can learn, but it does tell a semi-accurate picture of the year. Light Blue is my biggest nonprofit client, and their three spikes represent the start or completion of major phases of development of their SalesForce applications.
Also critical to our continuing to live indoors is Orange, another development firm who feeds us a consistent, fresh pile of PHP web application work every month. Being a sub-contractor for Orange, Gray, and Taupe really drove the business last year. Green is actually a small asteroid that broke off Orange in July.
As for how we got these clients, in all cases except Light Blue, we either stumbled into the work through a referral or just plain dumb luck. Maybe someday we’ll need to do more sales and marketing, but until then, the fantastic network we love so much does the job quite well.
