Today, we are not selling products or service, but our dreams!

Hi everyone, we are Vincent Tong and Henry Tong. We are twin brother. Few years back, we wanted to start our own business. We did some research online and came across with the gift giving idea. We thought it would be a great idea. Therefore, we opened a small gift shop in nearby TAR College.

The shop wasn’t spacious. It took near 3 steps to hit the wall.

We had only a small amount of stock, a printing machine and a computer. 

Unfortunately, we closed the shop after 6 months due to inexperience in business management and bad location selection.

However, We did not give up there. Not just yet. We had decided to start all over again in our hometown, Klang.

Hereby, we would like to thank all our friends and family members for all the mental support and financial support. Besides that, they were constantly introducing customers to us. For that we are very grateful and it was vital for our survival. We didn’t let go any chance of earning money. Be it on T-shirt printing, packaging, assembling trophies, product delivery we have done basically everything.

To further growing the company, we setup Printcious.com. It is an e-commerce website where ordinary user can design their own products (T-shirt, mug, cushion, puzzle, phone cases & more than 60 gifts) freely through online design tool, without the need of designing skills or design background! As we whole heartedly believed in the philosophy, “Giving with Art is Giving with Heart”, we hope that this would eventually become a culture and widespread to the whole world.

During our early entrepreneur days, we fully dedicated ourselves to learn more about the online marketing skills like SEO, SEM, SMO and more. Through that we hope to get our gift-giving idea spread like a wildfire to the world, with the lowest possible cost.

Today, we have won some awards and got recognition such as 2017 SITEC Top Merchant E-Commerce Awards & 2016 PIKOM Best of Start-Up Companies (Merit) Award.

We are honored to get featured in several media on our online personalized gift ideas and our business module. With all the recognition, we have also received Cradle CIP500 fund which further supported our business in the market industry in terms of fame and sales revenue.



In 2015, we were selected to join a special 4 months training by MaGIC Accelerator Program. We were lucky to be picked out of the 1,000 new companies in the list. The following year 2016, MaGIC sponsored us to Silicon Valley & Stanford University in United States to have a 2 weeks visit & learning trip.

Google has also invited us as the honorable guests to share our entrepreneur experience to the new startups. By doing this, Google hopes that it will give an idea the new startups on how to efficiently use Google to find new leads & open up new markets.

Furthermore, we have been actively participating events held by MaGIC, SITEC, and Malaysian Gifts & Premium Association (MGPA) to share his SEO & SEM knowledge to the fellow participants.

Why we want to join “圆梦工厂创业大赛”?
First of all, we hope that we get to know more friends, who are working hard towards their entrepreneur dream. We hope that we can get encouragement and learn from each other.

Secondly, we hope to learn from all the gurus’ experience so that we could avoid mistakes.

Lastly, we hope that we can get the chance to visit Phison Electronics Corporation and AppWorks in Taiwan to get a closer learning experience together.
 

Today, we do not sell products or service but our dreams!
We hope that you can feel and share our passion in achieving our entrepreneur dream. If you felt inspired by us, we hope to get some donation from you all. Our target is to get more than RM 8,000 before 30 November 2017. We would like to thank everyone once again! ^_^
