We achieved the largest quarter of total sales in company history in Q1, highlighted by an 18.7% increase in OPTIMA™ sales over the same quarter last year, and crowned with a new company record for monthly sales in March. Here in the Upper Midwest, it’s always a good feeling to turn the corner into April – to leave winter behind and step into the spring selling season. That feeling is even better when the three months behind you were record-setting.

We’re primed to accelerate that growth. We set that all-time record for quarterly sales during the toughest part of the year – the months with the shortest, darkest days, the slowest retail activity, and the coldest, least comfortable selling conditions. In March, we closed the biggest month of sales in company history while a large number of our top sales reps literally spent a few days on the beach in Cancun for the Company Trip, and while the stock market faced its steepest losses since the pandemic due to tariff turmoil.

We are stronger than ever. We are delivering a critically important set of services to hard-working small business owners across the country. For the small businesses who count on us to help them show up visibly and attractively in local search results, the months ahead will be critical. Every consumer search, every call, and every customer visit that results from our work will matter more than ever.

As the lowest-cost provider of comparable full-service offerings in our industry, there’s never been a better time to lean in — to work the extra hours, sweat every last detail, and deliver powerful results for Main Street businesses.

Let’s commit to mirroring the growing season of spring in the way we work together at AMP, and recognize that big opportunities are opening up all around us. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in the first quarter, but even more excited about what’s ahead. Let’s carry this momentum forward, support each other, and make Q2 2025 the strongest quarter yet. Together, we’re helping small businesses win.
