About Tanya Crew, owner of Motorcycle Works in Carson City
Tanya Crew began selling motorcycle accessories out of her college apartment more than 13 years ago. As a single mom and student, she was looking to make some extra money for tuition and bills.
She chose to start her online store with eBay because set up was quick, selling was easy, and there were tons of buyers on the site. It was a decision that has really paid off. Thirteen years later, she’s put her own son through college, and instead of working at home, she runs her thriving business out of a 2,500 square foot warehouse. It hasn’t always been easy, the Great Recession hit Northern Nevada particularly hard, but Tanya never lost her entrepreneurial spirit, her drive to succeed, or her passion for motorcycles.
About the eBay SHINE Awards for Small Business
eBay launched the Shine Awards for Small Business in 2016 to recognize the achievements of small businesses within the eBay community. Categories include Woman-Owned business, Growing Business, Global Business, Charitable Business, and Family Business.
Voting for the deserving winners across all categories is open to the public until July 11 at http://ebay.promotionexpert.com/smbofyear/.
“Since the very beginning, the story of eBay has been the story of entrepreneurs taking a dream and turning it into a business – starting with our founder, Pierre Omidyar, whose idea for an online buying and selling website became the global marketplace that never sleeps. In a sense, the Shine Awards are about going back to our roots and celebrating the very spirit of eBay” said Hal Lawton, in an eBay blog.
As described in the story, Motorcycle Works is an eBay driven business so its warehouse isn't really setup for a lot of walk in traffic, although Crew says it does get quite a lot of walk-ins from local customers who see them on eBay.
Motorcycle Works is located at 3072 Research Way Ste 52, Carson City, the last building on the right before you reach Harley-Davidson. For more information visit the website at www.motorcycleworks.com.
