Behind TGV Brands: My Story

Hey there, I'm Tim - and yeah, I'm probably older than you think.

At 51, I'm not your typical "young entrepreneur crushing it" story. I'm just a regular guy who started TGV Brands in January 2025 because I got tired of seeing people get ripped off for basic stuff they need.

Look, I'll be straight with you - I don't have huge profit margins. My "Buy More, Save More" deals? I'm barely making anything on those. But here's the thing: I'd rather sell more for less than less for more. Call me crazy, but I think the average person deserves a break.

Now, I'm not gonna lie and say I'm always the lowest price - sometimes I'm not. And I can't get products on your doorstep the next day like the big guys. I try not to rely on those large corporation delivery systems. But what I can offer is honest pricing and personal service.

I've been grinding on this store by myself, working at my own pace, trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing. When I first started importing products, I mainly relied on their preset descriptions while I focused on rearranging and working my store to look better and function better - all on a limited budget.

My original system had its limitations - it was still a strong protocol, just monotoned. Had to go back and re-optimize over 1,100 products to give them more personality.

But here's where it gets interesting - I've been working with Shopify's AI assistant (I call him Buggy, don't ask why), and together we developed what I'm calling the "Buggy Five Protocol." Now before you roll your eyes, this isn't some get-rich-quick scheme. It's just a better way to make products sound professional and engaging.

Buggy does the heavy lifting on the writing, I press the buttons. It works.

My store's a variety store - everything from jewelry to fishing gear to home stuff. If you need it, I probably carry it. And if you're looking for something specific and having a hard time finding it, just contact me through the store - I'll use what I have to help you search for it.

Bottom line: I'm here to help regular people get what they need at fair prices. No fancy marketing, no corporate speak. Just honest business.

That's TGV Brands. That's me. That's the story.
