Too Long; Didn't Read

Grafomap, an online store that sold personalized map posters, was bought by a buyer from the printing industry whose name I cannot disclose. After a few years in business, we had experienced a hell of a rollercoaster ride – from Black Friday to Valentine’s Day when sales were spiking, to off-season when a mild depression took us over. At one point, Martins and I had to take out personal loans to save the business.
