Case Study: Six Forty Homestead achieves nationwide online sales growth with Hughes Network Systems' HughesNet for Business

HughesNet for Business Powers All-natural Products Business on the Tennessee Wine Trail

Six Forty Homestead is an 18-acre family farm in rural Hampshire, Tennessee, that produces honey, soaps, salves and more and sells through farmers markets and an online catalog. Limited terrestrial Internet options and costly, capped service hindered their ability to maintain a growing web presence, so they switched in January 2016 to HughesNet for Business from Hughes Network Systems to support online orders and social media marketing.

Hughes Network Systems delivered a HughesNet for Business plan with real-time usage tools and optional bandwidth tokens, enabling the Haseltines to run their website, process transactions, upload product photos, and manage Facebook and Instagram campaigns. As a result, web sales now account for about 35% of total revenue and the business ships roughly 70–100 orders per month nationwide, while benefiting from better cost-per-bandwidth and more predictable connectivity.
