RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:6969 and Home Depotby the way word of mouth will also be huge. So if JC is really impressed sees the cost savings in electrical bills and the unit works phenomenally well he will share that. Hopefully, whatever the case is we will get very honest feedback from those who are invested here. I invested in Mega Brands at one time and many people said that the product wasn't good. I didn't say too much when reading about it. I did end up buying a whole tub and it was exactly what people said. I never bought megabrands pieces again although I made a double off that gamble. I was actually surprised at how aweful it was. I did post on the boards that I bought the pieces and they just did not interlock properly.
lego had the patent on how its pieces fit together and fought against Megabrands but lost the lawsuit because the way the pieces locked were different. But I have had lego in the past and they are a million times better. I didn't like to say this because at that point i take pride in companies that i own. Under ideal circumstances I would be the same way and want companies to be the best out there but I have stopped looking at holding shares as though I am a part owner take tons of pride in the products but rather I am someone who strategically moves shares as needed to make monies. Sounds bad but if you get too close to seeing yourself as a part owner pride in the company and its products you may not be objective to the flaws despite them being glaring in your face.
That said, sometimes things just stop selling as well no matter how good or whatever the reason maybe. At one time I was invested in Respect Your Universe. The products were absolutely awesome but they were and still are fairly costly they are branding the items. The problem is that the brick and mortar stores kill the company because they are very expensive to have in costly cities. Vancouver is absolutely a huge killer as is New York. People think Canada is an easy market just like Target they came and got killed because they neither offered as competitive prices as Walrmar nor had as much of a selection. That said Canadians constantly get ripped off in terms of selection compared to US stores and I for one would love to see this change. Despite providing employment to people which is actually because Walmart knows it will make monies doing so, if you want to sell in Canada at least give us more selection if not what you get in the US way better than what we are currently getting. This is a pet peeve of mine about businesses opening up in Canada and just not giving a fraction of selection of what is in the US--that's quite the rip off actually! Sorry I know that we should be grateful because people are getting jobs but let's face facts if Walmart couldn't make monies they wouldn't come here so it is two ways. And I as a shopper would love to feel that we are valued not feel as though we don't get even 1/10 of what the US gets--that's pretty bad actually. I really hope all this changes.
Anyway it is all about getting recognized and strongly desired as a brand. You do that you have success!
