When it comes to a tangible retail product, it's going to be about the price. When someone else finds a way to reproduce your product for less money by leaving off the made in the USA label, what will you do?

Well, after 10 years, we're doing just fine. I think we'll just keep make'em here, and worry about the problems as they present themselves, ok?
But thanks for your concern.

What I think you guys should worry about is how you are gonna make money selling pictures and videos, when the whole world is giving it away.

About the only way I see to success, is to have a value added service that can't be duplicated easily.

so emp...just to steer this sideways a little, where do you buy your devices. I have never seen them for sale or have ever heard of anyone using them. I am really not trying to be rancorous just curious.

The "device" is ordered exclusively through our website, and a few select dealers. Most of our customers are "mature" men, and I'm thinking they're not big on advertising their use. We market it more as a sexual dysfunction tool.

The retail model, which in the adult industry is from 200-1,000% or more just doesn't work for a product like ours. So we've never sold it "retail." Although my background is bricks & mortar stores, this is just not a good fit for that. We have no immediate plans to market it that way either.
