Another opinion please

Post by Tex1961 »

Due to board rules and regulations, I'm not allowed to advertise, do any giveaways or anything like that. I've been a member here for a few years now, but I also own a small company that manufactures add ons such as grips, etc for firearms... That being said, if this post violates any rules my apologies and please delete..

I have a new product that I will be putting out on Amazon and my own site soon, but not to sure if it is something that would be a good seller or not... I wanted to post it here to get your thoughts...

This is a set of 3 magnetic paint templates for steel targets, of course they can be used on anything... There are other products on the market, however they are basic round target templets.. These reflect more detail and accuracy for small game and sighting in....

Just looking for yall's thoughts and suggestions... I am thinking of retailing this set on Amazon and other marketplaces that I sell on for $14.99 for the set of 3

For those of us that shoot steel, or have a home range, these would be a cool thing to have for occasional use... and the price seems fair. :tiphat:



I think you are ok with putting a link to your business in the sig line, provided it adheres to the rule copied below:
18. Business logos and use of business names as user names are prohibited Do not use a logo in signature lines, as an avatar, or in the body of posts. (Logos can be included in the body of a post, if it is germane to the subject matter of a post that is not commercial in nature.) This rule does not prohibit placing a link to your business website in your signature line once you have 45 meaningful posts, but such links must be in default font size. At no point can you use your business name as your username.

Your biggest concern *might* be the Chinese fakes not merely competing with you but actively hijacking your listing; google this.
Yea... Believe me I know... Been doing this for about 17 years now.... I have found some of my product already on Alibaba. Unless I want to file for a patent (10k) and then the legal $$ to fight the Chinese, it's almost impossible... I'm just a very small company so all I can do is try to keep my prices reasonable and quality high... Also make sure and have a good customer service and warranty service for my customers...

True, I don’t really have anything new, mostly my own twist of products already out there. I offer a lot of customization on things such as grips, AR15 plates and magazine base plates.
