Insulating Business Growth with Ceramics
By now we all know that the economy is only slowly starting to recover after millions lost their jobs and businesses closed all over the country. Billions have come out of the economy and as a result spending for less than vital projects such as promotional advertising have been trimmed. Aside of the few businesses directly tied into major contracts with the government most other organizations have kept spending to a minimum.
That does not mean a popular or exciting product will go ignored. Take for example the 11 Ounce Double Wall Ceramic Mug which was released this year by Hit. There have been several other suppliers that have released similar products but what differentiates this offering from Hit is the fact that they actually have sufficient stock to sell during the busy season. With dual wall insulation your hands are protected and your drink stays warm or cold. Another interesting release is the Flexi-Vase which is something we have never seen before in the industry. It is a combination flower vase and paper weight that folds completely flat when not in use but is water tight as soon as it is filled. This is an ingenious idea and one that someone should patent as it eliminates the hassle of trying to store a bulk vase under the sink or in a cabinet. Another important attribute of the vase is that it is resistant to breaking which is important for a hospital or other similar facilities. Both of these products demonstrate that a popular or innovative product will sell even in a bad economy.
As I discussed yesterday the problems with my current phone continue to mount. Today it went off into voice control no less than seven times in the course of two hours. The only thing that seems to help is a hard reset. If others have any ideas I am all ears but at this point I am resigned to the fact that my expensive smart phone is one of the dumbest devices I have ever purchased. I talked awhile back about major retailers providing examples of poor customer service but today it appears a major international manufacturer is providing the best example of terrible service. With all the hype surrounding the new iPad I can only wonder how many deficiencies it will ship with and how tolerant customers will continue to be in that situation. Look for further discussions in the next few days regarding new and popular products.
