Well now that is the key isn't it?
Building a company that can make a good product at a reasonable price.
With today's level of technological savvy, i cannot believe that someone doesn't know how to make a good wall /ceiling bracket without breaking the bank.
There is a local company that builds outdoor, wooden, benchseat swings and sells them for $500. The cost of such an item at any other local store (i.e. Canadian Tire, Home Depot) nearly exceeds $1000.
So what is the difference?
cheap wood? Nope.
shoddy workmanship? Nope.
Non-profit organization? Yup.
Even big business will avoid smaller ventures if they cannot make 'enough' money from a product. If that cost-return simply isn't high enough then why build it eh?
This is a greedy greedy world.
GO KYOTO!!!
And thats my rant for the day.
