    Very exciting. Care to share a little bit about what product market you're in without getting too specific?

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    You know, I admit I've been torn about this - and no, I didn't do any testing. After having read the book "22 Immutable Laws of Branding", and received some insight from others - I might place the company logo right above the product name - but in a smaller, subtle way.

    I don't know yet if I will share sales figures here, but I will think about it. I will start off slow with sales channels and scale out if/as necessary:) Thanks. Yeah in a way it kind of is 'heart medicine' too, although not medically speaking but more in terms of its direct or indirect...

    Thanks, 1step. Yeah I will still use the original company name and it is now on the back side of the bottle. The company name was originally also meant to be the product name - but I changed my mind.

    That is a great follow-up right there from Todd and thanks again for sharing, Vigilante. This should clear up the situation and I agree we don't need any more deep debate about this at this point. There is obviously some rivalry and competitive business practices in the UPC industry, but as long...

    Good point and I think you are right. It's like social security numbers or credit card numbers. They have to have certain digits in certain places - in relation to one another. I think for instance with social security numbers - one of the digits means odd or even for male/female or vice versa...

    Thanks for chiming in here with your thoughts, Vigilante. This is interesting for sure, and yeah it might be a bit too soon to jump to conclusions I agree. Please post your findings here when you know anything more. Mods can move the thread into Product Development if they like. I almost...

    Good news, bad news, but a blessing in disguise... So, I finally received my shipment on Friday from the manufacturer! But - they messed up my bottles and printing pretty bad - to the point where I don’t feel comfortable selling them. First off - they had used black caps instead of white...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    I can totally relate to this. I have really enjoyed my prototyping work. The feeling of seeing, feeling, and testing something you made from scratch - from a concept in your head - and know you and others can find it useful...is a great feeling!

    A good friend of mine made me aware of something this weekend that I felt only was right to share here on the forum, especially because I know many of you (including myself) have been buying their UPC barcodes from Cheap-UPC-Barcode [dot] com. This info comes from George Laurer the originator...

    Great post, MJ. And Vick - doubt is just our built-in protection mechanism to make sure we don't get hurt. I have been there too with my products a few times but I come out of it everytime when I have reassured myself (or others have reassured me) by putting my concerns to rest with valid...

    Hey there, I would say that my experience with advertising and marketing has been a very big advantage. Knowing how to sell is one of the most important things entrepreneurs should learn. The more you know about the how's and the why's of "people buying things" - the better prepared you will be...

    A Little Air - An Introduction from LA & A Thank You

    Very cool.. that was a great movie too. What kind of hardware are they typically running the renders on? From what I know I believe that most of the blockbuster CGI movies (Shrek, etc.) probably run all rendering on a a network of interlinked, powerful hardware units (I picture in my head rack...

    Downloading it now and look forward to listening to it. Btw, I couldn't help but notice it says you're an aspiring screenwriter as well. That's one thing I would really like to get into when I have more free time. I have a couple of screenwriting books on my Amazon buy list, and have made notes...
