Time is A-flyin'

Ok - 2 months has just flown by since our last post. We managed to take a break from building Draw Collars for most of July, and we're starting to gear up to resume production. (however, we do have a wedding in the family this month, so it may be a little light on the Draw Collar side of things...)

John has been spending a lot of time on the phone and emailing to get distributors excited about things, and hopefully to spur them into placing an order. We have been getting a few small-ish orders here and there, but nothing huge. But still, it's progress!

This past weekend John was back in New York (Arcadia) for a dealer show put on by Empire Distributing. It was a great trip and John was excited to talk to some new dealers and to teach them a little about how to sell the product once it's in their stores.

He was also able to debut the new showroom sized display box that demonstrates the powerful draw that is created by the Draw Collar. These display/demo boxes are available for purchase, and are a great tool to help customers see for themselves how it works.















This is not the GREATEST picture of the box, but it does show the smoke being sucked back down the clear pipe, and through to the other side...



We are getting ready to place ads in some industry magazines, and hopefully there will be a few editorials that will discuss the merits of the Draw Collar. Hopefully as the fireplace season starts to gear up, we will start seeing the orders pouring in...
