Don't have a storefront? No worries, mate. Two ways to sell these babies....
A. Purchase from me, mark 'em up a few dollars each pair, and sell outright: ....right then & there at the store or music outlet. Double your investment. Ask to speak to whomever's in charge. Chances are, they'll realize the stick's appeal and will pay up front. All sticks include a tied-on label. You can do the same on commission, though you'll be surprised at how often store managers will fork over the dough - if you insist on getting paid right away. Sell on the internet: either individual pairs, or in package/lots on Ebay. Suggest: a package of 10 pairs: $125 postpaid (yields you a profit of around $55). |
B.
Arrange for an outlet to purchase a quantity order As soon as I get payment, I'll cut you a 15% commission check and will drop ship the Thai-Sticks directly to them. It's mutually advantageous for you to get your fair share. You get commissions each time store re-orders ...it's your account. NOTE: As far as I know, no person has yet tried to tap in to potential big customers in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. We're talking BIG POTENTIAL untapped market - music equipment outlets that sell thousands of drumsticks per week.

| If you're a drummer, you know that good-quality bundled drum sticks are not readily available in music stores. The ones you find are a wimpy sort of pseudo wood with black plastic wrappers. One drummer mentioned that using Thai-Stix (compared to regular wooden sticks) was like using a nice fat ballpoint pen rather than a skinny standard one. They're also slightly pliable - easier on a drummer's wrists. And hold up to trap set drumming, including merciless rim shots, as well as wood sticks. |
