Find The Products The Big Stores Can't Afford To Carry And Make Them Available To The Public

Because the big stores can't afford to work with companies which can only supply a single product or a product with limited appeal, many great products never make it to retail shelves. (For detail, see Economics Of Mass Merchandising below.)

It is our mission to find these overlooked products and make them available to the public through this internet site.

Our on-line catalog displays the products we have found to date. We expect to continually expand our selection and hope you will visit us often. Your support is appreciated.

 

The Economics of Modern Mass Merchandising Keeps Many Products Out of the Stores.

Big box "superstores," with their thousands of items, may look like they offer any product a consumer could want. The truth is, though, that they don't.

Missing from the long aisle and ceiling-high shelves is a microwave accessory listed as a Parade Magazine "Buy of the Week." Nowhere to be found is the Miracle Mini Pump, a device featured in the syndicated "Gadget Guy" column, which can drain anything without electricity.

There is only one thing wrong with these and other useful and even independently endorsed products: they are produced by small manufacturers that offer a limited number of items, or stock keeping units (SKUs).

Big box stores are largely unequipped to work with single-SKU and limited-SKU producers. These chains' high-volume approach to purchasing and sales carries over into relationships with vendors. The administrative costs of including small producers in massive, centralized inventory systems discourage superstores from even considering single-SKU and limited-SKU vendors. The result is the public never gets to see many clever and helpful products.

In effect, the bureaucratic tail is wagging the retail dog, and consumers are being deprived of a wide range of helpful products.

Recognizing this evolving void in the marketplace, we are making a dedicated effort to find these overlooked products and make them available to you.

By providing a home in cyberspace for all the products the big stores can't afford to carry, we can eliminate the marketing barriers between small producers and consumers.

We continue to search for products from single-SKU producers and individual inventors. We are proud of our work and welcome your participation and support.
