Welcome to episode 8 of the Reptile Entrepreneur. Today I talk to Todd Goode, president of LightYourReptiles.com. Todd has spent years working with overseas manufacturers to get his high end and specialty lighting products made. Todd comes on and shares the process so that you have another option for getting your products made. The quickest way to prototype a product to prove out a design is to find a manufacturer that makes a similar product who can tweak the design to match your specifications. They then can manufacture the product for you. Of course, this technique works with companies domestic and overseas, but we are increasingly finding that manufacturing for many industries has gone overseas and it is simply not an option to develop domestically. Manufacturing close to home is ideal if it is possible. But it is worth pulling up a seat and listening to Todd’s experience to be able to have overseas be an option.
