In the last few years we have focused on developing relationships for sourcing in Asia. We now have the capability to source products “Turnkey” including printing of packaging and displays in the Orient. The key to any successful product is up front analysis as well as accurate costing and the setting of the first price. Many good products have failed because pricing would not allow profitable operation or inadequate market and competitive analysis rendered the venture unable to compete in the marketplace. Even with the best work up front, products still sometimes fail. Fortunately Keystone is batting over 80%.
