The Future Of Catspit
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:54 pm
Unfortunately I am sad to announce the Print Supplies program that supports the continued production of free educational videos on YouTube is failing. It seems these days with giant juggernaut print supply companies that saturate the market with their cheap products and discount specials it is almost impossible to get people to use my promo codes.

Our anchor vendor has left us very abruptly. Eventually I will have to discontinue the Print Supplies program altogether. I have decided not to seek another anchor vendor or any replacement vendors for that matter. I will end the program in its entirety by the end of 2013.
Here’s why:
The whole program was intended to support the production of 2 to 3 videos each week which takes a tremendous amount of time to produce and upload. The vendors who sponsor the program are supposed to be participating as a way to build brand recognition on the internet and get “brownie” points for supporting free education online. It was supposed to be about branding and online presence. So far only one of the vendors who participated engaged me and actively worked with me to build their brand. But in today’s corporate world the return on investment is king. Therefore most companies feel that if they do not turn a profit on their financial investment in the Print Supplies program then the cost is not validated.
I want to make it clear that I have nothing bad to say about any of our vendors. In fact I will continue to be a dealer for RhinoTech, MacDermid Autotype and perhaps Saati products as well as continuing our dealership for RANAR equipment. We will also continue to sell RiCOMA heat press equipment. We will no longer be affiliated with our anchor vendor in any way. We have parted ways due to poor sales.
I will sell specially chosen supplies through RANAR direct to you all. I hope to be able to sell more products direct rather than with the promo codes. That will be a huge challenge for me to accomplish however due to the fierce competition from Godzilla like print supply companies. It may take some time to sell any amount that will be enough to support the videos. But the educational program will now be supported by your direct purchases. So the future of Catspit is literally in your hands.
I want to take the time to thank everyone who ever has used any of the promo codes. Thank you all very much. I appreciate that and it did get us this far. Hopefully we can figure out how to move forward and keep making videos. I enjoy it too much to give up easily but I also have to be practical.
Thank you for your support and I hope to see you on the other side
