Clicks Meeting

This morning we met with Warren and Clive from Seven Stars at the Clicks offices here in Cape Town.  They were kind enough to let us talk to the Clicks contact on their time.  Unfortunately they contact said that the product would not be of interest to them, and that the cost of production for the product was excessively high, especially after adding VAT, retailer rebates and distribution center commissions on top on paying merchandisers.  This shows us that retail is a very hard business, and that you need to have something that others consider to be special otherwise you will not make it.  It has been a very enlightening experience having to consider all the little extra charges that are added all the way along. A tough market to try and get into.
