[Nichepi]

Looking to come out with a new line of silicone hose kits for the mustang market. Looking for recommendations of company's that manufacture silicone hoses in a multitude of colors just not traditional black.

They have been used in performance applications throughout Europe for decades. Excellent quality and come in a variety of different colors too.

Unfortunitely that would be considered a competitor company with soem "other" companies I do work for or sponsor our sema projects so I can't work with them. Pretty much the only company out there, but you happen to hit that only one on the head.

Why are you asking us to do your market research?

Well I do already have 7 companies I've been speaking to on this project for quoting, but I'm always whiling to evaluate other companies inside the US as well.

I guess perhaps it was ignorant on my part to consider people on this board might have recommendations without putting up some sort stupid remark like “market researchâ€

Dave, there is a big difference between a doctor recommendation, and "hey, I'm trying to sell some hoses for my business, who should I buy from?"

Well I think my point was a form of just being nice.

It's like, Why do we need some condescending view to begin with?

I believe I just find it baffling for such a statement because when I’ve spoken to brian he's never a mean person or had such "attitude", so why bring such attitude just because were on a forum board?

 

Yes I’ve taken extensive time to research companies to initially speak to.

I’ve taken steps to speak with companies at sema and aapex, using reference information from our sema catalog and PRI catalogs, and useful feedback from other marketing managers in the industry. Several companies recommended the Globalspec website which I'm moving through as we speak.

 

But then again, I would like to think that feedback and information from the "real racers" in the industry is also good pivotal info. If I thought this board was full of stupid people I most likely would have never posted. Obviously I don't think that. So it becomes baffling when people want to put attitude over a simple question.

 

Of course to me its a simplistic question, to you I'm sure your just saying what has this dumbass done to help himself And hey I'm all for outlining initally taken steps.
