Investment would allow us to do more promotion, grow our catalog, bring a designer onto the team and seek out another developer. There are several things I want to do, but I get so caught up in day to day things (answering the phone, responding to customer e-mails, etc.) less development gets done. Further, we write every description on our website, writing isn't cheap. We have over 1,000 products now, but have about 5,000 in a database we want to carry. Everything needs photos, often they need to be cleaned up, photoshopped, the specs found and fact-checked. Basically, each product we add costs us about $20. New products come out every week, so a lot of money goes to that. The ability to increase our catalog quicker would be awesome. Beyond the investment, the expertise the person has, the contacts, the outside interest he/she could bring, would be far more beneficial for us than the money. To answer your question directly, we are not doing manufacturing, but we could. And probably should. Not yet, anyway.
