often imitated...


i am disappointed (and frankly a bit pissed) tonight. why you might ask? b/c i was looking at some products another SBing company has put out and it looks a lot like our paisley chipboard sets. it isn't that we have the market on paisleys but you have to ask yourself when the designs punch out EXACTLY like ours, where does the line get drawn from "inspiration" to something else? i won't mention any names here but if you see some out there that looks like ours but isn't, you will know. and on that note, we have noticed some other companies "being inspired" by our tins also. i guess the question is where is the line drawn on inspiration to something else?
but you know what, we move on, deb and i counted 92 new products for CHA summer and you can be sure that they will be cutting edge and you won't be able to beat our packaging with the value. that is what we have built in 3 years. you can't take that from us.

How does that phrase go: imitation is the best form of flattery? GIANT HUGS!!! We still know where the original inspiration and talent came from!!!

You know, I thought the same thing when I saw the shameless imitation...but you know what...they really can't compare to your product. Maya Road rocks. Always has. Always will.
