Hey everyone!

I`ve been listening to the podcasts for some time, following the step by step advice, and decided it is time to start contributing to the forum.

I`m about to START IT UP with my product in a few weeks and I`m looking forward to your comments as well as offering any help I can.

I love the anti-fanny pack idea.
I wore a fanny pack once. It was a humiliating experience. As I recall, I watched several hours of Dirty Harry and John Wayne movies to restore the masculinity lost during the experience.

Haha... the dreaded fanny pack. Works like a charm, but looks like a dork :) Looking forward to seeing your ideas. Welcome!

Congrats on taking the initiative!  It`s cool that you`ve gotten good guidance from the podcasts and resources here at SuN.

I browsed your site.  Cool, original product!  I have comment and a question.

Comment:  The name, Holdstalero.  I don`t get it.  I find it hard to read, say aloud, spell and remember.  I want to say "holster" without the "d" but then I stumble on the rest of it.  I like the exotic spaghetti western sound of it for say, a Wyoming ranch, but not a wearable product.  I think you will find it a difficult name to market.

Also, and I am sure you are aware of this product that I just found via Google - the Holdster.  I think you need a much different name than this obvious competitor which happens to have a more memorable product name.  You need to disassociate yourself from them.

Question:  What are you doing (or planning to do) to help people overcome the awkwardness they often feel for wearing something completely new and different?

FYI, throw some camo on that thing and start selling it to hunters. I`m dead serious its pefect for hunters, they need a spot for ammo thats an easy access, shoving them in your pockets is not a good idea but this makes perfect sense.

It looks to me like the guy with the Holdster product doesn`t
really have it together.  You can beat him to the punch easily...

but I concur that your product name is very awkward and
sticking with it could be a bad move.

Yes, the "other" product looks like they are off to a poor start.  You certainly have a leg up on them.

Yesterday when my wife was getting ready for work I told her how much I liked her fanny pack. She told me she wasn`t wearing one and hasn`t talked to me since. Whats wrong with these women?

Thanks for the info!!!

For one thing the name "holdster" is owned by baseball glove company (I did the trademark search) and TWO: I own the patent on the design.  THREE that design is not as practical as mine and finally....FOUR mine is far more baddasss!

I REALLY appreciate the comments.

PS I`ll explain the brand name in a future blog.  I live in SoCal so I am used to saying Mexican influenced words.
