As a starting company with a new product I have no clue if there is demand for the product.
Offcourse friends and family say its amazing, on that basis I could have mass produced 10.000 of them in China.
(That’s the amount it takes to get a reasonable economic per piece price)
If it turns out I’m unable to sell them, I’m left with a lot of waste, which is bad for the environment.
Besides that putting 10.000 KiteboardTags on a boat from China isn’t that environmental friendly as well.
By producing enough to meet demand, close to where the demand is, helps reduce footprint.
