So anyone that has been talking to suppliers, knows that they have their own range of products you can stick your label on. Are these product designs made by the manufacturer or some innovative entrepreneur that comes to the manufacturer with the schematics. If it sells well, the manufacturer makes it one of their template products. If you are wondering why I care is because I constantly feel the pressure to innovate, but if most other companies do not, the pressure is less. Trying to be more innovative everyday, but I suck at it.
