Pretty good marketing on that one.  It's funny, we will remember it, and probably see it again.

It's sad that no one can come up with an original idea anymore.

I'll give Ryonet one thing... they are a "smaller" company.  But these large multinational corporations that are ripping off old spice's commercials and such are just shameful.

My wife was picking up some Old Spice deodorant for me and noticed it said on the back, "If your grandfather hadn't used it, you wouldn't be here". They are damned original.

For the most part unrelated but remembered because of that story...  Back when I was like 16 Diamond Shamrock (gas station) had a billboard out on the interstate that said "What the car passing you is using."

I was passing that billboard one day and was passing a car at the same time so I honked and got his attention then pointed up at the sign.  You see, we had a Diamond Shamrock across the street from my father's business and that WAS what was in the car passing them.

Wow, I can't help thinking that nothing about that ad made me want to purchase anything. I love jokes, but when it comes to supplies and equipment I don' wanna be entertained.

You do have to realize who their target market is and in that they do a great job attracting them.

Someone told me that that guy in the Ryonet video actually knows nothing about screenprinting, that he actually made his money in a boyband that failed after a small bit of success. He later invested that money into a supply business.  Who knows if its true, may be a myth... ???

If I never used them before I may think that it is too silly. But...because I have been very satisfied with their service I am even happier to order from them.

their turn times, product availability and fast free shipping with a discount code is why I still shop their for most stuff, but I gotta get it on sale plus the discount and free shipping and its worth it.

I think he printed for his band and some others... but used DIY equipment... then started building more for other people to make ends meet.  That's where everything took off.  At least I think that is THEIR story.

He didn't say what kind of band... but it is what it is... you sure can't knock the guy for his success!
