As Displayname posted, expanding portfolio with different brands increases sales without the fear of the main company dominating the market in perception. Food companies have been buying out the natural/organic brands to change image and increase sales without spending the initial build up and R&D. General Mills bought Cascadian Farms and Muir Glen. Kellogg's bough Kashi and Gardenburger, Coca Cola bought Honest Tea, Hansen's/BlueSky, and Zico Coconut Water. Hormel bought Applegate Farms. Seems large electronics companies are just doing the same as the food companies.
Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt
Hi - I recently heard 2 speakers in the Performa3 line and was very impressed. Reading about the company' s research efforts and scientific approach to design furthered by respect for Revel's products. As I'm in the middle of a speaker search I happened to mention to a audio dealer hearing Revel speakers and my favorable experience. He doesn't carry Revel and wrote to me that he heard that they are having financial problems and will be dropping Revel. This doesn't make sense to me and I couldn't find any news that backs up his statement. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it just the dealer's "sour grapes"
thanks!
thanks!
