It goes to show that any ecommerce niche, no matter how small, stands to be profitable if you work at it for a while.
The best part of the show: When Terry asks Lloyd: “Do you guys just go to events and throw condoms at people?” when referring to his gorilla marketing tactics. LOL.
Before the call, Lloyd mentioned how at red lights he would get out throw condoms into people’s cars before driving off – LOL.
I have to say this is one of the best brand names I’ve seen. Love the logo too. It is definitely something you won’t soon forget.
