This device is not intended to satisfy building codes, but rather is an add-on to provide added security during a storm. Do I need government approvals before a product can be sold to the public (and therefore before I can market to distributors and retailers)? <br /> Also I am planning to produce a short video of the product as a marketing tool. Any marketing suggestions would be appreciated. This could be retailed by major home improvement retailers or sold by hurricane shutter companies which are plentiful in hurricane prone areas.<br /> I am moving forward steadily with this project. Your suggestions will be very much appreciated.<br /> <br /> Robert Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:49:56 GMT Busi_101 http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread.jspa?messageID=46515&amp;tstart=0#46515 2008-11-06T02:49:56Z Nov 5, 2008 9:49 PM
