Metalsmith BenchTalk on BlogTalkRadio with Jay Whaley

On the August 26th show, at 3PM Pacific and 6PM Eastern, my guest is Benjamin Mark, of Tyler-Adam Corp., a direct marketer to Internet consumers. For details see: http://www.tyler-adam.com/ The 'about us' section of the company specifies: 'For the last ten (10) years we've also operated The Diamond Bourse, Ltd. which devotes itself, among other things, to the searching out and buying of high quality diamonds for resale on the Net. For those of you who have become accustomed to buying your diamonds from Tyler-Adam Corp., The Diamond Bourse with my family in Antwerp supplying the stones. This will help in keeping our prices as low as possible and extremely competitive. There was a time, not too long ago, when a familiar refrain rang thrillingly through the ears of the adventurers of the middle 1800. Horace Greeley said it in an editorial in the New York Tribune, and I paraphrase: Go West, Young Man, Go West. To those of vision, the new refrain of today rings as strongly, if not more strongly, than that one of old: Go Internet Young Man, Go Internet. We heard the cry and we responded. We knew we were not alone. We knew we were in good company. We knew we needed to find our niche. We decided to put Tyler-Adam Corp. in a position of manufacturer, direct to retail buyer. Hence: "Manufacturer's Direct" in our logo. Normally, we mark-up to the reseller who then marks-up to you, the end user. Our new business thrust creates the following advantage to both you, the ultimate consumer, and us, the primary source: You will avoid the expense of double mark-ups. We will go retail and get to deal direct. You will buy more economically from us--our Quality Control staff will ensure you get top caliber merchandise--and we will have the advantage of having an exclusive world wide clientele. It's a win/win situation all around.' Please join us for a fun and informative hour!
