ya i was just foolin, i bet his ball sweat would be the secret ingredient in A314…he is that alpha
as for the limit on the cart, i think thats a brilliant idea. It really sucks i probably wont ever get a chance to try mx353, ive heard alot of great things about it. I am getting crazy hits with my a314 ammo and is combo though. This mix makes older women go nuts..i need to hit a cougar bar.
Hey Jas
how are you? I hope everything is going well
I have been reading your informative posts and glad that you could be back and things are turning for the better(if god wills). I like the new cart system but isn’t that going to create new concerns for you guys?. if lets say you released 50 quantaties of each product, what garentees that you would get to sell all of them? alot of people favour one mix over the other. isn’t it better to just keep restocking when it finishes and not limit anyone? business wise?, I read somewhere that your aim is research and innovation, but wont that slow down the funding for more research if you can’t sell everything in your stock?.
thanks for your time
Take care of yourself and god bless you in this life and after.
Project UF will be coming out today. Get that instead. They do use some TAF.
Part 1 of the pack has mixes that are like more controlled, more stripped down versions of MX353. They should be more consistent.
Honestly, I don’t think MX353 was ever much better than “The Edge”. Maybe a little. With Project UF, which is being done with an outside interest in mind that doesn’t mind marketing the sex type stuff, we want to be a lot better.
The principle of the P series and MXs is to keep the prices the same for everything, so testers don’t get psychological bias from price.
It’s very true that if you charge more for something people will value it more and often hallucinate benefits that aren’t there.
The thing with chemicals you have to remember is that the more something is synthesized the more the of a chance chemists have to try to figure how to make it more cheaply. It’s called “process development”. When we have a whole bunch of money to throw at the chemist, he probably will be able to figure out a better process which is both less time consuming (less labor cost) and also leads to better yields (less waste of base stock).
In other words, it’s a coincidence TAF just happens to be amazingly potent, hard to synthesize and expensive. It doesn’t always work like that. There are much easier to synthesize molecules that have great effects, and much harder and more expensive molecules that don’t have much effect at all.
When we charge the same price, it helps remove price bias. It’s a key to the research project. Without it, we’d be testing the placebo effect of price points and not molecules!
That’s exactly right. Our roots are in innovation, trying new things. Not business as usual. We’re an R&D department that ships, that’s what drives us and makes us get up in the morning, so that’s what we’re gonna ship. New stuff.
You’d be 100% right if only we could get new chemicals, and get them at a nice price.
Unfortunately, that’s not always true. There’s two things that are working against us:
Our chemist’s business is almost out of business. He’s struggling, and can’t keep up our demands. He’s loaded down with debt from some of his other customers who defaulted last year. He even had trouble buying base stock. It’s that bad.
When your suppliers hurt, you hurt. We didn’t make him hurt or cause his problems, but we’re trying to make him hurt less. He’s a good guy, and probably the best chemist for these types of molecules on the planet, ever. He supplied all the original studies for androstadienone and estratetraenol that you see in science journals.
He’s one of the main reasons Androtics has single handedly moved from the 1 to 3 pheromone paradigm to more than 30 usable molecules in only a few years, so he’s worth helping out.
Occasionally we test mixes that cost more to make than we sell them.
As stupid and anti-business as it sounds, yes, we’ve sold androstadienone that cost us $9 per mg for $9 per mg (which is part of the reason we don’t do that anymore, not to mention it’s depressive effects).
We’ve sold P series molecules that cost us $50 per mg for $9 per mg. (to the most aware testers only, of course)
We’ve sold MXs that cost us $28 to make for $14.95. And then after that, there’s points, overhead, shipping subsidies (we pay more for shipping than we charge), servers, 800 numbers, support, formulators, shipping people, etc. etc. So we lose money all around sometimes.
Think of us as an R&D department that ships. Not everything we ship makes money. R&D sometimes just doesn’t make money, and that’s ok.
Our business model is basically get new people onboard, sell 'em some of our pseudo-consumer products which do make money, and then use that money to really treat the people that give us feedback well. That feedback then ultimately leads to better consumer products, so it’s a positive cycle when it works.
The main profit we earn here is information. We believe strongly in delayed gratification, and will use this information one day to make true social consumer products someday that hopefully change the world for the better with deeper rapport and kindness all around… and for us, maybe let us go vacation in Hawaii and other fun places the Brady Bunch went.
God bless,
Jas
PS – We do it this way because we felt the typical way pheromone companies have marketed since 1980 has been dishonest. They always put wild claims first, and never had a product that delivered. They’ll put $25k into a sales letter, and $100 into product development. Sounds like a scam to me. We’re not into that! As Michael always said, “you have to invent the lightbulb first before you sell it”. Some modern marketers get that backwards. Cart before the horse problem.
Thanks for making it more clear
God bless you jasmine and all the other for your awesome selfless intentions. May god reward you in this life and after
