Skullcandy will continue to produce products as usual. They will introduce a new line that uses SonoFit technology. SkullCandy will design, manufacture, and distribute the product while Sonomax retains a royalty. As I recall, Sonomax will get $2.50 per ear.
The significance:
- No manufacturing and production cost for Sonomax
- No advertising and promotion cost for Sonomax
- Cash straight to the bottom line
- Dealing with an established market share (100 million sales per year)
- Dealing with a company that has lost of celebrity endorsements
Sonomax does not want to produce and distribute products, they want lucrative royalty streams.
