‘  One hand nothing’t do?
   Do the best for you !             ’

This is the 74th version of my question (re. patented new floss
holder), and it is reposted due to changes. The floss holder's page:
http://www.geocities.com/emailerss/

Only researchers who have never answered my, googel-ga’s  questions
are invited to provide answer here (comments would be welcome).
From others any answer is good, 5 stars. Thank you.
Thank you.

Added to the web page is the is a picture showing a floss tensioner
layed on a credit card and the following:
‘One hand nothing’t do?
 Do the best for you !’


This floss tensioner is good for about 250 flossing of all the teeth
each time( 250 use).

Please answer the questions briefly, while your  comments following
the  brief answer would be welcome.
1. Is it clear from this web-page how to use this product, and how
many minutes have you (the researcher) spent on it?

2. Floss tensioners (with no floss) could be delivered by USPS in a
$0.40 non-certified mail which would be included in the price .
21.If a small US company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, then   would you place your first order online in the amount
of $3.33 for a six-pack (free shipping and handling, not certified)?
22.If ‘no’, what order would you like to place, in $ and how many f.
tensioners would you expect for the money ?
23.Would you place your order as soon as you were offered the product
online?

 

31. If a big US company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, but the product would belong to and come from a small US
company then   would you place your first order online in the amount
of $3.45 for a six-pack (free shipping and handling, not certified)?

32. If ‘no’, what order would you like to place, in $ and how many f.
tensioners would you expect for the money ?
33. Would you place your order as soon as you were offered the product
online?


4. Would you like to buy, and what is the highest price you would pay
for a sixpack in a grocery store (not online) ?

5. If a big US company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, but the product would belong to and come from a not 
American company --outside the US-- in certified mail then   would you
place your first order online in the amount of $3.45 for a six-pack
(free shipping and handling, certified)?
What is the longest delivery time you would accept?
42. If ‘no’, what order would you like to place, in $ and how many f.
tensioners would you expect for the money ?
43. Would you place your order as soon as you were offered the product
online?
  
 
Thank you.

Please stop posting your marketing survey and bribing researchers with
five stars to answer it.

1. 5 stars is not a bribe but a hint that in this case the only thing
what is needed is the researchers truth-worthiness  and that it is
assumed a-priori by me.
You can check all my comments. 
2. I would appreciate if you could clarify in name of who are you
warning me re.
"marketing".  
I think that what you call "marketing" is first of all an honest
warning: 'Editors,please check it out, maybe  rnh-ga is right re. this
question here?!! '

1.) Yes, if a little confusing. You might want to think about
instuctions in words beside the pictures. It could help out some
people understand your product.
5 Minutes spent on it

21.) For a small amount like that I would have no problem ordering
with a small company taking orders. However, to ease customer concerns
about being ripped off you might want to include a link to a site like
ResellerRatings (http://www.resellerratings.com/) which is a site when
people can rate retailers. As well, I do like anything with free
shipping and handling included in the price.

23.) Probably not. I like to shop around for products, so I would
likely look around and compare your floss tensioner with other
products, seeing what suits me best.

31.) I tend to order a lot from both big and small US companies, so I
wouldn't have a problem with this. $3.45 seems like a fair amount
considering shipping & handling is included.

33.) Same as 23

4.) The highest price I'd pay is $4 in a store

5.) I'm wary of purchasing items from outside the US (or Canada in my
case), mostly since customs likes to hold up orders and charge me
sales tax on them.

52.) The longest time I'd accept is ten days, anything longer than
that would be unacceptable.
53.) Same as 23

As for your new slogan, I'd think about improving it. "One hand
nothing’t do? Do the best for you !" doesn't really make sense to me,
or convey what your product is about. Sure, it does mention using one
hand, but it's not really clear. Maybe something like "One hand, easy
to use!" I'm not really a marketing slogan genius, but hopefully
you'll find something better ;)

The new credit card comparison does emphasize how small your flossing
device is, which I think is good, but I believe that higher quality
pictures would work better.

I hope this helps!
