A Peek Inside the Rain Barrel Business

Ahh... the rain barrel business. It is not what the average person thinks it is. Is is not a simple product doing a simple task and it does not simply grow. It is resin cost, lost shipments and small margins. It is also patent applications, copyright drawings and attempted competition from other sellers. Which I don't see as competition until they become unethical because I don't compete on that level. And the universe settles up with such people.

I got started doing this with such a simple idea. I wanted to help people save water. I knew that people needed a product to simplify the whole process. They needed a place to store the water so they could use it later. Something attractive enough to place outside their homes and safe around kids. Something that would last year after year. Sounds easy enough. Yea, sure.

So it was a simple idea gone way past anything described as simple. Because I do see that for it to have any impact on our water crisis it can't and won't ever be easy or simple. I can and do live with the reality of it all. Think Rain, Think Recycle! Lisa
