UNLESS the quality is *clearly* worth the price.

I would recommend you reconsider your target market. The purpose is to make miswak holding easier and more practical. We should have an intention that perhaps this product could make miswak holding stand more widespread, anything other than a niche.

Also, since this is a new product out there perhaps a penetration pricing strategy may be best to get people to try it out at the start. Hence my low price range.

I am talking here on a customer perspective. If I see this miswak holder for > 20 I will not buy it. I would rather cope with the slight inconvenience of wrapping my miswak in a free plastic bag whenever I want to use it and put this money somewhere else. Not to mention that $20 can bring me A LOT of miswaks.

I understand where you are coming from, though.
There are two possible customers I could think of:
1. Someone who already uses miswak and would find this product useful (don’t think would accept > 20 price range)
1. Someone who doesn’t use miswak because he finds it difficult to keep it clean and is excited by this new product (would probably accept higher price range)

Walaykumussalam:

Yes, you are right Abdullah! Moon-tech is a Canadian distributor for e-Alim. The actual manufacturer is a Hong Kong based company called Enmac:

Apologies for the mistake.

Majid.

Salam,

You video said that Moon Technologies is the manufacturer.

They are just a distributor, right?

Wassalam,

Salam, the product itself looks good, I might get it.

I am just concerned with battery life, and the eye strain for reading it for a long time. Also, I like to highlight things and take notes as a I read, can I do that here?

And let me review your review:
- the word “conceptualize” is too long and does not fit with the short monosyllabic words
- Camera Shakes, too low res
- Bad sound quality with background noise, don’t use the camera mic, use a special mic and HD camera for this

Hmm.. that’s an interesting observation Mike. You’re right, it’s off the Appstore and the developers don’t even mention the application on their homepage (http://www.fishbonedevelopment.com/) anymore.

I’ll contact the developers to find out more. Thanks for the share!

Shame that this app has been removed from the Apple Store.

Comment on Concept: Random Number Generator (RNG) by Bruce

Creative way to think out of the box, however you need to take this idea through a scholar before implementing it. What makes you so sure that using RNG isn’t just a different way of committing the same haram? Could the concept of wasting time with random numbers coming from dice BE the haram (not a shape of a die in and of itself)? Since USING dice in a game like backgammon is makes it haram, how are you sure that just using an RNG instead of dice in backgammon/risk could not fall under the same category of haram?

I am not saying it is haram. I just want these questions to be answers so that efforts not go to waste by going with the concept and get all excited about it then it turns out scholars rejected it.

I second that. People must be completely thinking we are profit starved business men eh?

Honestly speaking, I think it would cost much more than we are speculating to make a really good product like this. It’s an entirely new design, and would take some start-up costs/design work to get underway. I guess, you shouldn’t price higher just because people value it more – the value should actually be in the product itself and that’s the aim with the Fancy Miswak Holder.

Yep custom calligraphy sounds a bit far fetched. 4-5 different designs (limited editions maybe) would be cool. We haven’t yet had a discussion about where we would sell these?

Any ideas about different promotional channels for the Fancy Miswak Holder?
