Forecast Demand
A Pre-Order greatly helps us forecast demand. We don't know if we're going to sell 100 units or 100,000 units. A Pre-Order gives us data so we can scale production to match demand. We also need to consider the lead time to get these products in hand which is between 6-9 months in advance.

Expensive Start Up Costs
New product development is extremely expensive. Between engineering time, testing, tooling, samples, etc., we have a ton of money invested into this project. The Pre-Order helps revenue come in the door while we continue to grow the company and bring you an exciting new product.

Expensive Inventory
These units are very expensive to produce. We must outlay 100's of thousands of dollars just to get inventory into our warehouse. The tradeoff of doing a Pre-Order is we get capital to help fund purchase orders while you get to save 15%! Win-Win!
