Introduced in August by a leading retailer with nationwide stores and dominant catalog customer base, sales are exceeding original expectations. Response and demand from the security-conscience consumer during the first six weeks is evident by the tripling of unit orders from the retailer since their opening order. "Consumers are becoming more aware of GPS technology and how it can protect their most precious assets. We know there is a huge market for the new product, and this early success proves that our business plan to the retail/consumer market is a viable reoccurring revenue stream with high growth potential," says Peter Stamos, President of MicroTRAKgps. The Product which retails for under $500 is a small portable unit approximately the size of a cell phone used to track people or personal and mobile assets as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), boats and jet skies. Jerry Grisaffi, CEO of The Tracking Corporation, says, "The versatility and mobility of the new product makes it a resourceful tool for tracking anything of value.
