Description:
This is a premium car care products company called Shining Monkey. It was created with the intention of providing the absolute best Car Care products available. If we can't create the best product in a specific category, we just won't offer it to you. Being "as good as" or "just like" is not an option for us. No hype, no false claims, no promises of restoring that 30 year old paint job to "Showroom Condition." As we enter 2009 we have begun developing an entire new line of more green, eco-friendly line of products. We hope to have this line of evo-friendly products ready in time.
Each and every one of our products we have developed and every product we develop in the future will have our cute little monkey on the product. To us that's our Seal of Quality and means we take pride in the way our products work.
Since the company was founded we have had tremendous growth with the end users, car collectors, show car participants and the media. Bottom line, Shining Monkey makes great products, has great branding and cult following but poor distribution.
We are looking for funding to expand our product line as well as starting a heavy hitting marketing campaign for the new line and new year.
The brand has small distributors across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Europe. We have been negotiating with many retail chain stores and approved vendors for a few, however lack of funding has caused us to not find common ground.
