What makes our methodology and technology so special it deserves a US patent? It’s a new and completely unique business method that combines the most advanced computer and Internet technologies to allow new products to rapidly enter the national market through what has been called "viral marketing", i.e. direct public support. Our methodology and technology offers the entrepreneur a full-service "turn-key" system of combine wholesale and retail sales, distribution, marketing, PR and customer relations along with accounting, e-commerce, fulfillment and shipment tracking components... all controlled by one system.

We're a "one stop shop" for new products going to market.

The most interesting aspect of our system is we don’t have a sales force... unless you count the millions of people can alert us of retailers that may be a fit for the products in our distribution system.

Our system provides true logic based business and product exposure. It provides ordinary consumers the reward of samples of products they help put into retail and wholesale outlets by simply informing us of the retailers contact information. We at Wizard Industries began the program in 1999 with our own products and soon discovered the technique was extremely effective. Using our patented methodology with our first product, the "Little Wizard" Woodworking Metal Detector,  we became a major national brand in a matter of months.

Since then our system has provide services to thousands of retailers around the world and deals with tens-of-thousands of consumers daily. All through our unique and powerful - and now patented - product exposure, sales, customer service and distribution system.

Our methodology and technology is supported by our magazine (see: ProductNewsJournal.com) and our Product News Channel.com systems , making our now-patented system an emerging new media player bringing together communications technologies that have never been utilized before in the new product  marketing arena. Our system also helps facilitate interactions with Amazon.com and many catalog retailers since all of the product orders in our distribution pass through our  system.

It’s an extremely exciting business reality.

Honestly we can hardly contain ourselves at having received a patent for this marvelous business method and the advanced technology that drives it.

Nevertheless, our ability to provide effective, logical, fair, honest and equitable ways to bring new products to the national market with SampleRewards.Com is Wizard Industries paramount achievement. Our trademarked slogan has always been "Business Building Based On Logic".  Our system does that... and does that uniquely and well.
