So we had the tripod adapter, and then the second SKU was the tripod adapter with flexible legs.
So back then, when Walmart picked up on that, we really shot up from...
doing $60,000 to $70,000 a year.

So what happened is we went to CES and
And at CES, the buyers for Walmart were walking by and came to our booth and they said, hey, this looks like a really unique product.
And are you distributing it with anyone?
And I got them in touch with our main distributor at the time, which was a company called Dr. Bot that specializes in Apple accessories.
So they did all the negotiating between themselves.
And it wasn't like a direct deal between me and Walmart.
It was our distributor and Walmart negotiated everything.
And then they just called up out of the blue and said, hey, we've been reviewing it and we're ready to place an order.
We want 8,000 units right away.
And that's how it happened.

So we knew with enough anticipation that on this day, we're going to need your products.
