The dilemna of keeping many different sizes

We often have strategy discussions weighing the relative merits of carrying odd sizes such as 10" x 30". Usually we focus on all the major sizes and leave off the more unique sizes as custom work. This becomes an issue when trying to close new accounts who are annoyed that we don't carry "their size". Ultimately, we focus on keeping a just-in-time manufacturing process to eliminate cost of carrying and reduce product cost and thus selling price to the customer. It is this lean business model that has made us a succesful manufacturing corporation for many many years.

We can and will take care of all of our clients and deliver whatever size they need. Custom size pillow forms are welcome with the right quantity, as their is an economy of scale for custom work.
