If it's inferior and you price it only a few bucks cheaper, I would obviously still consider ON. Creatine is all Creapure anyway, but package deal it with protein and I will consider your product.
Multi V's and Fish oil......I will be looking at the amount of vitamins/EPA & DHA your products offer vs the competitors. Again, package deal it and I will consider. It's a cutthroat industry

Google Atlarge nutrition if you don't know of them. They are a smaller company but can compete because they offer competitive advantages. Their main protein is a mix of whey, casein and egg proteins. They offer their own weight gainers, protein bars, fat burners, creatine in powder or pill form, and own specialty products. And package deal them in "stacks". They back up all their products with information and renowned powerlifters endorse their products. Their business model is almost perfect, but the only thing stopping me from buying from them is the shipping cost/currency exchange to Canada.
I am pretty sure I can do protein for less then what he is saying.
The package deal thing sounds like a good idea.
I used to buy from Atlarge Nutrition so I know what you are talking about.

Actually looking it seems like they have really raised their prices.
