Hudson is talking to several large backboard manufacturing companies about building the shootAndstar rebounder directly into the backboards that they manufacture.

Hudson has created his own website- www.shootAndstar.com through which his company will market and sell the shootAndstar rebounder. The product will only be available to purchase over the Internet, and he does not plan on allowing stores to purchase and sell his product. He believes he can efficiently sell and market his product at its lowest cost without bringing in a lot of middlemen. Initially, there will be three versions of the product so that almost anyone with any type of backboard, from fan shaped and narrow rectangular shaped baskets to 72” wide backboards, will be able to purchase the appropriate version for use with their backboard.

The basic unit of this rebounder starts out at a regular retail of $169 plus the appropriate taxes and handling costs. Hudson’s goal is to continue to develop sales volume and ways to reduce costs so that every basketball player that wants a shootAndstar rebounder can afford it.

Hudson’s initial marketing efforts will be in starting a grass roots effort to make as many basketball players aware of his product so they can benefit from it. He has demonstrated product at various basketball camps, tournaments, and other events including camps at Illinois State University, Illinois Wesleyan College, Bradley University, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Millikin University, Augustana College, and Western Illinois College.
