Greetings, everyone. Welcome to Mighty Line Minute! I've got a special guest today who I'm going to introduce in a moment. You'll like this one.

So, I'm with Chris Cukon. He's with our Mighty Line sales team, Product Specialist, one of our newer members of the organization. Chris, what have you learned about this company that you really like?

I love that it's a family-based business. It's a great culture to be in, and it's a great product. Honestly, the product sells itself. It's a premium product and it, it's built to last, and I haven't seen anything quite like it. And nothing really matches it. It's durability and quality. 

Well, that's great. We're here at the Sherwin-Williams Show, and it's a vendor exhibition. We've had non-stop traffic over here and they seem to be coming right up to this booth. What do you tell the folks from Sherwin-Williams?

Honestly, I just try to get them to touch our product as soon as they feel the thickness and how quality our tape is and our label protectors, and even our floor signs. Right away they're kind of sold and they're kind of, they always ask follow-up questions on, "Why am I not selling this more?"

Some of the people here, they don't even know that we are actually a vendor of Sherwin-Williams and they're quite surprised and, everyone seems to love it and can't talk enough goodness about it.

Chris, if you were putting this down in your own warehouse, why would you be doing it and where would you put it?

I would put it down the center lines just to mark designated walk areas, to make it clear and visible for foot traffic. Depending on the environment, maybe even our reflective tape or our glow tape. Definitely I'm a big fan of our traction tape and even our rib tape, which is all new, especially our rib tape. Just 'cause with that traction, you'd know that something's there that you're stepping on. Could really feel our tape even yet alone with our solid colors, without the traction, you know that it's there because of 50 mil thickness, and it's a great product.

Great for walkway areas, even if it's a very heavy forklift area. And our dots and arrows are a great way to line those lines just because they're easy, replaceable, and you just take up the bad dot or arrow and you slap down a new one.

Awesome. 

As easy as that! 

You know, you were walking back in the warehouse here at the Gaylord Palms Resort and you happened to notice Mighty Line tape. How long have they been using that back there? 

I believe from what I was told, roughly five years and it looks great. It doesn't tear, the color still bright and vibrant.

There's no diminished color at all on the floor tape, and I can't see anywhere that they've even torn it up. Which is great, especially even for a loading dock where there's a lot of forklift traffic, especially, and high foot traffic. 

Oh, that's really cool. Well, hey, I want you to have a good show. We got a lot of traffic here, so we gotta get back to it.

If you want to step aside I'll take an image here of the floor to show the booth set up. So let's do that. 

Yes, we have a great setup.

That's awesome, man.

Okay. Chris, you just did the unboxing, what have you got there?

This is our newest prototype of our glow tape. 

So, glow-in-the-dark, photoluminescent? 

Yes. A warehouse ran out of power or something, that this will provide light for all the employees.

Awesome. Well, we'll talk about it a little more. Thanks so much for the intro. 

Of course. 

Hey, I gotta ask you one last question, Chris. (Yes.) What'd you do yesterday in the river? 

Oh, uh..

Where'd you go? 

Yesterday we went to Wekiwa Springs and Kelly Park, which is a freshwater springs. Great for the body with the minerals. Very clear water, pure water from the earth. Very relaxing to just lay in and kind of go down the natural lazy river. 

So, it's known as Cold Springs?

Yeah, it's Cold Springs. I know the name might be, uh, dismissing but, the water actually isn't super, super cold. It's roughly 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It's very refreshing to go in on a nice, nice warm day, especially down here in Florida, even in the winter. 

Well, that's good to know. So we got a great promo there from Chris (Yes) on Cold Springs, Florida. Thanks, Chris for your time today. Any parting words? 

Keep selling Mighty Line, and there's no other better product out there than Mighty Line. 

That's awesome. 

Yes. 

How about a "Stay Safe?" 

Yeah, stay safe out there and use 5S Safety, and use Mighty Line as your 5S Safety. It's the only durable stripe out there!

Hey, thanks Chris. You have a good show. 

Of course. Thank you. 

Take care.
