Question
I have a question about reliable distrubutors we are new and we have found that alot of disrtibutors dont pay on time and are very shad.Do you have any disrtibutors that u recomend.We are a east coast company that  deals with mostly black amatuer and interacial films.We are in need of a good disrtibutor that reaches nation wide.I also have another question we are a small company do u think its worth it to get a booth at the up coming convention in florida, with the expense of models, hotels, and flights we are concerned that it might not be worth it yet.What do u think?

Answer
The business on adult is by its nature inherently shady....you will just as all the other had to do before you either get lucky or get stung and move on to another company. I know some producers that have had missteps in the past and have grown to understand the business a bit better. Every business you will find that you will have to pay your dues to reach your dream or whatever your goal is. So as far as a booth goes you will have to get one just to get your name out there....after several years of buying booths people should start recognizing you and your product.

I also don’t wish to go over something I may have gone over before but DVD’s in general have gone down over the years…..I think the easiest reason why the decline in DVD sales continues to slip is the relevance of the computer (Internet) and the general access to a much broader consumer base through the net.
