Brite-Strike Technologies, Inc. (OTC: BSTI) has began to receive the publicity they were anticipating over the past couple months. In August, Brite-Strike formed an agreement with Natick-based BJ’s Wholesale Club, which is significant as sales were previously spurred by word of mouth and trade-show appearances. Brite-Strike recently raised $450,000 for an ad campaign that continues into the fall with 30-second spots on CNBC, CNN, Tru-TV and various other cable networks.
The company’s co-founder, police officer Glenn Bushee, is pleased to report that sales are increasing on different avenues, “Our Web site sales have probably tripled” he stated. The increase in sales can be attributed to the ad blitz via cable TV and a national newspaper began in August.
A bright spot for the company is the new found success with their new Tactical Balls products. The product consists of three illuminated spheres that can be tossed to distract targets of police or military personnel. Customers such as the Coast Guard and SWAT teams see it as an alternative to the “flash-bang” grenades that produce multiple problems in explosive situations such as meth labs or oil tankers.
Brite-Strike is currently seeking out additional uses for the Tactical Balls, “We’re actually looking into making a gas-powered launcher that can launch these things to a second or third story,” commented Officer Bushee.
