From David Brody: The above slide show consists of photos of our wood factory in Meizhou (pronounced May-Joe) China, which is located about 7 hours by car Northeast of Shenzhen city.

The pictures show the basic steps in the manufacturing of our 1:2 scale gas pump display. The pump manufacturing is a very labor intensive process requiring assembly/fabrication of the basic wood parts, 5 coats of paint and hand sanding between each coat. The final step adds a clear coat of polyurethane to protect the paint.

The electronics/LED lighting parts are manufactured in our Donguan facility, and shipped to Meizhou. Other parts such as the glass door/shelves and lock/key are sourced in southern China and sent to Meizhou as well. The final assembly and packaging is supervised by our Donguan facility QC team.

Please contact us if you would like to find out how you can use our gas pump displays for resale and/or marketing purposes.

New Domain Name

I am constantly trying to improve the SEO for Crown Premium's Website. . . I understand that my knowledge is limited compared to many others in regards to increasing SERP. . . however... I do know enough to believe the these things:
1. I am not paying someone 2,000/ month to improve the website.... I believe most of it is done. BUT... it would be nice to find (and pay) a nice, honest, SEO guru to consult with to offer suggestions, tweak, and improve... where are you?
2. It is hard to increase SERP when you are competing with thousands of other diecast model company websites....
diecast model forums
diecast model retail websites
diecast blogs

If Crown Premiums only had to compete with B2B Promotional Diecast companies for that number 1 ranking. . . it would honestly be a breeze!

Ok. . . enough of a SEO rant . . . please visit http://www.CrownPremiums.com

OH! and YES! I remember the purpose of this blog!
Crown Premiums now has added a new website domain name! http://www.CrownDiecast.com

I am hoping that having Diecast in the domain name with help increase my SERP. . . in addition, my copy is focused solely on being keyword rich! Cross your fingers that it works! Better yet. . . email brian@crownpremiums.com if you are interested in purchasing diecast replicas for your company's promotions!

Die cast Model Collectibles Update from Crown Premiums

Morning... My goal today is to update our website a bit and get some more detailed pics up of the Snap on 1:12 Glom-mad Street Rod... Instead of using our stock pics, I am going to have some fun with our "home camera" and my husbands 1:12 Glo-mad and see what kind of pics I can take. . .so stay tuned!

FYI... Snap on Franchisees are loving the 1:12 Glo-mad and so are their customers who are lucky enough to see one. Seriously, this compares to 1:12 diecast models that retail OVER $2,000!! Can you believe it (search for CDC models to get an idea). this diecast model, however, can be yours for a lot cheaper... and has details that NO other diecast model has. I mean, come on... how many replicas have led lights throughout the Chassis, Suicide doors, and a trunk that opens to show a Modis/tv? Yeah.... exactly...

So this is where I would like you to go for pics: http://www.CrownPremiums.com/Glomad . . . thats where my new pics will be, hopefully today!

Enjoy your weekend.
