LPA Design, the manufacturers of PocketWizard radio triggers, have made a number of staff redundant following “below forecast” worldwide sales.

In an e-mail to distributors, CEO Tim Neiley announced that the Vermont-based company was bringing its international sales and marketing in-house, terminating an 18-year relationship with consultancy firm Inovanti. However Mr Neiley stressed there would be “very little impact” on dealer relationships.

He has blamed the poor sales on slow economic recoveries across the world, changing customer behaviour and increased competition. “LPA has reduced staff at the company as well,” added Mr Neiley, “and will be focusing its resources primarily on engineering development.”

Maybe he should have blamed the poor sales on the price being way too high! Better competition was necessary, too. And forecasting future sales is a fools game.

I know Pocket Wizards are very nice but their price just keeps them out of my reach when I can get four reliable transceivers for $60.00.
