Although the Herobulders.com succeeded in business and gained popularity we observed few important issues that were omitted by Mr.Vicale and they constitute gaps of the research which should be considered before marketing product. 1. Promotion: From the research we do not observe any actions in this direction. No research regarding promotion means was observed initially to promote the product in the market. 2.
