The Audiovox distribution network is known for its depth and includes all of the major national and regional retailers in the nation.
Tagg-The Pet Tracker developed by Snaptracs, a Qualcomm Company, gives the consumer peace of mind by letting them know their pet's location at any time.

Tagg is small and lightweight and designed to easily attach securely to your pet's existing collar.

Malone continued, "The product will be available at retail in the first quarter of 2012 and Audiovox plans to market it though our substantial big box and regional retailer distribution partners, as well as to pet supply retailers. We believe it will be a huge success based on the millions of pet lovers in the country who will be exposed to this great product through these retailers."
