I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you there, Chris - aside from product reviews, people talking it up on forums like this one, and other chatter/buzz...the best way for an emerging company to get their foot in the door is by giving the stuff away. Because of this specific market's nuances, if they are able to snag their attention correctly, the price to visit Canada will be very small in comparison to what they'll make in return. Of course, if Baker didn't take the opportunity to slip in an AndyMark sticker with whatever he donates to the KOP, I'll be very disappointed...  (BOUCHER)

But providing a sample product does -- the same way that IFI provides sprockets in the kit sufficient for 2WD and likely makes a killing when we all go clamboring for more so we can have 4, 6 or more driven wheels. (KRASS)

Alas, only on Chief Delphi can such a sarcastic, intended to be humorous comment, be taken so seriously as to question my understanding of the basics of marketing and business development .....
