Same dog and pony show
Same dog and pony showNick's at some tech show demo'ing the sculpted eers... Wow, that's worked so good in the past, lets keep doing it. Just like the success with HearAtLast. Selling product at the airport... another brilliant move. Personally, the closest I ever get to the airport without taking a flight is dropping someone off at departures. Can't really see anyone navigating the parking kaos just to shop at the airport when they can park free where normal electronic products are sold.
Why do I bring this up? It just doesn't matter how well Nicks demonstration goes, if the product isn't at arms length to the consumer, then it may as well be sold on the moon. Wait, what about that Richard Branson dude? Oops, nevermind, been there, done that too.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, COSTCO!! If there ever was a store that caters to new products, Costco is it. It's not even necessary that the product is carried full time. There are "roadshows" that demo product like Little Giant Ladders, Mens Apparel etc. that are not part of the normal inventory. If shipping were an issue, they could ship in the same containers that make the the wine kits coming from Quebec.
When is that moron of a CEO gonna get it through his thick skull that the path he has beaten down for the past 4 or 5 years is the wrong frickin road.
