Demo's = Sales & Coupons = Sale$$$$$$$$$$
It's a good thing you are not in sales because demos and coupons are two of the most effective ways to bring product awareness and increase sales tremendously.
Not to mention it is a very proactive way to get your name out there. I'm sorry but coupons and discounts are the sure fire way to get people to try your product without even having a demo. I can't tell you how many times I have tried something simply because it was discounted and because of that I am a repeat customer. It's really quite simple to be honest, and I know you know that. And to think they are doing this during their busiest hours of the day and on a weekend? Shame on Marani for selling their (REAL) product. Shame on them for providing hard working citizens a discount. Shame on them for taking the second step with one of the largest sales channel in the US. Dammit Marani why can't you do anything right.

A "dry demo"? Sounds pretty lame to me as it relates to a spirit product. I also believe those in-store promotion are paid deals or co-op arrangements and any coupon redemption comes out of Marani's pocket directly cutting the margin per bottle by almost 20%. As I said before, the announcements are becoming weaker and weaker with less and less tangible content. National TV commercials were said to be done two weeks ago but still nothing even resembling such has been mentioned. The marketing and advertising just seems so sketchy, disjointed and to tell you the truth, quite cheesey. What's next, a full page ad in huge PennySaver?
