I appreciate your effort to prove that Ultraflix is everywhere. I have already added 5 sites to your map.
Your map however is not truly a reflection of the reality of Ultraflix penetration It is only a reflection of how many of us are willing to go find proof and then report sightings to you.
I understand that a growing map is truly only a reflection of enthusiasm.
I would like to start a discussion about the true nature of what you really want your map to say to others. The way I will start that discussion is the:
If we were to discover the true number of Best Buy, Costco, Walmart and other chain stores in America that sell tvs, based on the theory of audit results, when do we reach the point where we are justified in placing all of the Best Buy locations on the map, even though they have not all been visited, and then lets do the same for Walmart, Costco and the other chains I am not thinking of at this moment.
Do we have any experts in math or probability? At what percentage of success/failure to see UF in a particular store are we free to add all of that chain to your map.
We should also discuss what is a valid sighting. Best Buy is cutting edge as far as chains are concerned. Not cutting edge enough to be properly training their salesmen, but better than Costco. I am a Costco member. Their electronics deals are really not better than Best Buy. They just have a better return policy. Best Buy has better pricing and sells the newest products. In my opinion, Costco lags behind a bit. When I go into Costco stores I have to work harder to find UF mentions. I believe this is primarily because they are less salesy and they less frequently update their presentations or sales material. Best Buy has more of those plastic banners running along the bottom of the tvs that are on display.
Costco puts out their inventory in boxes that were printed 6 months ago. The boxes do not mention UF. UF was hardly a factor 6 months ago. Today we are a factor.
2 months ago I went into Eden Prairie Costco and I was able to find one tiny mention of UF. Today I went back and I see that they now have one plastic banner underneath a Visio TV.
What say you?
