Sales strategy (wonka style)

-20 points posted to Sales Strategies by doc Mar 3

Suppose you want to release a new computer but youre afraid htat people wont be motivated to buy it. Heres an idea. Use the willy wonka method. Place five "golden tickets" in the boxes of 5 computers and distribute them throught the world. These Golden tickets will allow the finder to take a tour of the DELL industry and give them a a few upgrades to their computers. I mean who doesnt want to see how DELL makes its top of the line products. heres the headline "DELL goes Willy Wonka.

Mar 3		 While I would enjoy a tour and all, I wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars for a new system in hopes of winning one.

Mar 3		 The big difference:

Chocolate bar < $1
Dell PC > Hundreds of $$$$

Doesnt convince me.

Mar 3		 I like the idea, but offer it across the board. If you buy a monitor, expect the chance to win an X, but if you buy a new system, expect the chance to win XX, etc. Scale the prizes up for the product. If you buy (product) red, offer the best prizes.

Mar 3		 Most, if not all, Dell computers are made in Asia, if not China. How Dell makes it's products? Ask those OEM manufacturer and you probably will have a better answer.
