I used to almost buy Joe deals exclusively. My last fee orders I've either gone direct to Tim at sis or worked out one of the monster's deals with a discount.
Oh, well. I wonder what CI's makeup of current customers and marketing channels is. At first I figured this switch around was a huge mistake. On the other hand, I doubt the dozen or so regular banterers is where CI makes most of their sales. But catalog deals aren't great and retail price is pretty steep. Do you guys suppose most people order through those channels?//////good question shank. I suspect most sales are via online catalog (that is, a fair number finding deals in the catalog or on the website and ordering online. Probably a small number of ole timers that do all paper transactions). I wouldn't underestimate, however, how many of us there are who are savvy to the ins and outs (eg - free shipping codes, etc) of online retailers.
