Wakeman and endorsements

2002-12-06 by tronbros@aol.com

In response to Frank's mail.........

Obtaining endorsements for products is a perfectly legitimate marketing ploy 
and is utilised by a million products everyday in everyway.  However, in the 
tiny world of mellotrons it really won't make any significant difference.  
Without being boastful we have done radio, tv, magazine articles, worked for 
the most famous and have library sounds from the well known and respected.  
We can and have name dropped.  The end result is there is no up turn or down 
turn, just a constant which in itself is very reassuring.  There will always 
be those who want our services but there are no floodgates to be opened.  
We're a niche market where sales drives are not really compatible.  (the half 
price tape offer hasn't really got many singing and dancing)  We already take 
too long to do everything as the whole nature of mellotron restoration is a 
fresh voyage of discovery with each and every one.  Bless 'em or maybe curse 
'em, I'm never too sure but it's better than going to work.
