AHHHHH-- but that there, you have hit right upon the head as the ONE reason the suits don't have a clue whatsoever. At the end of, say, 3 months who is more likely to have more net (not gross $) sales that is going to be repeatable several times a year, or make me the first person someone's going to contact to see what kind of Kellyco merchandise is going to do what I need? --- Someone like me who sits there all day surfing the Net -- seemingly not doing jack all day instead of making cold calls and other useless, resource-sucking crap -- and on the forums being actually and seriously engaged with the detecting world and the people in it (because that's my hobby and that's what I love first and foremost, but still, it IS work), or "anyone_kellyco" who just pops up in the forum to drop the Kellyco name and doesn't contribute anything of value or interest?
On the other hand, this only goes so far because Kellyco is just a middleman reseller of other peoples' stuff at hopefully a better price than the next guy up the road, just like grocery stores or Menards or a car dealership. It's not like we have people from the actual manufacturers, like Whites or Fisher or Tesoro or Garret actively participating in that respect here. But still, Kellyco has been selling 9 bazillion boatloads of other people's stuff every year for decades. My point is, they could be selling 12 bazllion boatloads of stuff by hiring a dozen people who actually KNOW something about detecting surf the web all day and, in the end, sell TONS more stuff without actually selling stuff.
Again, it's not rocket science. I'll put a buck of my own willing to bet -- and I'm not even going to log in to see for sure -- that Kellyco doesn't have a Facebook presence.
