And to say that clubs might do better but the oppurtunity becomes limited is hogwash. Limited does not mean not viable. Am I the only one seeing thru this ??????
It wasn't a full trial though, it was just satisfying a curiosity to give some substance to what was an opinion. The vendor and I had previous dialogue - had the sales been stronger I would have went to a full trial done right but there are too many factors against the product, one of which is the wholesale price and retail price margin (£1 RRP), the vendor and I are in agreement on this. Trouble is this needs to be £1.50 - £2.00 and the product doesn't look to have that value (percieved value) and is into Red Bull territory at that money, a full trial I think would only go to further evidence what we observed. Why not give it a go yourself and do a full structured trial and let us know how you got on?
There's a load of mights, maybes and other what if statements in here granted but the site chosen was for a reason, that it would be indicative. Making allowances for all points made (which nobody disputes) the likelihood of sales increasing so much that it becomes worthwhile seems unlikely.
