[TenTec] My first TenTec - Marketing

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Hmmm, interesting point, that with Ambassador program.
I wonder how much money I should get for signing up the exclusive
distributor for Germany.
I guess as a result of that, a hundred Ten-Tec transceivers were sold!

Never mind.
I get all the reward I need, every time I turn my EAGLE on.

A bit of a problem for the company?  Not really sure, since buying through a
retailer has its own set of problems, although most dealers strive for good
service and customer relations.
I think perhaps factory direct, what with new on-line buying trends might
actually put TT and now Ecraft ahead of the trends.  Also, as mentioned
often on the reflector, it gives the customer more of  a personal
relationship with the brand.

It's very much of a plus that TT recognizes and helps as much as possible
with the older rigs.  I'll bet many new customers are drawn to the new
models after acquiring an older model and seeing how well it works and how
TT and TT devotees support all their models.

I need to join the ambassador pgm, since I can count 4 or 5 hams whom I've
influenced to buy TT gear.  As for a marketing presence at hamfests, I've
been to TT factory & hamfest many time, and think their small staff is put
to better use delivering the great service.  I'm certain most of us have
used lots of time on the phone with  them.

I DO HAVE AN IDEA to improve their presence at hamfests, and the idea is
somehow to involve the Ambassadors work a display of  some sort, perhaps
with literature and/or videos, plus perhaps a demo using their own late
model gear.  They would get some credit for this presence.  Hope TT is
reading, and will  consider this.
