Gentlemen
Every time the subject of the A/S product range is raised, there is acrimony and argument, among people, who otherwise, have a general affinity.........How sad!
The blame for this divisive state of affairs, lies with the individual who attempted to market his range in an artificial, controlled environment...........Misguided?
I am impressed by Gavin's use of the products to grow his business and others would do well to consider his drive and enthusiasm, which, in his case, has come from, a belief in these products and encouraged him to become an aggressive marketer.
Without being a network member of any particular organisation, you could all adopt a ' specialist ' product and use it to drive your business forward, it's all to do with ' marketing ' and it's a hell of a lot easier to market a business when it's perceived as giving the client something special, but............. it must be something that makes you stand out from the crowd and..........represent's value for money, in the client's mind.
There are various products on the market which will kill and control allergens and it would be extremely easy for a chemical manufacturers r&d dept to replicate, if they
wanted to.........but with the limited market, there is probably little viability.
I have no intention of purchasing the A/S products, but if I did buy a product to use in c/c, no matter from whom I purchased it...........no one would stop me from mentioning the product in any advertising I decided to carry out.........the exception to this, would be, where it might deliberately mislead , eg, using the Woolsafe logo, without qualification.
