The we want a paper catalog movement
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:58 pm
I don't know how many of you feel about this but I know at least Dusty and I miss have a paper catalogs to look at.
My old ones are falling apart, taped up covers and such, while still readable they are due for a major overhaul. Did I mention that do I enjoy looking at them over and over? But really, the time has come to have some new printed materials from Shopsmith, and by that I mean a new catalog.
Perhaps we need to start a movement, when you call in an order ask for a catalog, when they say they don't have one you then put in a plug for one. After they hear this a few thousand times maybe they will get the point and then well dare we hope for a new catalog??
If you still order by mail then add a catalog to your list.
Online orders, not sure how to do that? Anyone?
At the demos ask about a catalog, give them the sign that this is a movement and we want a new paper catalog!!!!
So anyone else interested in starting a movement? Yes today it may only be me, but tomorrow it could be just 5 of us, then 10, my mid Feb it could be a 100, by June a 1000.
We could even do a "write a letter" campaign!
I would even promise to order something from the catalog for say, at least $30 (which should cover the cost of my catalog) within a month after arrival.
Maybe some of you locals could paint up some signs and walk a protest line by the shopsmith building?
Take an ad out in the local paper?
Who is with me?
