Hi Dark, Perhaps, but I think we are running into a communication error since I didn't make my thoughts fully clear in my last post.
To begin with a lot of these resellers now offer their catalogs electronically. Either as a download on their website, sometimes e-mailed directly to the customer, or shipped to them on CD. As a result if Auddyssey or Audiogames.net wanted to put an informational advertisement in one of their catalogs they could probably do so without incurring any cost to either the reseller or to themselves since the catalog is already electronic for the most part. Therefore all this talk of embossing pamphlets and so forth could be rendered mute as there might be a less expensive way to get the word out to customers without involving huge startup costs or involving organizations. So that should answer two of your questions. A reseller can or should be able to send out a free pamplet because it is electronic and would be of no cost to them. Merely a few bites of info inside their monthly catalog. Thus there also would be no need to sell it since there is no cost involved for anyone to get the word out. Cheers!
