Did you not read it? I said opening it up put no increase in sales at all.

The signing up process probably diverts a lot of those who are playing at the business.

We always supplied samples of what we sell, so people can see what we do. But the bottom line is we did not get the big increase in business that all these guys are promising, "I would buy from you if I did not have to sign up" is absolute BULL SHIT, they will sign up and buy based on price.

There you are 20 sets for $25, but you have to sign up.

Also we are in business to make money. If you saw the surge in business we get after a mail out you would understand why we want the emails addresses.

What I'm being asked to do is harm my business to make it easier for those who contribute little to it. Does that make sense to you?
