Ah, but HOW would they release that information? As a business owner, I can tell you from experience that word of mouth advertising trumps all other. Needless to say, if a business is based on referrals, then the public as a whole might never hear of the product.
Look at the Amway Corporation. They do BILLIONS of dollars a year, but they base their marketing mostly on word of mouth referrals. And yet many people say they have never heard of them. Out of the ones who are familiar with them, most cannot name one of their products.
We are entering the realm of opinion on this subject, as one can only speak based on what they themselves would do.
Your right Amway does not do an agressive advertising campain,but they do advertise. They have sponsorships that they participate in that gives them advertising, articles in magazines they buy, some tv spots, and was part of a product placement in two movies. So they are not just a word of mouth organization. Avon and scentsy are similar companies as they have people sell their products. Now lets look at these more closely. Go to Amway or Scentsy. They have BBB Accreditation, Avon does not.. does this mean anything. Not really, but they strive to be a good business and are listed with the BBB. Dell is listed with the BBB but not accredited, and is listed as a soliciting company. H3tec... no where to be found with the BBB.
Another thing, Amway is in the health, beauty, and home care markets. We don't hear them makeing extrodanary claims about their products. They don't make a wild claim stating that their products cure cancer or anything because any drug that is released that would be making a claim must be aproved to use that claim from the FDA.
So no Eddie i am not entering the realm of opinion on the subject.
Okay, I was using Amway as a business model, not the company itself. True, they have started television adverts now. But if you want a specific company like I was suggesting...there is Xocai. They do no media adverts at all.
What it boils down to is this (I think you misunderstood me here)...No one can say EXACTLY what another business would or would not do, in this case advertising the report of the LRL test. It is entirely possible that they would, of course, but not definite. Just because you or I would do something does not mean that all others would.
Well you faild to use a good model then..
And a point i thik you did not get in my reply is They don't make a wild claim stating that their products cure cancer or anything
Not Amway, no. But there are companies out there that make claims above what many would consider "legal"...and they may have merit.
Personally, and this is just my opinion, I think that ANY product with adverse effects (more serious than the condition being treated) should be outlawed....and anyone supporting those poisons should be put away. But...it's only my opinion.
