Hi again Mike, its a question of 'how do I go about increasing my business'? Yes, advertising is very very expensive, I once sold advertising space for IPC Business Press and had a constant battle convincing business, big or small, to give me some of their advertising budget for the year! An ad in a monthly publication lasts for a month and then that ad gets binned so thats out of the question.

I suggested on a different post that you go interactive with your customers by allowing feed back and comment, I think you did respond to this. Yes, China is big but places like Hongkong, Singapore, Phillipines, Japan etc have a large number who speak English very well. Then we have India with 1Bn population with a high proportion of English speakers so China is not your only market place.

Secondly, the HiFi mags do have a section for readers to write in and I have noticed that a few people are informing other readers of their activities in modifying turntables such as Thorens, Garrards etc., its high time for a Techy to get noticed. What I feel is the need for someone who is extremely articulate and has upgraded their 12XX with your products to write a readers letter outlining what has been down, bearing etc. don't forget pictures.
This could be a spark that flames wider interest amongst readers who are totally unaware of you or your products?

Let me leave you with this:

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

The cod fish lays 10,000 eggs;
the humble hen lays one!
But the cod fish does not cackle,
to tell you what she's done...
and so we scorn the codfish,
while the humble hen we prize.
Which indicates to you and me,
that it pays to advertise!
