When my trailer got destroyed by a hurricane it spread my pamphets far and
wide across Florida. That was over 200,000 pamphlets (my entire $80,000
investment) and at 15 bucks a pop that cost me Three Million dollars in
revenue.

But, as it turns out I started getting flooded for consultations and my
special body hair retarder.

That's cause people read my pamphlets and were impressed. Ernie

Wow! What a concept!
Way back, people used to spread around their pamphlets
by using airplanes to dump & spread them.
Why go to that expense?
Just leave them out for a hurricane or tornado to spread.
Sure cheaper than hiring people to hand them out on street.

You're assuming that each pamphlet would've resulted in a sale. I very
much doubt if you would've had anywhere close to that kind of return.

ernie snake oil pamphlets was WHAT she was trying to sell.

Giving them away was still over-charging for what they were worth!
