Demo Unit

If you are selling hardware, demo unit and/or a good sales person is very important. If your product can speak by itself, then you can even do without the sales person and people will still wanna get your product. 

And i think trade shows are necessary! People go to trade show during the weekend to spend sometime, especially if there are multiple events going on. Ride on the crowd!  

Went to a fair over the weekend with nothing specific to buy, rather just for a walk with my family. The events going on are Electronic fair, Malaysia Travel Fair, MPH Book Fair and John Little Fair. So while hall hopping, we ended up buying lotsa things. But keeping in mind that we are going to Thailand soon, we made mental notes not to buy any bags or clothes. So, while walking, we came across the camera department, specifically dry box (for camera) and my dad say, "hey, you need one, why don't you get it". 

So, we are standing there for a good 10mins and no sales personnel came to attend to us. Finally, someone came. We ask to look at the exact model of the dry box (20L), wanna know how big it is before we can judge what size should we be getting. 

He mentioned that they do not have any demo unit and can't open up new unit. Then he suggested for us to go to another booth to look at their demo unit and judge the size from there. 

We said our thanks and head to another booth specifically to look at the size. The sales personnel there came over immediately upon seeing us and ask how can she help us. So we told her we are looking at dry box and the different sizes. And she immediately tell us why we should buy her product although it's slightly more expensive. We eventually took the 36L one at $118 (the first booth is selling their 40L at $108).

I'm happy with my purchase. :) Next up, send my camera and lenses for servicing.
