Default Racing marketing

Today I received a package from Summit containing some fuel line plumbing supplies. It contained the correct parts I ordered plus another package.

The other package contained two Schick ”Hydrating Gel” razors. [no charge for the razors]

After a brief pause to fully grasp what this means I began to smile. To me, it means the High Performance & Racing marketing thinkers are alive and well. It also means that Racing has a bright future because promoters are motivated to “think outside the box” for partners.

I think this is a good sign for the future of racing. The racing aftermarket has a huge investment in inventory, warehouses, and employees. They are very driven to sustain that investment into the future.

Yup. Gilette earned my business with a similar freebie Mach3 deal many years ago. I don't buy new blades as often as I'm sure they'd like, but they still make money off of me that they never would've otherwise.

Charles, send me the razors and let me know what you need in equal value returned. Remember, the razors are free

I had to laugh about Micheal Beard being sold on razors. I use mine too and I I also thought it was a neat piece of marketing. I've gotten a few freebie teeshirts from them over the years, wrapped in plastic, that I keep for emergency clean laundry in my trailer. Ironic, since I'm a long time professional teeshirt printer!

Chris---I can trade the razor for a T-Shirt.. Sorry Dragslinger he has a better offer.

Ed--I cleaned a bird nest out last week but I have a rule, cant let the beard go past my nipples. As I have got older, it is just like my hair--falling out. I think I have 4 hairs left. Since I am bald, I think I am going to comb the beard up on my head so I look likes I gots sum hair
