[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6541587, member: 2525"] My guess is the retailers don't view those as a threat, or don't complain about it even if they do. Why are you talking about a business plan like it needs internal consistency on that level? All you need to know is Product A makes 90% of the revenue and Product B makes 10%, so Product A operates under different parameters than Product B. That's not hypocrisy, that's how the world works. And if that bothers you, talk to a company with a sales staff sometime. There will be someone on that sales staff who makes a large percentage of the sales, and the standards applied to that employee will be different than the standards applied to the other sales employees, even though they are doing the identical job. Because money is a meaningful issue in business. It's same in pretty much any industry. Take sports for instance: superstar players get treated differently by referees than non-superstar players. We don't have to like it, but we don't have to acknowledge that is how the world works. [/QUOTE]
