muskoka lakes: Marketing Your Home For Sale - 06/23/11 11:26 AM

I went to a Home Exhibition. There were two exhibitors 'selling' the same product. One of them placed a fake glass of beer on their display. This exhibitor attracted at least 10 times more potential consumers to their display than their competitor.
