bowriter,
I never said internet talk forums reach more people than printed advertising. I'm saying fewer and fewer people use printed or TV advertising to make product purchase decisions. They may use that as a starting point, but they turn to the internet to make their final decisions.
Since I keep closest track of the trail-camera market, I know that market best. And I can point you to several trail-cameras highly hyped in print and TV media that had their sales killed by internet reviews.

Winchester What kind of vehicle do you drive? Is it the same as your buddy. The same bow your buddy shoots may not suit you at all. You didn't marry the same woman, did you? Would you trade wives with him?
BW, if you would just relax and quit trying to impress everyone with, who, where, when, why, you have done this or done that, you would be much happier. You are not, as hard as this may be for you to believe, the only person to ever hunt and fish during their lifetime. The bar is not set by 'your' accomplishments for the rest of the world. Give it a rest and you will be much happier, I truly believe that!
I think you have a lot to offer here, just try it without being so condescending!!

Who is name calling? This thread went from getting into a trade show to advertising.
Y'all fight it out. I'm heading for the gym.

My only comment on this issue is this..... Internet sales AND advertising is the wave of NOW and the future. Print media of ALL kinds are on the downslide and on the way out or already gone. That, of course, is my humble opinion but time will tell. As buckwild would say, YMMV. 
You hit the nail on the head right there! The ability to more easily reach a targeted audience, with real-time info and real-time reaction via the web is exploding and is/will be altering the print media forever.

Not Interested. I will tell you this. The manufacturers are losing touch with their customers and the trend is going away from shows. In the business I am in most of the largest companies are not showing at the shows and are basically hurting thier dealers by doing this. Box stores are taking over and the mom and pop will soon wish they had shows to go to and they will no longer complain about consumers at their show but wish they could even find aay to get them in the door.
If you want to ask some of them questions ask them how many customers they are losing coming in the front door and what the industry is doing for them. That is a much more important question. You can start with a few of the dealers we have on this website that have gone under.
Here is a pic of a trade show I went to last January. made the sign for the guys back home to get a kick out of, doubt they read it.
