In a way its an example of a Bachmann internet PR disaster as these two stockists are now getting more attention as a result of the publicity given then they would ever have got without Bachmann's help!
And the info has been placed on the Bachmann homepage which gets say 100,000 hits a month!
I have noted that since the message went up a lot of the Bachmann models that this pair have for sale are now sold out!
These two stockists are laughing all the way to the bank. You would probably pay £££'s for that sort of home page promotion.
Can Model Rail Forum have a slot just below the message please!
Genuine Bachmann stockists must be absolutely livid!
Bachmann and others have a long way to go before they understand how to master internet PR.
There are things that you do and there are things that you don't do!
And this is definitely not one for the Bachmann home page!
There is an old PR adage "any publicity is good publicity!"
Even if its is on Bachmann's favourite website!
Happy modelling
