Back in 2004 I generated about 1/5 the sales I do now.
Back then I received 2 bikes, 4 ipods, gift cards like crazy, clothing with company logos like mad, coffee cups, note pads, a drawing pad, many company logo things like wireless mouse/keyboard, laptop, monitor, flipflops, sunglasses, many hats, many beer/whiskey glasses with company logos, tickets to Vegas with hotel room, hammock, beach chairs, so many things. Most I gave away as gifts to others.
This year: a few gift cards in so-so amounts, but nothing like before ($500 becomes $150), bluetooth ear buds (kind of nice surprise), wifi sockets (Alexa turn on the office lights) and a few cards.
Difference in 2004 to now? I'd say about $5000 to $500?
And the fact that I now send them 5 times the sales.
But it is what it is I guess. Crazy too is that I would imagine there are about 5% of us left who send what I did in 2004. So you'd think the ones that are left would get extra love? Or maybe they were sending me things and not the other 95%...
