Amanda does have some legit points, but she doesn't really give any specific
examples of "ambassadors" so it is hard to see how much of the pie that the
"ambassadors" are taking besides a $300/ pop comment. I looked up a few of the
biking Ambassador programs and they all seem to just promote biking.
Berrecloth turned the MTB world upside down and has is probably sold more
bikes for the big S than anything, but I am willing to bet that the big S
lawyers get paid more for consultation visits to discuss owning the rights to
three lines in parallel than Darren did in a year. I understand the need to
protect your business but some things got a little out of control. My point is
that the pie is probably being eaten up by bigger mouths than the
"ambassadors".
This "Pro athlete economy " doesn't exist without someone willing to support
it. The bike industry needs to sell products in order to survive and is going
to look at ways to sell more products. I would think that giving away t-shirts
and getting a bike sale would be worth looking into if I ran a company.
