In that case the major problem seems to be in different cases: First of all, I'm getting around 30 or more "newsletters" every day, so I can't read everyone of them (most of them are also absolutely uninteresting and only contain product advertising) but concentrate on the more interestig companies, second is, that when you live in the middle of nowhere you don't buy your stuff at a single local dealer but order the most things online so some of the dealers are of course also quite far away, so even when they send a newsletter you might be too far away, what indeed happended in my case... I got the newsletter from Marcotec on modnay, telling me the Demonstration Vehicle will be there on wednesday... so first of all what happened: I got a newsletter from a dealer 2 days before the date (much too short!!) and this dealer is over 6 hours away, so completetly ininteresting to have a "short trip" to there... and finally I have no idea if it will be or even have already been in more interesting cities, like for example Munich which I could reach within 1,5 hours...
I only know from other companies, that they advertise their roadshow a lot better and you see on their website where they are and when and espoecially you get the information early enough so that you can organize to go there, but 2 days before and much too far away are impossible to handle...
