Ill just post this here... feel free to comment!

A detailer my friend uses got this message from a Model 3 owner (he’s probably on this forum too)... it’s one thing to “freeload”, it’s another To be so entitled and calling it a win/win LMAO!!

Stay humble people! Think outside the box HAHAHA

If the tint shop can do the huge top glass in ones piece w/out wrinkles it might be worth the publicity.

I know several that have the skills to do this.

When I was dropping my 3 off at the detailer on Saturday, there was another 3 also being dropped off.

None of the detailers I contacted even suggested that the 3 would get any special pricing for the publicity.

 

[AEdennis]

If one wants "better" pricing, get a bunch of people together to commit to one place and negotiate a group buy...

Otherwise, be prepared to get what you pay for...

Yea my friend’s wife asked for hotel room upgrade once saying how she’s in media, with her own Facebook group (with a mere 5xx followers), that she could post a room tour on her group. They granted her wish with an executive suite. Just have thick skin and the worst you will get is a “no”, right?

If don't try you will never know right, I do like the reply of the shop

Maybe they Model 3 owner should have gotten more creative, offer to pay for the service but then ask for a referral code which could earn them a % off the referral purchases from their advertising. Who knows, maybe they could pay for the entire Model 3 our of that if that advertising is really that effective. Refer a 1000 people for $1,000+ job and get your Model 3 paid off! No freebees for unspecified deliverables.

You're doing it for the EXPOSURE - The Oatmeal

 

[jelloslug]

That guy with the Model 3 is about 5 months late if he wants to pull the "exposure" gimmick.

^ This is the way to do it. I would not expect a $1,000 referral fee on a car detailing job, but maybe one or two percent of the ticket on new customers who give the referral code.

As far as asking for freebies, there's nothing wrong with asking, but there's also nothing wrong with telling a beggar to ***k off. Complaining because you got a rude reply when you asked for something for free is childish and stupid. And FWIW, when media companies solicit advertising business (which is essentially what the blogger was doing) they show solid data concerning their reach and effectiveness. If you want a hotel in Dublin to pay you for advertising (whether in cash or in a free room) you need to show that by advertising with you they'd increase their business. A hotel that's always full does not need to advertise. And a blog or newspaper that's not read by people who travel to Dublin would be a useless place to advertise.
