Mine experience might not suit other's, but I kind of find an echo with skimming through product flyers and catalogs, aka junk mails in this case. This might partly be due to I am in academy, where quick development of new equipments often could help cut cost and speedup studies. This is why I still signup junk emails from those companies, ask for paper copies of catalog, and take some time read those product promotion pages of academic journals.
- jlg23 9y agoTalk to people. If you go to just one or two trade shows a year and talk to people during "unsociable hours" you've just saved yourself a year of reading ads. Especially the niche-companies are low on staff and usually volunteer their knowledgable geeks for the graveyard shifts at trade shows and if you have a good standing with them stuff is virtually free.
