  > I think you should just do it. This is an article about a kitchen appliance and how the guy gave away 200 units and used Amazon Fulfillment to grow his company. Good point. I actually unsubscribed previously because of their "native advertising" policy (and then resubscribed in the last year or so). > Yes they can't make enough of them even though they are doubling production every year. The point I was trying to make in the first post was that doubling sales/production/anything else every year for six years doesn't mean a whole lot without seeing year 1. 1) If they doubled production every year for 5 years maybe they should have had extra capacity for year 6. 2) If year 1 they sold 1 unit then this year they sold on the order of 64 (obviously minimal). If year 1 they sold 100 units then this year they sold on the order of 6400. From a production standpoint that is not a difficult task. I was just disappointed that NYT ran what is essentially a corporate PR puff piece as a "news" article.
