I'm trying to imagine some entrepreneur who opens a new grocery store and asks his family members to go in and out the store all day long pretending they are customers :)
- vlad 20y agoI heard a story about an author getting all her family and friends to buy all copies of a new book she wrote from an initial test run of all local stores. By selling out so fast, the publisher ordered a lot of books nationwide and the book became popular partially due to the fact that it was available in every book store the second time around. What do you think?
