Those are *viewed* stats. Getting folks to post something is another *tool* that hasn't been figured out yet.  Alvin and Craig are true to such Southern charm.

The first Southern Stovebolt gathering was about 17 years ago with 15 people. Now we also cover many stayes.

The second year I had grown my business and wanted to repeat the sandwiches but I did not keep any record of how many FREE sandwiches I had passed out. So in an effort to start tracking my sales, I decided to charge twenty-five cents and could track that amount on the cash register. The customers went crazy over the GREAT DEAl and how can you possibly stay in business giving sandwiches away for twenty-five cents?

It makes people thirsty, and since there's a beer tap right there- - - - - -P.T. Barnum would be proud of that kind of marketing ploy! I had a friend who roasted hundreds of pounds of "in the shell" peanuts with a little kick of cayenne pepper. He kept a bunch of local bars supplied with them. They put bowls of them on the counter, and their beer sales went up pretty dramatically.
