I guess to the Big 4 it is all just a numbers game ...<br />Hope you are enjoying the holidays, and Uni week off - at least the weather is playing a little fairer for us this time around. I am busy catching up, as always, on the garden, sewing and my blog reading ...

It is clever marketing. I am pretty sure I am making Rooibos because of the name..... I just looked at the envelope and it has a number as well, 1006, but I hadn't noticed that number being used in any reviews.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809800447778175614.post-24783434097107545092013-03-26T19:31:03.999+10:002013-03-26T19:31:03.999+10:00Yes I do believe the marketing strategy theory (as...Yes I do believe the marketing strategy theory (as that is also what I am studying at uni).

All the big pattern companies release so many patterns that it would probably be a bit unwieldy to name them all. It's funny how the names of patterns (Colette's Clovers etc) have become so familiar that when someone talks about it you instantly know what they're talking about. I don't think I can even remember the pattern numbers of patterns that I use regularly. Maybe giving them names is a good marketing strategy because it's much easier to remember.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.com
