In regards to the large events that many of you competitors enjoy complaining about please allow me to make a few respectful comments. First, these events actually are not done by Master Spas. ................Is that a bad thing?

Deron,
Welcome to the forum, I see your post count is more than a handful, but I wasn't aware of you till now. I am purely a consumer and not aligned with any manufacturer. When I purchased my spa I was totally unaware of much in the industry. It came down to a Master Spa 750 I think it was, and the tub I ended up with. The "Traveling circus" as it has been called has improved, but was a major factor in my going away from Master. The ads around that show were the biggest outright lies I've personally seen in consumer advertising. In recent years they have been toned down.
I also know that these shows where the major reason Columbus' oldest hot tub store dropped the Master line. Clearly they didn't benefit from the increased traffic and this was before the down turn in the economy. As for the shows not being done by Master, I just have to shake my head at that comment. If another company was trashing my image through questionable practices I certainly wouldn't stand by and let it happen.

It's ridiculous to say those shows "actually are not done by Master Spas". That's simply a play on words. You hire the people to run these shows and its coordinated through Master so just because the people under the tent aren't technically Master employees does not mean it's not your show. It's the Master corporate traveling spa show and all the deceptive advertising and sales practices are a reflection on Master because after all, it's your show.
