I have a large Rodgers at home, because that’s what was available and
recommended to me by someone I trusted.
There’s no dealer or factory near me.
But many years ago I had a chance to visit Allen Organs in Pennsylvania, and it
was quite an adventure.
I contacted them and made an appointment, as we had an opportunity to travel
that spring.
At that point it was the only such place I had ever been, and they were very
gracious and welcoming.
I was very impressed, and in their big showroom there was one mounted up on a
pedestal, right in the center.
They had several around the outside, different styles and sizes, church organs
mostly, and told me I could try them.
Must have been well over 30 years ago.
But that one I saw on the pedestal, or one like it, is now sitting in my
church, due to my efforts when the opportunity came along.
I sold Mary Kay for several years, “party plan” style.
Like many women I had years of experience in buying, but not much in selling
anything.
Mary Kay said you don’t have to sell anything.
Get the product in their hands, on their faces.
All you have to do is ask them which size package they want.
And it works! Perfectly!
You may remember the pink Cadillacs. That’s how people got them.
They did not “sell” anything, they just said “try this”.
Certainly would work for organs also.

Wow, why?
Sorry, that doesn’t answer the question.
A simple YES or NO, not WOW or WHY.
As reported they may be considering permitting visits, but you have to take
your dealer along.
So only interested (and assumedly) qualified buyers can visit the factory.
What’s the value of an informal visit just to see the factory and organs? The
question is how many people have actually visited in the past who were not in
the market, but later, when they were, they choose Rodgers.
Since they are discussing this, anyone who wants to chime in and HAS visited
the old factory to relate how the visit affected their thinking, may help to
influence those who make decisions to permit visits without the chaperone.

How many of you were strongly influenced by a visit to Rodgers on your own and
not with the intent (at that time) to buy?
