It's amazing what hype will do for a company...

haha, i wouldn't even think of using any of those products.

try gargling sugar chub - it's far cheaper and just as effective.

N.O. Xplode was good for it's time. Things have changed fast in this industry, though, and it's no longer that impressive.

It's so freaking dissappointing - there are SO MANY good companies out there that actually deserve recognition. They just get overlooked because, being smaller, they can't afford the marketing.

In my opinion, RPN, AN, AI, PAL, Avant, Get Diesel and CL all have products worthy of awards.

and just for the record, it's not that I dislike our other board sponsors, it's just that these are companies I've tried or recieved superior benefit from. There're a LOT of other comps on here whose stuff I haven't used but still looks great!

Some companies spend a minimum of the supplement cost to market. Look around, you'll see it.

Many times those companies mentioned are not a heavy weight in the industry. Yes, say 200,000 people know about said companies and then compare that to 3,000,000...no contest.

It's not just marketing for marketing can bring you lots of bad rep just as good rep depending on who's saying what about results(feed back).

BSN has had major players backing it for years, so how could anyone be surprised that they won those awards? Are the just in winning?! NOPE, but there's no way that I am surprised.

Sure, they do market their products, as well they should (advertisement is part of entrenpreneurship), I just feel they don't receive the attention they deserve due to the outrageous claims and marketing ploys of the major industry leaders. And because of that, these smaller companies get passed over, despite having superior products, simply because they push a smaller volume of product.

Really? You mean the smaller companies don't have the same marketing? (Outrageous claims)

the bb.com awards are a scam, it's just bb.com and bsn in a 69er, they suck off each other to keep ripping off the newbs

 

[Zero V]

I hate bb.com..... but I am tired of feeling bad for people who defend BSN and MT....let em use it, makes it easier for me to surpass them... I wont argue no more...

 

[b unit]

bb.com awards are no different to the acadamy awards, studio's pay big bucks for a best movie or best actor/actress award.

online shopping is only on the increase, i'm sure whatever bsn paid bb.com for those "convented" and "prestigist" awards will be worth it in the long run.

long live the bullshit that is bb.com! :toofunny:

It's unfortunately too true.
