And some thoughts about advertising
I don't know if this is practical for the appliance business, but I think I'd love to see a low key marketing approach. Let the products speak for themselves. Let happy customers help sell.
Unrealistic? Maybe, but it has worked elsewhere. I can think of a couple of audio equipment makers that historically did zero real advertising, and managed to get by quite nicely. One example: Rega Research, which is currently doing booming business by high end standards. (Admittedly...they are doing some modern things, like a web site, and they do have people like dealers advertising, which may draw attention to Rega.)
