Kirby Vacuette

[bagintheback]

I vacuumed up some crumbs in the car yesterday and it seems to have a very cheap fan. It sounds like it going to snap when vacuuming up crumbs. But, I have a 1 year warranty!

kirbysthebest & Vacuettes...

After 25+ years in the business I don't recall them being given for buyers themselves [as a Kirby promotion program]; however, the Vacuettes were quite often used as a complimentary gift if a person gave a certain number of referrals that resulted in (a) sale(s).

Bill,
It makes more sense for it to have been a referral tool.

It was the local dealer that told me they used to give them at sales I could have misunderstood. He said that they used them like a carrot at closing "if you buy, I will give you this" The only thing was they cost the dealer and the "free gift" was too expensive to keep giving away. Then they built the cost into the package, but many opted to take a discount instead.
