I took my Zicam box that I had ordered from their website to my local Target store and asked the Pharmacist about it. He said they hadn't received any yet, but were trying to get a supply and had a number of requests. I then went to my Costco (Price Club) outlet and was pleasantly surprised to see a nice sized display (about 6-8 packages wide) at a nice location. I bought two more at $7.39 (vs $12.50 mail order - so there's some profit built in obviously). When I checked out, the cashier noticed the words on the package "helps reduce the duration of the common cold" and she told me she was going to buy some of her own to try. She asked me how it worked and I tried to describe the spraying process. She told me she had finally got over a cold that had lingered nearly 3 weeks. I told her I was waiting for a cold to try the product on, but that it seemed worth a try for the modest cost. She readily agreed. Word of mouth and advertising is going to create enough demand out there for stockholders to smile about, and soon I think!
