That's what I was curious about, what are the volumes? I could believe
millions for the Shell sets, but I seriously doubt the Velux promo runs
to the millions. I kind of doubt the airline promos do either (now if
they were sold on domestic flights or through the airline's gift
catalog, that might increase the volumes, but I still doubt it). Now
clearly Shell's (and Kabaya's) higher volumes is why they have a wider
variety of sets, and I bet they get more say in what kinds of sets are
produced, but I could almost imagine there being a catalog of "promo"
sets which potential partners get to pick from.
