Howe about a compromise? a "do it yourself kit" as it were.
Put together a few paragraphs on how to organise a group order, provide a sample
excel spreadsheet and instructions for use, and disclaim the heck out of it.
This is something LEGO could do for far less than actually running a group sales
operation.
In fact it's something that **fans** could do (I suggest Allan has the basis for
this already in HIS spreadsheet and the writeup he did a few posts back) and put
on a web page with good search terms and who knows, maybe LEGOFan.net (and the

Not as good, less impact than a TV advertised campaign, but also not as
expensive.
If LEGO really wanted to go crazy, they could provide a catalog code that gets
you something special but not too expensive to see how many people did it.
Much easier to do a business case for that.
