marketing by dennismv 2011-03-04 09:13:49
Canon promo coupon offers $50 off for buying a combo of printer + camera, if you buy it on their online store.

The math:
Printer: $199.99 - instant savings of $40 = 159.99
camera: $399.99
promo savings: - 54.99 (?)
salex tax: (sales tax?) 33.60
shipping: free!
------------------------------
grand total: $593.58



Same thing on Amazon:
printer: 129.00
camera: 389.95
shipping: 20.33
tax: 0
---------------------
grand total: $539.28



ah, here is the thing -- amazon also has the $50 rebate, which makes amazon's price $489.28

Thus, the cost of marketing is ... 593.58 - 489.28 = $104.30
