a deal like "buy 1 of each color & mix the rest, order 24 &
get free display".

RCA made us buy 96 sets to get any promotional materials - displays, hang tags, window signage, you name it, you could have it, after buying 96 sets.
Outdoor signage was handled differently - once you signed on as a dealer or authorized repair center (more expensive option), you got a free 2'x3' lighted RCA sign for only 39 dollars. Larger signs were available, but only for dealer/repair center combinations. Looking back, it took about 3 years to sell all 96 sets, thanks to larger dealers and stores selling them for less than our costs. RCA Roomate sets - 13" an 17" sets mainly, with a couple of 19" Colortrak sets to round out the 96. No room to store them, so the first dozen or so went home for storage..
