Generic Viagra Demand
In August of 2007, Daniel Kostner began to get unexpected requests from a large number of pharmacists. They wanted to increase the size of their shipments of Generic Viagra. Those requests pleased Kostner, but he also found them perplexing. He did not know why pharmacists would suddenly want to be receiving more Generic Viagra.
Kostner did not know that an executive in another office had received similar letters. That executive, Lawerence Bellows, worked for the company that made Generic Cialis. Bellows had received a surprisingly large number of letters from pharmacists. They all made the same request. They wanted the Cialis Corporation to increase the size of their shipment of Generic Cialis.
Kostner decided to call one of the local pharmacists. He wanted to find out if local male shoppers had increased their demand for ED pills. As Kostner talked to the local pharmacist, that man noticed that he had another incoming call. He said to Kostner, "Wait a minute," and he tried to complete the process for putting Kostner on hold while listening to the new caller.
The pharmacist had recently been transferred to a new store. He had not yet become proficient at using the phone in his new location. He managed to put his new caller on the line, but he unknowingly let Kostner listen to that call. The new call was from the executive in the Cialis' offices.
Kostner listened as the pharmacist talked to the executive in the Cialis offices. "Hey Dick," said the Cialis executive, "Have you noticed any change in the demand for Generic Cialis?"
"Funny you should ask," said the pharmacist. "I am getting more requests from male customers for both your product and for Generic Viagra."
"Thank you for providing me with that information. It has been very helpful," said the Cialis executive. He hung up the phone.
Back in the Viagra offices Kostner had also quietly put down his phone. He sat in his chair trying to figure out what was going on. Why was the pharmacist reporting an increasing demand for ED pills?
Kostner had that question in the back of his mind for the rest of the afternoon. He had almost forgotten about that troubling question after he sat in his most comfortable family room chair. He had just started to read the paper when his wife said, "We have a new member of our family."
"What do you mean?" asked Kostner.
Kostner's wife explained what she meant: "Doug's daughter called her father today. He had not heard from her since July 4th. His daughter went to Vegas following Indepence Day. She got married there on July 7th."
When Kostner got that news, then he remembered all the weddings that had taken place on that Saturday, 7/7/7. Kostner now could make more sense of all the requests for Generic Viagra and Generic Cialis.
Among that large group of newlyweds were some men who had encountered problems with obtaining an erection. They had therefore looked to the pharmacist for help getting a remedy for their problem. They had decided to purchase ED pills.
