I think a lot is conditioning- people have had manyyears to see the round and red tomatoes, look at how it took just about a huge media push to get people to try black tomatoes.

Now, I haven't sold at a market for tomatoes, but I do know a wee bit about selling at times. Visual impact is important- or I should say POSITIVE visual impact. It's got to grab the eye first.

PR is a lot of it- geez, people eat those green smoothie things that are often just nasty, not for taste, but because they think they are improving their health. We all know it takes more than smoothies to change your life, but that is the PR.

Hopefully, the ones I have/am planting will be as good as many have said, because the next step is the taste. It's got to get in their mouths some how.

So, to sell a gwr, what are the positive selling points?

Taste? Texture? What makes you want to eat that tomato?

You have to know how you want to sell this tomato* before you need to sell it.
