So, yeah, product placement can be a type of marketing. If unintentional sometimes.

Product placement can be taken to extremes, I suppose. My latest WIP features an Abraham Prescott upright bass, of which only 207 were ever made. Talk about a niche market!
(I don't have one, I just wish I did. I occasionally ogle the bass that resides in a local church, and I got to touch (not play) one in a nearby music shop.
The character who owns it, by the way, drives a Nissan Sentra and it's a POS so I won't have any Nissan aficionados running to read my book.
