-Many men and women are looking for a place that pays them enough to pursue their own life. On the front lines one may or may not purchase their company's products. I find this particularly common with lower level workers. I believe there is nothing wrong with that. If they work hard and do good work, whose business is it where they invest their funds?
-For PR purposes; one higher up the ladder is going to likely shop at their company or use the products, promotions, and/or services their organization provides.
Ultimately, I have found people get to caught up with image, rather than actual work done. Additionally, most of us don't want to engage with our company after we're off the clock. Why on earth would we shop there then?
Personally, I have found boundaries to be imperative for formulating a strategy.
We already give companies our lives. Don't give them our money too...

Thank you for your time.
It seems obvious that your own team would work as an initial focus group of the products you produce.
What are some reasons this might be bypassed intentionally?
