Detroit Edison Free Light Bulbs and Service Policy
Detroit Edison Co. forgoes profits by giving free bulbs and extensive service to customers. Last year it distributed over 11 million bulbs and provided round the clock repairs, handouts of iron cords, and free major appliances, funded by a seven million dollar annual cost and 1.1 million customers. The policy stems from 1913 founder Alex Dow's belief that empty sockets waste kilowatts and customer goodwill translates to future earnings.
