This is the easiest and simple way to capture the user information. In this instance only the name, email address will be effectively harvested for the purpose of the Product Specials system - User Registration & Product Request
This is a more indeep process whereby we will ask more information to profile and categorize every user. eg.: fax, tel, region, physical address, type of work, etc... As a complementary feature, the "Product Request" will allow the user to tell us specifically what type of product he is interested in at this point of time.
