REO demonstrations were conducted in a variety of ways:

 

mobile kitchens and exhibitions
meant that demonstrations could be experienced all over Ireland.

 

cooking demonstrations
to show the convenience of the electric oven. Dishes were shared among the audience members to show that the proof really was in the pudding.

 

targeted demonstrations
to illustrate the benefits of electricity to specific audiences, such as tradesmen and small businesses.

 

open-air demonstrations
where the locals were invited to try a range of appliances, for instance, to do their laundry to test the washing machine.
