Something tells me flying reindeer eat more than the standard models. Shamans and priests are similarly difficult to adequately compensate. Think about it - how do you physically value - in the course of earthly business... a prayer that's more intangibly valuable than a prayer from some apostate? IDK what you guys spend your idle winter hours doing, but I like to workshop solutions for the religious economy. This one would be a gold mine for anyone who could solve it - and we all have experience..or, at least, all of us who've left money under a pillow.
Think about it like this. Abandon your principles from the outset in service of being a better hypothetical business owner. What is the smallest amount of financial incentive you can offer that will compel your target market to specific and specifically profitable behaviors for your occluded business model? The answer to that question tells you how much money to give a kid for a tooth to get them thinking about and brushing teeth ...which may not make you a dime (but can save you thousands in dental), but it also answers the question of how to organize your seed money payout scheme in a prosperity gospel mlm.
Flying reindeer are magical creatures and therefore do not need to eat. They do, however, enjoy the carrots left out for them by thoughtful children. Check and mate.
