Spanish term or phrase: muleto
En una encuesta de satisfacción, una de las posibles respuestas a la pregunta "Qué acciones considera Ud. que contribuirían para aumentar la venta de productos?" es:

Proveer mercadería de exhibición y muletos.

Tengo una noción de lo que podría ser un muleto, i.e. una copia "boba" de un producto, por ejemplo. Pero no encuentro ningún término.

Can u help?

dummy / trial version


Explanation:
This is how I read it from the hits I've been looking at:

"No todos los equipos pueden poner 3 coches. Recordad que a alguno ya no les da ni para el muleto.

Lo que si puede suceder es que ha alguno se le ocurra poner un coche dummy, osea, una carcasa de f1 atada con una cuerda a otro de sus coches.." http://www.safety-car.net/article.php/tercer-coche-formula-1...

"El blog en cuestión es:
http://debate-piantao2.blogspot.com/
que lo uso [como dice la aclaración de su título] como "muleto" o blog de pruebas antes de introducir los cambios en éste o mejor dicho" http://bairesily.blogspot.com/2008/08/soy-una-bloggera-spaaa...

In this case it would be a trial version, but your suggestions of "boba" made me think of dummy copies of objects which are used in exhibition - in shop windows (and on stage).

Knowing now that we are talking about monitors, I would stick with dummies.
