Discount voucher codes are only for people we like Leo.

Way to burst my bubble Ray.

 

[Leo21]

How do we become "liked"

Dont go there .

 

[Riley]

I'm fairly accommodating if there's free stuff

 

[Leo21]

Wow, 45 degree street elbows. What ever next.

You need to change fairly to very.

 

[Riley]

I like to tease. Have a little intrigue

 

[Ray Stafford]

I did my order today Ray how do I know if I've got a bag. Will I have to wait and see.

Did your order include £100+ vat of endfeed and compression fittings? Hang on, I can probably check that... <runs off into digital backroom> nope! Way under £100. BUT... since your order came to £flip-loads, and because we like you more than Leo, I have just emailed Ian and asked him to chuck a bag in. The truck will have left by the time I drift into work at 07:30.




Ps fate ham counter staff awesome when I called earlier. Full of good ideas[/QUOTE]

 

[Riley]

I now have a warm feeling Ray. Just so I know for future, as I know you have shat loads of bags is it ONLY compression and end feed as I struggled to find extras that I needed (note needed not wanted) :smile: cheers though

Yes, its just endfeed and compression - and when we say "compression" we mean ordinary compression fittings, from page 54 in our pricebook. We have had some people argue that a Honeywell 3 port valve should count because it has compression ends!

And we can now see the end of the bag mountain.

 

[Riley]

Well congrats. What's the next over order freebie :wink:

No idea. Probably close to Kismet Pork. You go ahead and order as many fittings as you like. Punish me baby, punish me! Force me to take your money and give you bags...

 

[Ray Stafford]

We need a Feckin' edit button in the Arms.

 

[Riley]

Credit where credits due FAREHAM counter staff are awesome :smile:

Wheres your sense of adventure?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Well congrats. What's the next over order freebie :wink:

The next thing will be a series of email blasts, offering some silly deals on very short timescales, with a limit per customer and a total limit per product line.

So for example, the first blast has 6 fast moving products at prices well below our normal cost. It will go out by email, but I will also post it in the Arms. You have 4 days to take advantage, then the offer will change to 6 different product lines.

 

[Riley]

Deal of the weekish kind of thing. Sounds good

 

[Ray Stafford]

Deal of the weekish kind of thing. Sounds good

Yep.

I might also try a tent sale. I watched one of those lately.

It starts off announcing that we are going to sell (say) 100 boilers from a manufacturer. For the first 2 days, they are normal price less £20. Then for the second 2 days they are normal price less £40. Then for days 5 and 6, they are £60 off, and so on, up to £100 off.

The catch is - there is a limited number of each boiler, and you don't know how fast they are selling. So do you snap up a reasonable bargain at £60 off today, or wait for it to get to £100 off, but risk us running out?

 

[Riley]

Making a game of spending money. Dangerous :smile:

Works a treat for all em on-line casinos.

 

[Riley]

So "buying plumbing supplies anonymous" is on the cards

 

[kay-jay]

Dont like the sound of that tent sale.
Seems like a shopping channel gimmick for steam mops......

Personally I don't think it fits with what I perceive your company image to be. But its your call..

 

[Ray Stafford]

Thats a fair point. I saw it being used by a high end retailer with a good reputation - but they were using it for clearing overstock, not for main stream sales.

 

[Masood]

Agree with Kevan. Not what I associate with a company of your calibre.

 

[Leo21]

It would make buying boilers a bit more interesting though.

 

[Killy Bing]

Little suggestion ray, adding links on the boilers to the manufacturers installation instructions for us

 

[Ray Stafford]

Yep, we are slowly adding links to the manufacturers sites - very slowly at the moment, because the same team are working flat out on the new price book, which contains a few surprises.

But over time, we should add more and more links.

Any news on the fittings packs yet Ray

Work in progress Matt, work in progress. Although its easy enough to create your own.


Ray

 

[Riley]

:smile: certainly is. I was just intrigued. Also do you sell a MagnaClean pro2 chem pack I couldn't see one? Cheers as ever.

 

[Masood]

Did you buy Adam's van Killy Billy? I was seconds away from putting a deposit on a brand new one at the Vauxhall dealership yesterday...

 

[Ray Stafford]

No. They do make a pro 2 chemical pack, but won't do deals on it, so we don't stock it.

thats such a shame. I really like the pro2 but will be buying all my boiler / central heating stuff from you guys going forward as I've had enough of my idiot merchant
