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.

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?

Making a game of spending money. Dangerous :smile:

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..

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.

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

It would make buying boilers a bit more interesting though.

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

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.
