Indirect Dealer Offer

[Alex]

Hello everyone! I've not been posting much recently because I've been promoting the site to indirect dealers. One of the indirect dealers would like to offer a cool offer just for T-MobileSignal users.

Here's what he's proposing...

For $14 (which includes shipping), you can either can get a home phone charger, car phone charger, faceplate, holster, or wired headset.

For $25 (which includes shipping), you can pick two of the above items.

What do you guys/gals think of think of this deal?

[Nwahs]

Is this with us signing a contract? If so, how long?

[Alex]

Oh, no contract signing. These are just accessories.

[justin]

i could do that a little cheaper for you alex

I think more people would be interested if the price was a little less.

For me eBay is the cheaper way to go when it comes to accessories for my handsets.

Considering an indirrect dealer pays $1.25 for each acc, they would be happy to sell it to you for that much

[Alex]

I think you are forgetting the amount of time the indirect dealer must put into packaging the item and then the cost of shipping it via ups or fedex.

[AndrewD]

I used to do the ordering when I worked for an indirect, the shipping is not much because they order in bulk. I saw when we ordered stuff for $1.25 then resold if for $19.99 talk about a markup

[Alex]

That may be the case but there is the cost of holding it in inventory, packaging, shipping, and advertising.

[AndrewD]

It's not as much as you think

[Nwahs]

Alright...well the thing is, they are going to make a lot of money off of us, that has been established, but there isn't a way to get it for $1.25 and I think this is one of the best deals we can get for some of this stuff. I would buy one thing if they carry something for my phone.

[Alex]

Let's remember that the dealers are quite small compared to Wal-mart and Target. Therefore, selling them for 60 cents more than what they paid for the items isn't going to be worth their time. Let me talk to the indirect and see what can be done about the price. I posted this thread because the indirect wanted to see what users thought.

Maybe have a lower price for the item and then charge for shipping. You could give member's a choice to how they want it shipped.
