Just to let you know Screwfix have launched diamond cores (but without our guide plate)

[Catalogue 88] Examples are here
Their total seperate selling price for 2x6mm 2x8mm 1x16mm 1x30mm 1x40mm is
£120.43 plus pp

p4751050_l.jpg



Total Screwfix Direct selling price is £120.43 to equal our BFKMX


The upshot here is that 365Drills are far too cheap.

As a matter of urgency we will be reviewing our prices.

We are recosidering our price and it may raise to £59.99 (Half the price) which is a price raise of £20 from £49.99

Why havent we done it already?
1) Because we wanted to see what Screwfix did with this.
2) Because we are just revamping our website for trade sales
3) Because I am going on holiday for September!

I would appreciate any forum input on this from you guys. Should the BFKMX be £59.99 ?

Should I sell single drills ? IE the 8mm for £9.99 each instead of £29.99 for four drills.

Should I sell the drill plates seperate? Or do I need to be better, quicker cheaper, nicer than Screwfix?

My advice is if you want a bargain kit then get it while you still can at £49.99 which is now looking WAY too cheap compared to £120. When I return from my hols then its a price revamp for winter...

GET THEM HERE!

Order 365 diamond drills holesaws drilling granite cutting wall tiles

I'd sell singles, at least as a promotion, just to get some out there. And I'd keep the BFKMX at 49.99 and just consider their prices when you introduce newer sets/bits in the future.... i think.

The trouble with companies in Hong Kong is that you have to watch out that they have an ethical trading policy.

Many use child labour.

You can get almost anything from china. They do fantastic knock offs. I am busy talking to some of the UK biggest retailers about stocking our brand.

Of course the talk always heads in the direction of having things mass produced in China. But at the expense of British jobs.

A fine balance.
