lewis Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Hi I dont know if Im allowed to post this up so moderators please feel free to delete this thread if it breaks your rules, and please accept our apologies. I work for a business called DriftDomain ltd our shop is going to go live next week and we need opinions on our prices All our prices include VAT and post and packaging please take this into account when looking at our prices due to not many business's do this. http://www.driftdomain.com/catalog/inde ... Path=22_24 Yet again if this does break any forum rules please accept our apologies we are just trying to give our customers the best value for money. note: If you are interested in a product before the shop goes online please contact me through the site as I can get some parts before we go online. best regards Lewis Quote
Guest prescience Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I think I can speak on behalf of the site and say that there are no paid for Trader's accounts here. Traders post and offer discounts off their own bat and of course following discussion - but there is no remuneration involved on either side. I think its worth making that clear. As to this particular post, I can see no objection since the prices seem fair and it is UK based but that is not my call. Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 That is correct - no money exchanges hands here - in either direction. Traders are free to advertise here, as long as it s in the interest of the Z community, and for those willing to offer any kind of discount, you receive a banner advert on the front page, and also a link and description in the forum discount section. Front Page: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/portal.php Discounts Section: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=39 If you are interested in offering any kind of discount to our members, please feel free to email me, or send me a PM on the forum. Many Thanks, Chris. Quote
Sarnie Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 When I said traders account I didnt actually mean money needed to be paid I just thought that traders would need prior permission to advertise here similarly to newbies wanting to sell their car here (min 15 posts) Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 That is correct, but usually traders dont have time to post regularly, so the post count rule can often be waived for traders. It is always good to see new interest from traders, the more options open to members the better. Quote
lewis Posted July 24, 2006 Author Posted July 24, 2006 I will run the discount idea around the boss tomorrow Although I think itll be on the expensive items only As looking at the costs and profits we run at very low profit margins and on some products offering 10% discount will actualy cause us to run at a loss. Thats how low the profit margins are So Ill have a word but it will be on select items only regards Lewis Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 No problem lewis - even if you arent able to offer discounts, you are still free to post up with any special offers etc in the Traders section here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=38 Quote
Removed Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 another thing to keep in mind though is (from the trader's point of view) is that we can only "recommend" traders we or our members have used in the past and have been satisfied with. Also, please bear in mind that if something goes wrong (or indeed everything goes well), and is not resolved satisfactorily, members have the right to post their experience here. Quote
lewis Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 That is absolutly fine The aim of the business is to offer the best service possible and if there is a problem at least we will be notified. So such problems never happen again. On another note: Do we have a thumbs up on the prices or are there one or two items that seem over priced? Quote
M13KYF Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I'm sure members would always like to see cheaper prices. Everybody likes to now they are getting a bargain. No doubt you have made comparissons with other supplying companiess so your prices should be in line. Quote
H5 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 That is absolutly fineThe aim of the business is to offer the best service possible and if there is a problem at least we will be notified. So such problems never happen again. On another note: Do we have a thumbs up on the prices or are there one or two items that seem over priced? With things like the carbon bits it'd be good to see more detailed pictures (weave, finish etc.) to give you an idea if it's good pricing. So many people claim to make carbon bits but when you see them up close they're pretty poor. The pics on the site don't show a much bigger picture and I'd want to see it before buying. Hope this helps! Quote
lewis Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 Cheers for that Ill try and get some larger pictures up lewis Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Also I think some close ups of carbon stuff would be useful for people as that shows the weave. similar to this: Quote
Removed Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Do we have a thumbs up on the prices or are there one or two items that seem over priced? just compared most of your items vs Funkystyling and you are always £10 dearer Quote
Removed Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 ah that's true although Chris @ Funky loves to do free postage for us members on here Quote
lewis Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Hi again Just on here to say the online shop is now active please enjoy Quote
M13KYF Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 it might be worth you posting a link in the trader section Lewis as it would be the more obvious place where members would look. Quote
