I have searched hi and lo. I know somewhere I have the breakdown of our catalog based on price. It's something like 70% of our catalog is under $50, 50% under $20, etc. :confused:

Does someone have that exact breakdown? I would like to show it off as part of my Mystery Host Show next month. My biggest obstacle is always, 'I would love to buy, but PC is too expensive' I would like to be able to break it down so they can see that it is really very affordable!! :p
 
Sorry, I don't have the breakdown but, if I were you I would find out what in paticular they think is expensive. Like I have had people say that our spatula's are way expensive. So, I explain to her/him that if they went to Wal-Mart where the spat's are cheap that they will pay $5 every 12 months for a new spatula or they could buy one of ours and really get a cost savings.
 
You're exactly right, Andrea. Frugal would be the word. In all walks of life, the best is usually the best investment. One of my favorite pairs of Allen-Edmonds shoes cost me about $150 in 1987. 18 years ago, that was an awful amount of money for a pair of shoes when I could have bought a look-alike pair at the warehouse for 30 bucks. Eighteen years later, I'm still wearing the Allen-Edmonds. The warehouse shoe store isn't there anymore and I doubt that any of those shoes are, either.

I don't have enough disposable income to throw away on disposible merchandise.

I usually don't have a problem countering specific objections to specific products, I just wanted to start with the actual breakdowns. I swear I saw it here. It would make sense because where else is there so much great PC info all in one place!!!
 
*digs out calculator and starts adding*

Maybe I can finally get some use out of that statistics class I had to take in college.

If I could remember any of it.

Thanks! I kinda surprised myself with it.

I'm going to start using it, so if it helps you sell a tool, go for it!
