Re: Co-op buying offer
Posted: 31 Jan 2010, 17:34
There's been quite a bit of chatter about the possibility of co-operative buying on this forum and how best to go about it, so I thought I'd throw a couple of offers on here and see if this really works for you guys & gals.
Offer 1:
DF1 Mug Press Business Starter Package includes DF1 mug press, D120 printer, Artainium Easyflow Ink System, 72x European Mugs, 1x Pack of 100 Sheets of A4 TruPix Paper and a 66m roll of heat tape. Individual selling price £538.30 +vat. Standard webprice £499 +vat + delivery. Extra discounted price for DSF £475 +vat and free delivery. For this offer to work there would need to be 3 committed purchasers and this would be available from around 8th February onwards (just waiting for new stock of DF1 to arrive this week).
As I see this working the 3 interested parties would need to agree amongst themselves to commit to the purchase and then make contact with the supplier to confirm the deal. The co-op buying system only works if all 3 systems are sold at the same time so this is not the same as a "special offer price" for DSF members.
Offer 2:
European Mugs for sublimation printing. These are normally £1.00 +vat each on a case of 36, £0.95 +vat on 72, £0.90 +vat on 504, £0.85 +vat on 1008 or more.
There are 2 ways of working the next offer and I'll take preferences from you on this. The first way is to operate in the same manner as above and look for co-op buyers at price points on 504 or 1008+. Once committed buyers have agreed on how many they want on a particular day then they agree amongst themselves and contact us to place the order. If 1008+ mugs are sold to those in the co-op that day then everyone gets the lower price of £0.85 +vat each irrespective of how many each of you buy that day.
The alternative way of operating this is that there is a smaller discount to DSF members for this particular product so you don't have the hassle of organising the co-op buyers but also you might not benefit from the lowest possible price.
Once there is a consensus (or majority view) on the second offer then I'll confirm the details for all from February 8th onwards for DSF members.
