The survey results on the question of .....:

Would you switch suppliers if your supplier was providing product to a backyard operator who regular undercut you?

  • I find this a silly question. Are we children? There are small businesses and one man operations all over this country. My own company started out as a sole proprietor/one man operation back in 1987, it is a lot larger than that now. The reason I would change suppliers is if I find out that I am not getting the service the company deserves, a fair/best price for the product I am purchasing, they do not honour material warranties, or they do not honor their legal obligation to service maintain the machinery I have purchased from them. It is a competitive industry out there not only for us the sign men & women but also for the suppliers. 
  • No. Cannot force who your Suppliers customers are. 
  • Yes (Steve, SS Signs Skreenkraft)
  • No. It's not the supplier's fault, they have no control over what I or my colleagues charge. However, if I found they were getting special pricing that was helping them to keep undercutting me, That is a different story altogether. (Shane, DSI)
  • I would certainly consider it but realising that the supplier has every right to sell to whom they like. They would probably not appreciate me threatening them with a withdrawal of business for that reason. They may dump me as a customer.
