The survey results on last week's survey ....

As we are approaching the end of the financial year, do you generally put up your prices at this time?

  • great business model, how to lose repeat customers 101.
    I've seen businesses try to do that to me, now I'm buying from their competition.

  • I would be very surprised if I read 'yes we're putting up our prices' the only ones who do this regularly are the paper merchants, the guys in the trenches don't have this option because of competitive pressures. I think in order to grow your business & profits you've got to expand your offer or add value in some way so that you're customer just doesn't want to go elsewhere. If you're selling on price it's very tough. (William Bell, Company unknown) 
  • Is this price increase due to higher and rising supplier material costs or due to rising labour costs or due to the ever increasing leasing, electrical, NBN running costs? What ever it is or what ever the reason, I believe small business should evaluate this regularly on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Your hourly rate should be always in line with your break even analysis and your profit mark up on materials should also be reflective of the current market trends and tolerances. On the 30th June I will be reevaluating all of the above. All whilst keeping in mind what the market forces will allow.
  • Why? Not sure the reasoning behind that at all
  • Possibly, I think all businesses should review their pricing on a regular basis and this could be an ideal time as you start a new financial year. It does not mean that you have to, just review the pricing.
  • No, not at all.
  • Yes, our costs keep going up from many of our suppliers (electricity, phones and internet, rates and other government taxes, general cost of living and of course salaries) and if we are to maintain the margin that we need to keep going, then a review is essential and this is as good a time as any, possibly the best time.

Paddy and Paddy

Paddy Connor and Paddy O'Reilly, two Irishmen, went out one day and each bought a pig.

When they got home, Paddy turned to Paddy and said, "Paddy, me ol'mate, how are
we going to tell who owns which Pig?"

Paddy says, "Well Paddy, I'll cut one of te ears of my Pig, and ten we can
tell them apart."

"Ah, dat id be grand," says Paddy.

This worked fine until a couple of weeks later, when Paddy stormed into the
house. "Paddy" he said, "Your Pig has chewed the ear off my Pig. Now we got
two pigs with one ear each. How are we going to tell who owns which fookin
pig.?"

"Well Paddy," says Paddy,"I'll cut ta other ear off my pig. Ten we'll ave
two pigs and only one of them will avan ear".

"Ah tat'd be grand" says Paddy.

Again, this worked fine until a couple of weeks later, when Paddy again
stormed into the house. "Paddy", he said, "Your pig has chewed the other ear
offa my fookin pig!!!." "Now, we got two pigs with no ears!!!. How we gonna
tell who owns which fookin pig?"

"Ah, dis is serious, Paddy" said Paddy. " I'll tell ya what I'll do. I'll
cut de tail offa my pig. Den we'll av two pigs with no ears and only one
tail."

"Ah tat'd be grand" says Paddy.

Another couple of weeks went by and..........you guessed it, Paddy stormed
into the house once more.

"PADDY," shouted Paddy, "YOUR FOOKIN PIG HAS
CHEWED THE TAIL OFFA MY PIG, AND NOW WE GOT TWO FOOKIN PIGS WITH NO FOOKIN EARS AND NO FOOKIN TAILS!!!!!!!.

HOW DE FOOK ARE WE GONNA TELL 'EM APART!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Ah, Fook it" says Paddy, "how's about you have the black one, and I'll have the white one"
