Pricing

[Guest guest]

I feel for Andy, but this is also good publicity. Many know him, and

hopefully speak up for him. His creations will speak for themselves.

Hi ne,

I followed Anya's lead to both blogs and what you suggest seems

to be exactly what is happening if you read the messages. Most were

sympathetic and emphasized the quality of his perfumes. He'll have new

customers who won't be making the comparison to the old pricing and old

customers who'll grumble a bit and after a while go back and buy at the

new price because they love the stuff. Haven't we all seen ourselves

do that on occasion?

I thought it was rather nice, really, to have an open discussion of

pricing between a producer and customers - there' s so much phony

manipulation in typical corporate pricing, " sales " based on originally

inflated prices, and set up to manipulate you rather than because there

really is a surplus of product; prices based on what they can get and

not on costs and other legitimate factors - but all disguised as

" serving you " .

Welcome lead-in, thanks Anya, to this important, touchy area. Very

helpful to read the responses.
