BYOAC Discounts With Vendors?
SirPeale:
I used to offer a 5% discount with code BYOAC in my store. No one took advantage of it. :dunno
DashRendar:
Maybe we should just have a stickied thread, where the vendors can post a link to their site, and the code for the discount they are offering.
It would increase business for the vendors, and make it easier for BYOAC members to take advantage of. 8)
Ginsu Victim:
Nah, they're going to get our business anyway. I don't see an advantage for them.
DashRendar:
Not necessarily.
I know someone who picked up a countertop from Home Depot to use as his control panel, because while he spent money on it, it wasn't as expensive as a professional control panel from Mameroom.com.
Someone might buy a Happ 8-way joystick instead of an Ultimarc 360, because again, it's a bit cheaper.
You may know someone who decided to spray paint their cabinet sides black, instead of spending some money to buy side art.
We almost always have choices for what we buy- and it does come down to cost for a lot of people in this hobby.
Ginsu Victim:
5 - 10 percent really wouldn't do much to convince most people to buy one of the items you mentioned, though. That's not a lot of savings at all. You can't compare a Happ Comp/Super to a U360 in price no matter what the savings are. Even at 50% off, the U360 is still too expensive for some buyers.
