Product Price Good

What's the difference between product price and price today, and what does after rebates mean?

I;m getting a new phone but the vocabulary used on the at&t website is so confusing. I want to upgrade my phone, but I don't know how much exactly I am suppose to pay.

Product price is the MSRP. Manufacturer Suggested list price. Price today is what they will actually sell it for. After rebates means what you pay for it less what you have to mail in the rebate form for and get back later. For example, a phone may be $100 MSRP, actual Price $80 and after rebates would be something like $75 if there were a $5 rebate.

A lot of online sellers tend to think that if they can buy liquidated products at pennies on the dollar, they'll make a killing reselling them on their web sites. The truth is, the seller is the one who could end up getting hurt with unanticipated costs and problems.

Buying liquidations is a very tricky business, and you need to be prepared before you jump in and swim with the sharks. Liquidated product purchases are always non-refundable!

Liquidated products, also called "secondary market goods" to make the whole thing sound a little better, come from a variety of sources. They could be factory overruns that never left the manufacturer, last year's models that were never sold at the retail store, customer returns, used products (such as computers) that a school district or a company is dumping, incomplete or damaged scratch-n-dents, etc. The point is that if something is being liquidated, it means that whoever is liquidating them could not sell them at retail themselves.

That in itself is reason to be cautious!

There are lots of web sites advertising liquidations. The web sites themselves, no matter how good their reputations, do not control the actual liquidation sales themselves. They don't even check out the legitimacy of the liquidators advertising on them. That's on your head; you're the one who has to make sure you're not getting burned when you buy. If you're not very careful, it's really easy to end up with a whole garage full of junk that you'll never be able to sell. If that's the case, why bother with liquidated products at all?

Well, it is true that you can get some really good deals at liquidation prices. Typically these are going to be one of a kind deals; you won't be able to get a steady stream of the same liquidated products over and over again. In other words, you can't base your entire web site on these products. So, most online sellers use them as "loss-leaders". A loss leader is a product that you sell at a very low price as a "special" to get people to come into your store, so you can show them the more expensive stuff that you carry all the time. Here are a few things to remember when sourcing and selling liquidations:

Stay in your product market

If you're selling small kitchen appliances on your web site, it doesn't do you any good to buy a liquidation lot of computer monitors. The liquidation products you sell on your site have to match the products you sell all the time; otherwise they look odd and out of place on your pages and in your advertising. If you're using the products as loss-leaders, which you should, they need to be as close in type and style to your regular full-price line of products as you can get.

Check out your sources

Don't just buy the first thing you see from the first liquidator you find just because the price is good. Yes, sometimes good liquidation lots sell in a hurry, but so do bad ones, and you don't want the bad ones. Make sure the seller shows complete address and phone info. Call them, and ask them about the condition of the products. If they're evasive and don't want to commit to a straight answer to a straight question, forget it. Make sure you get a statement in writing (an email is fine) about the exact condition of all of the liquidated products before you consider buying.

Expect a complete accounting

A liquidation lot should come with a manifest that details the exact count of the products, the original wholesale cost, and the discounted liquidation price. When you look at the price of the liquidation lot you're buying consider all the costs, not just the price of the products. You have to pay for shipping, you may have to pay for materials to re-pack out-of-box items, you may have to take time to clean products up, etc.

Liquidations can be a good source for generating income through loss leaders, cross selling and more, but you need to remember to approach them with extreme caution, or your plan to make money with them could turn into a financial loss very quickly.

Case Product Price

Can u give the Possible Problem Statement for this Business case? tnx?

Can you help me with this Business Case..? Thanks?

The "Dressing Corp" was a manufacturer of high quality undershirts. This company started up by copying popular styles and designs from U.K. The 1st 10 years was quite profitable.
In 1981 the market for undershirts suddenly took a downturn. It was no longer Fashionable to wear undershirts. More and More factories sprouted up and willing to compromise on price and payment. The company was astounded.

A year later the Dressing Corp Started feel the pinch. The Introduced "Bubbles" which was a new brand of exactly the same product quality but priced lower to match competing products

Having failed to improve the marketability of its traditional product lines. The company added a couple of lines like jeans and printed shirts. Whch also failed.
At this point managements thought that one way to save the dwindling profitability ws to infuse more capital to modernize its factory and produced btter qualty product.

The problem is that success comes with lower prices, not high quality merchandise. Upgrading the factory will do nothing for the business. What management should be thinking about is outsourcing their production line to overseas manufacturers, and then selling their product to big-box retailers.

Pricing is an important part of your marketing mix strategies. Pricing can help or hinder your product or service sales. Given that your product is good quality, that it has the features and benefits that your buyers want and need, that it is differentiated from your competition, and that it has a good cost structure and a good, strong promotion and distribution program, your pricing strategy for your product or service can help you sell it, or not. Pricing strategies can have a very direct impact on growing your market share.

Four alternative pricing strategiess for your business are:

• Generic or economy pricing. This strategy treats generic or economy-type brands with a low price - the value to the buyer is in the low price. Your business approach to this pricing strategy must be rooted in a low cost structure, minimal features, minimal promotion but still solid (not extravagant) benefits.
• Differential Pricing. With this strategy, you might choose to price your product differently by buyer type (e.g. retail store, online store, a department store), by geographic region (e.g. the California market might be higher priced than Illinois), by volume purchased (e.g. a customer buying a large volume would receive a different price than one buying a small volume), by national account segment (e.g. you might negotiate special differential pricing with a national account versus the price you would charge to a local account). With all of these differential prices, there must be a justifiable reason for the price differences.
• Premium Pricing. This strategy is commonly used for luxury items or high end, high value goods, such as expensive jewellery, boats, planes, estates, etc. Only use this strategy if your product's value is recognized by your market as being a premium or luxury good.
• Captive Product or Companion Product Pricing. This pricing strategy is also used in product line pricing. This strategy bundles, and usually packages, like products together to be priced as companions (for example, a mixer and a mixing bowl) and as captives (for example, pens that have to have a specific refill (not generic), razors that can only use a specific blade, etc.). Captive or Companion product pricing often relies on packaging to offer the two products in one package (for example, a trial pack of blades with the razor; one pen refill packaged with the pen; or the tape refill with the tape dispenser). Then when those blades, refills or other companion products are used, the price to buy new blades, refills or other products is significantly higher than the original priced package.

Thoroughly analyze your product, your buyers, your competitors (and their possible actions and reactions), and your market before you decide which pricing strategy would best-fit your business. Then review pricing strategy by product, and by product line, on a regular basis to make sure that the fit remains the best.

Product Price

why the product's price and salary is different in different countries?

For example, a big size bottle of mineral water charges USD$1 dollar in honolulu, but charges only USD$0.66 dollar in taipei or seol? A studio monthly rental in honolulu is USD$800, but USD$300 in most asian countries?

Is it possible for asian countries to increase its products prices and salaries to standardise the whole world prise?

Here is an example scenario:

Stage 1.
There is a noodle shop Restaurant #1 with three workers who sell a bowl of noodles for a dollar.

Stage 2
Another noodle store Restaurant #2 moves in next door with the exact same situation (and cost.)

Competing evenly against each other for 100 customers who buy noodles, the first store looses10 customers to Restaurant #2, but the majority -90-are loyal to Restaurant #1.

Stage 3
Restaurant #2 cannot survive just selling to ten customers. So Restaurant #2 lowers the price of their noodles to fifty cents. At first the new store has to let go of one of the employees who they cannot afford to pay, and lowers the pay but increases the work for the other two.

Stage 4
Soon though more than 75 of the customers come for the cheaper price at Restaurant #2. And restaurant #1 cannot compete and closes.

Stage 5
Restaurant #2 now takes all of the business and hires back the old employee and raises the price of the noodles back up to $1.

Restaurant #1 represents the Western Culture
Restauarnt # 2 represents Asian countries

In the cycle we are in stage 3 lower prices, lower wages and harder work. Eventually the story will play out and Asian nations will increase their products prices and salaries to more competitive world-wide standards.

Hope this helps.

If you're tired of spending hours on the computer searching for that one single name brand item at a cheap price, then the search guide below will save you much time and money.

Google, Yahoo, Mama, MSN, AOL.... the Key to Searches

Ah! It's so nice to have all the search engines at your fingertips. You can find almost anything you want online thanks to these wonderful companies - from painted glass to brand name video games to jewelry. There's no limit to how or what you can search for online. But, have you ever wondered why it seems so difficult to find certain items? So have millions of others just like you!

The reason it's sometimes very difficult to find specific name brand products is because of the combination of general search terms and millions of possibilities. When you type in the word "electronics," millions of results will show. In fact, approximately 391,000,000 search results came up in Google when I checked last! That's a lot of electronics!

Not only are there millions of results for "electronics" but there are also hundreds of meanings. Each site uses the word in a different way. So, if you're looking for the brand name "Toshiba electronics" and only type in the word electronics, you are not likely to find what you need.

The word "electronics" could be interpreted by the search engines as:

* Electronics products
* Electronics training
* Electronics engineering
* Electronics in the names of companies (Example: Smith Electronics, Inc.)
* Science and electronics

Use Specific Brand Names and other "Key" Words in Your Search

If you need to find a specific name brand item at a cheap price, use the brand name along with the following "key" words or phrases in your search to narrow it down a bit. Here are some specific search phrase examples using "As Seen on TV" name brand products.

* As Seen on TV cheap prices
* As Seen on TV name brand bargains
* As Seen on TV housewares
* As Seen on TV Smart Spin (specific product)
* As Seen on TV Smart Spin $10.99 (specific product and price)
* As Seen on TV cheap
* As Seen on TV sale

As you can see, online shopping through the search engines can be narrowed down as specific as you want - even to the product name and price you're looking for. If you type in something and find very few results, try generalizing the search phrase just a little until you get the results you want. Always start with very narrow searches, however, to save time.

Take the tips above and see if you can't find the name brand bargains you're looking for within 20 minutes or less. If you can't, then maybe the item is simply not available online at that price - it happens!

You might be surprised at how quickly you can get the name brand products you want such as outdoor items, jewelry, As Seen on TV items, painted glass, video games, electronics, and more at very cheap prices!

Best way to potty train German Shepard Puppy?

Amelia is the newest addition to our family and shes a great puppy with the exception of potty training her. We have a crate for her that we keep in doors and she sleeps in it and goes in as she pleases. We bring her outside almost every 1-2 hours with the exception of night and when we have to go to work and my husband and I cant get to the house then its 3-4 hours. Any how no matter what Amelia will run around the house go outside then run in to her crate and go potty only in there!!! She treats it as a toilet. We have a clicker so she hears that noise when she goes outside. We let her know what good girl she is and we ignore her bad habit per dog training books. I think our issue is the breeder we bought her from would keep the pups and mom in an outdoor crate 24-7 (very sad) and just spray it down once a day. I think my pup thinks thats how it is. But our crate is indoor and we dont want that!!! Please help! Thanks!

Somebody SHOULD have been home with her 24/7 for at least the first week, preferably fortnight. I expect house-training & toilet training almost completed during the first day, but it takes longer to ensure that the pup is quite certain about what to do.
And I disapprove of crates except for travelling or to protect the dog from unruly children who were badly raised by a visitor.
When no-one is home, the dog should be in an escape-proof roofed outdoor run that is at least 12 ft between gate and raised sleeping box, so that it has room to bounce around, can choose to sleep in the shade or in the sun, can go toilet whenever it wants, and can safely experience the scents, sounds & movements of the environment - far more interesting than in a crate or locked in a room!

• Toilet training consists primarily of YOU learning your pet's timing and signals, and responding to them by picking the pup up and carrying it to the designated patch of newspaper or yard, then staying there silently until the pup does what you're out there for, and THEN praising the pup enthusiastically, using its name plus the word that will eventually become a command - eg , "Good girl TOILET, Amelia!" (I recommend shortening her call-name to just 2 syllables - maybe Amy or Meelee.) NO games out there until after she's been toilet. No coaxing or movement from you. Not until AFTER she's worked out why she's there.

• A 7-8 weeks old puppy will probably give its toilet signal one minute after waking up, 3 minutes after a meal - but pups vary, and the period extends as the pop ages.
• Commonest signal is a nose-down circling as it chooses the best spot to squat on.

Your crate now being saturated with toilet odours, it is going to need high powered cleaning and a prolonged exposure to the elements.
And as she has learned to mess inside, you are going to have to start from scratch. Carry a balled-up sock or a lightweight tennis ball at all times. If your observation is slack and she has crouched before you realised, stamp your foot beside her before picking her up and carrying her outside as above - that serves to startle her into stopping, but if she piddles on your hands, so what?
If she is out of reach, throw the sock and time your stamp to sound as the sock hits her - the purpose isn't to hurt her, just to convince her that you have an incredibly long invisible arm.

I hope you have already booked yourself in to a training class that starts as soon as possible after she turns 18 weeks old. There you will be coached to improve your technique, and your pup will learn to pay attention regardless of what other dogs & people are doing.
Prior to that, all her training is to be by patient reinforcement of her actions - praise that includes the eventual command word, plus a simultaneous reward, some examples being:
• pats, or rubs on croup or chest or ear-bases;
• a game of ball-chase or tug-o-war;
• a tiny tidbit such as a salted peanut, a sliver of hard cheese or baked liver or crisped bacon or cooked hot-dog.
Note: Tidbits should be so tiny that they supply barely a smell & taste, leaving the dog keen to earn another, and another.

And you cannot have a "German Shepard" - there is no farm task called ARDing. My breed was developed to HERD sheep in the German boundary patrolling way, so is the German Shepherd Dog - 3 words, or GSD for short.

"In GSDs" as of 1967

We have 5 indoor cats. They have their own room, in our home, with 2 cat condos & 3 automatic litter boxes. They very generously share it with my desk, computer & filing cabinet. In order to give them "safe" access to the outside, we built them a two room outdoor kennel, connected to our house. We have several bird feeders around for them to watch (sort of like kitty TV).

1. In the back wall of "their" room is a pet door.

2. Attached to the pet door, on the outside is a walkway the size of the door, enclosed with chicken wire, which attaches to an entry hole cut in the kennel wire.

3. Attached to the walkway is a 2" X 6" X 5' long board, covered with sisal rope descending to the ground inside the kennel.

4. The kennel has two rooms constructed by erecting two 7'W X 13' L X 6'H dog kennels.

5. A secure roof is made by constructing 2 sections of roof, per room, 8' X 4' of 2" X 2" wood frame & 1 sheet of corrugated PVC plastic cut in 2 sections & attached to the roof to allow water to flow off the roof.

6. These two sections are attached in the center of each room to form the pitched roof. A section of pipe, like the kennel frame, is attached to the top of the kennel frame with risers, making the center of the roof about 8" taller than the sides, allowing for the pitch of the roof. The roof sections are attached by strapping the frame of each roof section to the center pipe with long electrical ties.

7. Since the pitch in the roof leaves openings at each end, between the roof & the kennel top rail, a plastic mesh material is attached in the opening to prevent escape.

Cats love to climb trees, so, sections of cut tree limbs are configured in each room of the kennel to give them trees to climb & allowing space on each where they can lay & watch their outside world around them. Also in the kennel is a perch with scratching posts.

I designed two outside condos made of plastic dairy crates that will be weatherproof. Sides were cut out to make tunnels through which the cats can walk and then ascend to the next level. The first condo is four levels high. Each level has at least one crate on the end where a cat can lay. They can also lay inside each crate forming the tunnel. Since dairy crates have no solid sides, to each horizontal exposed crate surface I have attached a square piece of plastic with a square of outdoor carpet glued to it. This gives them the solid surface on which to walk or lay. The condos are created by strapping the crates together with electrical ties. These are strong and will last indefinitely.

If you're not up to this type of construction, from scratch, consider one of our Premium Outdoor Cat Enclosures These are made of weather resistant, high quality materials, built to last for years. Sizes and designs vary but there should be one for any household. There's even some that include a large cat tree and other accessories such as food and water bowls, perches, and even a "chute" for entrance from a window or pet door.

PLEASE give some serious thought to providing an outside habitat for your indoor cats where they can safely, securely investigate the outdoor wonders they crave.
