What's wrong with that??You say that as if I have a problem with you supplying builders and developers with cheap kitchens... I have no problem with that at all, supplying quality kitchens at cheap prices is something we already do.
Quote:It's no different to when tesco started selling levi jeans for twenty quid and levi got snotty about it because they wanted to keep the price artificially high. Tesco bought the jeans on the grey market which basically let them do what they liked pricewise, and the customer was the winner. To my knowledge the levi stores are still busy aren't they? I'm not looking to tread on anyone's toes, just to make good quality rigid kitchens available to those small builders and fitters who can't afford them at the moment.In that case, stop treading on toes! Follow the rules that others have to adhere to, it's really not that difficult. I'd welcome you as a genuine competitor who plays by the same rules that we do.
Quote:I did also say I've arranged all my own images (at some expense to myself), plus put aside over 12 grand to hopefully get it to the top of google. I think it's only fair that you reserve judgement for a few weeks (or even months) until it's up and running. It will be www.trade-kitchens.net by the way.It takes a lot more than money to get to the top of Ggle, but you'll find that out sooner or later. But, I hope you have a lot more money tucked away for this, you'll need it.
Quote:As I said in my earlier posting I am sure someone will come along one day and really crack the internet thing but I don't think it will be me.I agree, I don't think it'll be you either. You postcreting a customers drain, for some reason, gives me the impression that customer service isn't high on your list of neccessities for running a business. Go figure.
Quote:It's a big world out there, and there is a huge space for internet retailers, even when selling the same product. It's not all about price though, if it were wouldn't lidl be busier than tesco?Sheesh, I hope you have better analogies than that to use. Give Lidl's the amount of marketing money that Tesco has, then we'll see who's busier ;)
