One of the frustrating things I deal with in the Advertising Specialty industry is pricing.
Customers like yourselves always want to know what something costs. I would love to tell them. 95% of the time, I can.
One market segment, though, is almost impossible to price - electronics. The USB Flash Drive is a popular item, but because it is basically a chip in a fancy housing, pricing is always dependent on market conditions - and memory pricing is notoriously fickle (as in gas price fickle - wild swings for no apparant reason).
One of my suppliers, iClick, has decided to help me by providing me a weekly bulletin on pricing for their USB drives. They lock in the price for a set period of time (normally a week) and we get to see trends. It's a pretty neat tool, and I'll be sharing it with you every week.
iClick is a great company - lots of innovative products, a rgeat corporate attitude, and their location right here in the Seattle area makes it easy to ensure quality production and timely delivery.
Call me and we can discuss how their USB drives, or one of their other products may be a good piece as part of your overall marketing campaign.
