jayhawk22 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Let me start by saying that I am about 80% done converting all my 1" heads to $.50 and my 2" heads to $.75. To say that it has been a success is a huge understatement. It doesn't matter if it is big city locations or very small towns. All of my sales are up where I have raised prices. I think it is key to put in different/higher quality products when you raise prices. When my 1" was at a quarter I ran alot of sticky & jewelry mixes. When I changed the mechs I switched to any of the Manias, moustaches etc. The manias are blowing out in small & big towns. I actually had a location in a town of less then 500 people sell out Pet Friends in 3 weeks! I was hesitant to raise prices in my small town locations & I actually converted them last. I have also found that my $.50 1" blows away sales of my $.75 2". So if anyone is nervous about making the jump all I can say is go for it!

Thrifty Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jay, that is encouraging. When I was putting on the .50 mechs on my mania, I was a little nervous about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger vend Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 jayhawk and anyone else also I have upgraded my 1 inch toy commissions locations to 50 cents except sticky and balls, but have been hesitant to do this at my charity toy stops. Feel this may look "odd" for a charity, maybe not. Are you all upgrading both charity and commissions stops? Any feedback and thoughts appreciated. Tks, Ginger Vend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tks, Ginger Vend All of my toy locations are commission. I would not hesitate to raise a charity account too. Just remember to upgrade the quality of the product you run.

Jax Snacks Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I also worry about the price increases at the charity stops. Will it raise an eye brow or tick off the location? Not really sure. Maybe I am being a bit paranoid. Any one else doing 50 cent one-inch toys or 75 cent two-inch toys at charity locations? Or maybe I need a new camouflage suit so that they won’t see me change the prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
