Vendors and EFLers, Empower yourself

A limited mind results in limits in one's life.

Just my opinion,

Yep.. I have had one person say something to the effect of me not "needing" to buy anymore Miggle TTC's.. because of our Tornado Alley F5 base. My comment is.. I don't "need" any of it.. But I "want" em.. And I will continue to anxiously await the arrival of the new convention bases... every year.. And every year I'll buy at least 96 of them... And really, the only difference between the new teals and the orange ones is color.... Doesn't matter.. I want the new colors..

Which reminds me Reginald... If I keep dilly dallying around, I'm gonna miss your sale on figures...

Like I said in the past posts. "The consumers have the power" OUR MONEY speaks volumes. I buy WHAT I WANT, WHEN I WANT. If I created a post stating I want to buy electric football figures and I have a $100.00 bucks to spend I bet only 50% of the companies would respond. Why? I am only one voice. However, if fifty people said I have a hundred to spend, then all would respond! There is a market out there and thats why Dewayne and McFarlane are now entering the mix. They listen to the consumer. As far as copying or stealing ideas I don't know anything about that but there seems to be things going on behind the scenes that we don't either know about or don't care to know about. Personally I don't care. Just give me a quality product for a fair price. I have bought just about everything there is to buy in this hobby from everyone. Everyone has treated me with respect and kindness. Why? I have something they want. My money.

NCH,

Its not really about getting someone's money so much as it is about expressing yourself and generating a quality product so that others will want to buy it from you.

My general philosophy is that the harder I work and the more sincere I am about the project, the more attention it will get and others will want to buy it as well.

When I did the decals, I did them for myself, not for others. When they were good enough for me I began to offer them out to the community.

My prices are about to drop way down in the very near future so even more people will be able to get them much cheaper than before.

Never focus on the reward, just enjoy the work at hand.

DM,

I understand where you are coming from but I'm sure your'e not in business to loose money. Expression and self worth is good for the individual but unfortunetly it always comes down to money. You sale an awsome product for a good price and you should be PROUD! In my opinion you SHOULD NOT lower your price. Your product should and does speak for itself.

I appreciate that and I have thought about leaving the price unchanged. But it was my view that eventually, once the decals caught on and were tested and approved by the community, that a drop in price would eventually take place.

The idea is to get it out to the people. Remember when Big screen TVs were $3,000.00 dollars. They are now on sale at Wal Mart for $999.99.

Just a natural process.

Until my website (EF Planet) is finished, the price of $50.00 will stick. After the drop, decals for custom uniforms will still remain at $50.00.
