bags or crates

[DN22 Gardening]

how's this for daftness.

 

we were recently given around 25 new builders sacks approx 0.6 of a cube.

as we were running out of cubic meter crates at the time we filled these instead and advertised them.

 

they've been going like hot cakes !!!!!!!

 

we usually sell a full crate (they hold 1.2 cube but we sell them as 1 cube) for £75-00 and we're considered expensive.

 

we sold the sacks for £50-00 each

 

this equates to roughly £83 per cube.

 

i've tried to explain to people that they're better off buying a crate but so far without success.

 

given up trying to educate people now, and after we've filled the last of our crates we'll be switching to vented sacks.

 

its a funny old world

I have found the same. As a result i now sell builders bags along side my vented cube bags so that i have a comparable product to the other local sellers.
