It will have to go up by £5-£10 a cube soon just to cover diesel white&red,never mind cord going up as well:thumbdown:,which it will.But even at this, it would mean me putting the price of a cube up about 7.5%,when cord is going up 25%,i dont know how long i would last if this is the case

If your costs go up, pass them on. Every other industry does and justifies it.

 

If you choose to swallow the higher costs yourself, you will only go one way IMO.

your right 18 stoner, but you must know trying to explain increses like these arent easy to explain to the customer.

It is for me.

 

When they ring up after the price rise with an order, you tell them the new price and "unfortunately its due to increase in overheads"

 

If they dont like it the go elsewhere.

 

I dont lose sleep over it.

Don't forget lads, there are genuine sensible price rises beyond our control, and price rises that take the urine out of the customer, rises that might see them get there wood from elsewhere..........

Ok, my experience last year was selling nets for £3.50 each. After all costs, including labour I rekoned there was about 50pence profit per net.

 

This year I put nets up to £4.50 each. I lost nearly half my net customers, but I had almost £1.50 profit.

 

So doing half the work earned me more money.

 

Next year nets will go up again to keep in line with increase in overheads in the next months, so i still keep at least that £1.50 per net profit.
