I own a very new, very small business selling underboob sweat protectors.
This morning I posted an offer on my page. It wasn’t a big offer but it was a saving. We’re talking a £1 saving here. Trust me, that’s important information.
I get a comment on my offer: “if you can afford to post offers like that, why don’t you just drop your prices? 🙄”
I’m horrified. I don’t understand what the motivation was behind it… I don’t think my prices are unreasonable at all and I’m not sure why someone would say that?
Ignore these people. Price your goods to make money, that’s why you started the business isn’t it?
People will bitch and moan about everything.
If you feel it necessary to respond to people like this you can also explain that discounts like this aren’t sustainable you are doing promotion to advertise the product and get repeat customers that will allow you to make up any losses from the promotion. That’s literally what promotions are for.
