It’s Summer. It’s August. Work slows down a little as people focus on vacations and back to school.
But did you know that as the temperature has been rising, so have the prices for your print cartridges from the manufacturers and the Big Box Stores? Pull-eeze!
It’s no secret that the printers themselves were priced very economically to get you on board, then you paid a premium for the cartridges to keep it running. C’mon, how many times have you said to yourself, “I’d be better off just buying a new printer that comes with the ink, than paying that much just for the cartridges.”?
Oh, they heard you all right. That’s when they started putting in “Starter Cartridges” which gave you enough ink for just about a week, to get you hooked. And how many times have you heard the comparison to razor blades? Sure, they GIVE you the razor, but you need to BUY the expensive blades.
So you spend your time on your Smart Phone, and less time printing. Yeah, we understand it, and we feel it in our business. And while we are all printing less, the cartridge prices have been creeping up and up. If you didn’t notice, just look at your last few bills. They took advantage of your summertime complacency and did it again.
So you turn to the internet and find cheaper cartridges. Good for you. But do they LAST as long as the originals? And are they as reliable? Look, everyone gets a bad apple every now and then … what is the process for refund or replacement? If you run a business, are you replacing cartridges more often now, and cumulatively spending more than before because they don’t last as long? Do you get them delivered when you need them? Does the place you get them from specialize in only cartridges? Or are they a “me, too” business? Do you trust the product? Do you know the owner of the business? You know your UPS and FedEx delivery agent, but you don’t know your cartridge supplier?
For example, many times I might advise you that your printer can use a larger size cartridge, which gives you, let’s say, twice as many print outs, but only costs one and a half times the price of the original. That would be more valuable because then your “cost per page” just got lower. What if I told you that in most cases, if you buy your cartridges from me, your cost on the “Big” cartridge is equal to or LE$$ than the cost of “their” original little ones? It’s vitally important to make sure if you compare price, that it is for EXACTLY the same size cartridge with the same page yield.
I’ve specialized in print cartridges since 2004 and learned so much about them that I feel I can be your objective adviser when it comes to bringing value to the table. You would be treated like family. And you don’t need to come to us … on top of all the free expertise and services we offer, we will still bring the cartridges to you. You can do the whole transaction from the comfort of your easy chair without having to go anywhere else. I’ve spent my life in information technology, so I bring all the hi-tech to a small low-overhead business saving both of us money all the way through the pipeline.
And we don’t do gimmicks. No coupons. No loyalty cards. You don’t need to do anything special to get our lowest price. All you get from us is our lowest price because that’s how WE would want to be treated in any other business.
Here’s my cell phone number … 732-861-4701. If you’re interested in saving money on a product that is equal or better than what you are currently using, call me. Or text me. NOW you have a relative in the print cartridge business. I’ll be that Crazy Uncle that everyone talks about at family gatherings.
All I need from you is the model number of your printing device and a way to get back to you with our price. I’ll even tell you how much you would pay for the same cartridge in a Big Box Store (you know the one I mean).
Thanks,
Jim
