OK everyone, here is what we have so far:
Scrambler 2-1 High Version: Est. 2007 Retail $1.049.95
Bonneville 2-1 Cross Version: Est 2007 Retail $979.95
Bonneville 2-1 Low Version: Est 2007 Retail $999.95
So here is what I have gotten them to agree to:
1) VERY limited time only, orders must be placed with us before the ending date, which they are telling me will be BEFORE the end of the year. No specific date, just when they decide they have sold enough to have "primed the pump" and it is time to get the dealers back on with us.
2) Inventory is due to arrive mid to late January, we will keep you informed
3) We will give 7 days notice to the end of the sale so everyone needs to keep an eye on this thread if you are holding out.
4) There is to be no whinning after the boss says to push the prices back to retail. :-D Sorry, it is a limited time offer and we have to get our dealers back in the game for the season.
What I convinced them of is that we can spend lots of money on advertising and marketing, or we can just give customers the discount and let THEM tell everyone about the product.
If it works right, some people up here will get VERY good deals on a VERY good product. In return, they will say what they wish, which we are hoping is all positive and wonderful. This will give us more "real" marketing then any ad is capable of, and there is nothing better then the personal testimonial.
We get the Scrambler product line up and running with customers BEFORE Spring arrives, thus customers will already be talking about Zard when season hits, meaning we can sell them LOTS of stuff at regular prices. Which is an additional bonus to our retailers, they have a product which customers are already asking for, which is the best advertising money can buy.
Lastly, any issues, fitments to accessories (rearsets, sound issues, installation tips, etc) can be worked out here in the off season, again helping Triumph riders and Zard with any details or questions that people have.
We help you, you help us, everyone is happy...
So here we go:
Scrambler 2-1 High Version: Holiday Sale $769.95
Scrambler 2-1 Cross Version: Holiday Sale $679.95
Scrambler 2-1 Low Version: Holiday Sale $699.95
Prices do not include shipping, we are in Chicago so UPS Ground to most places in America will be around $25...?
Hope you understand and like what we have done here, maybe the Internet can start a whole new way for products and customers to meet up...
Let me know if you have any questions.
