First off, I hope everyone is healthy and I want to personally thank you all for your support this past 2021. We had a record year and personally my large territory had an incredible sales performance. Especially given all that continues to go on we are really producing huge gains thanks to all your support. I really appreciate all you do for me and our brand. As always if you ever need anything at all please reach out and I will do my best to support you.
Attached you will find a letter in regards to our upcoming price increase on March 1st. Unfortunately, I think right now is just a product of our environment and I am sure you will see similar price increases from many companies in our industry. Parts suppliers continue to have their issues and this impacts what they charge us for our needs. It’s a shame but right now that seems to the concerns that are hurting our industry. Either delays on parts or higher prices on items that are needed just seem to be the situation we are all experiencing. Hopefully this will improve over time but right now it forces us to have to raise our pricing.
I don’t have the pdf price list yet but I should in the coming weeks and I will send that over as soon as I have access to it. The Excel attached does not have costs but will have the new UMRP prices and the model numbers. I can send costs depending on your program just ask me if that is something you need for your business.
Lastly, I know one area that is driving our sales is the fact that we can get you products. Attached are our latest lead times and they continue to improve with most ranges at 3-4 weeks with custom items at 5-6 weeks. Also keep in mind we often have stock on SS units getting you an item in a week or less. You can check with our office sales@bluestarcooking.com or myself as we don’t hold stock but if you request it and need it fast we can often accommodate you depending on our situation.
This will be a difficult year to achieve higher sales then we did during this last record year but hopefully the roll we have been on will continue. Again I can’t thank you enough for your trust in me and our brand.
If you have any questions at all or if you need the cost pricing for your account please just send me a message.
Have a great week and stay warm its super cold out there.
Also I know everyone continues to ask about our DF ranges. As of right now they are still in the prototype phase with my best guess being 3rd to 4th qrt of this year for their release.
