Price Increase Notification from Nostalgic Warehouse
Jul 1, 2019 by Leave a Comment
| Price Increase Notification |
| July 1, 2019 Dear Valued Partner, As many of you are aware, on May 10, 2019, the United States Government raised tariffs an additional 15% on Chinese imports, from the 10% imposed in September 2018 to a total tariff rate increase of 25%. In addition, on June 5, 2019, the U.S. withdrew special duty benefits from India under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for developing nations, effectively reinstating a 5% tariff on products imported from India. A small, but not insignificant, portion of our components are supplied from China. However, the majority of our product components are supplied from our factory in India. To offset the increased costs associated with U.S. Government imposed taxes on imports from India and China, we are forced to increase our prices. It is important that our customers understand this is not a line item increase initiated by Nostalgic Warehouse. Due to the nature of our customer base, which includes eCommerce and Brick and Mortar customers, the only mechanism we have to address these tax increases is to increase prices. We will be implementing a price increase on Nostalgic Warehouse and Grandeur Hardware products effective August 1, 2019. The effective blended price increase is 3.7%, although the percentage varies across product categories. Please click on the links below for our updated Nostalgic Warehouse “Cheat Sheets” with the adjusted pricing. In addition, we will send a PDF of the Nostalgic Warehouse Price Book with updated pricing by August 1, 2019. If you have questions, please reach out to Customer Service at orders@nostalgicwarehouse.com. Should the tariffs on imports from China be rescinded to previous levels and/or GSP benefits be reinstated for Indian imports, Nostalgic Warehouse will, in kind, adjust prices to account for the reduction in costs and, if completely removed, revert to the prices effective on June 30, 2019. Any price reduction will occur within 75 days of the tariff rescission and/or GSP reinstatement. Thank you for your continued support of Nostalgic Warehouse and Grandeur Hardware. We will strive to continue to provide you with the high quality, luxury, and period correct decorative hardware for which Nostalgic Warehouse and Grandeur Hardware are renowned. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to continued success in our relationship. |

Make Them Thirsty!

Sales Tip #447 From The Sales Doctor
Make Them Thirsty!
We’ve all heard the quote “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it.”
Well that also applies to people. You can lead a prospect to your product or service but you can’t make them buy it.
A Salespersons job is not to get the horse to drink the water; it’s to make them thirsty. When you drill down on their problems and uncover all of the pain points, you’ll create such a sense of urgency they can’t wait to purchase your product or service.
Make them thirsty my friends!
