I've been in the retail automobile business for over forty years. While I realize that the two businesses are different, if we treat all of our potential customers with courtesy and respect we might have a chance to earn their business. While I realize that not every looker can afford to buy something he may have an interest in, we try to offer guidance and information too all who come to our dealership. No, we don't let every Tom , Dick, and Harry drive a Charger R/T, but you'd be amazed when treated well how many come back and do business with us, or at least give us an opportunity. They might even recommend a friend or relative give us an opportunity too! Business is hard enough today without having a bad reputation. Then you don't have a chance in hell to be successful.
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
I Saw a pair of pre-owned tube monoblocs for sale on an onlline forum for around $17k.
The seller has a retail store for hiigh end audio. The seller mentioned that there will be an up-front fee for the demo if a prospect comes to the store the amps are not purchased. The demo fee may also be used for credit towards any purchase in the store.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this. Is this now a common occurance in high end audio stores? I sent a note to the seller asking what the demo fee amount was....two weeks and I didn’t get a response.
Does anyone know what amount of fees are charged for a demo?
