Rarely do I post on this blog a bunch of “RA RA RA–Shavers.com is the best!” type of rhetoric, and I am keeping that firmly
in mind when writing this post. So at the risk of teetering over that impartial fence, I write: What the heck do the troubles
on Wall Street have to do with shaving on main street?
Ultimately the simple fact of the matter is that everyone is going to have a crappy holiday season–buyers and sellers alike.
The goal here, as far as sellers should be concerned, is to get the shoppers the best deal possible for each and every red cent
they drop out of an ever tightening wallet.
So what are we going to do about this dilemma? Shavers.com Holiday policy of the past was to simply go head to head in a price
war with competitors and set the prices that everyone else would either emulate or try to undercut in order to stay competitive
with us. Will that change this year? In some cases not, but in most cases, it has to. Shavers.com has no interest in cheapening
any manufacturer brand by selling items as lost leaders to bring you in and then wallop you with astronomical shipping costs or
piecemeal pricing where you buy the shaver at cost but then pay 40% over retail for the parts and accessories. No, folks, that
is not how we work.
The parent company of Shavers.com went into the shaver business in 1957. We took it to the internet in 1995. We’re still going
strong in 2008. You don’t get our track record or reputation by playing games with customers. We will offer fair, honest, highly
competitive prices on all the products we sell with the understanding that our customers expect our knowledge and service to be
at their beck and call. No one stands behind products like we do and no one knows more about the products we sell. When was the
last time that customer service reps from Braun and Remington called Amazon for information on discontinued shaver parts? Never,
but they sure call us, and that we can guarantee.
The holidays may be rough for everyone this year but if an electric shaver is on your list then it’s not only price that you
should be concerned with. Price, service, knowledge and longevity should all be factors to consider in tough economic times where
no decision should be taken lightly. Buy for the long term and consider no income to be disposable, even when buying an electric
shaver.
