| To Understand our pricing, please read this:
We give the largest discounts in the industry.
For instance; Our cover upgrade is the highest level of
construction today in an upgraded cover. It is a 2 pound density foam;
eight locking tie-downs for safety and wind; 5 inch split skirt
so the acrylic doesn't bake; the highest grade of marine vinyl; 4
inch to 2 inch tapered runoff ; galvanized steel inserted channel
for strength; zippered shell so you can remove the core; all high
tensile strength stitching; gazebo handles so you can operate the
cover from inside the spa. It
is a $499.00 cover and with the package it is $366.75 (upgrade $180)
(27% discount) including shipping. In my opinion from all the research
I do, it is the best value for your hard earned money. There are
better covers, but they are not *that* much better for the extra
cost.
With care it will last 7 to 10 years. The standard cover is just
that,
standard and good quality.
All the other items are greatly discounted along with the spa.
You save between $300 to $600 just on the basic accessories.
When you go into most spa stores, the "concept" is this: (This
was told to me by someone with 16 yr. in the business)
The idea is to sell the spa with a minimal package and the
most
profit. The novice spa customers have no idea what they need or want
with
the spa, because they are relying on the spa salesperson to tell
them.
So to get the most profit, you sell the average spa for $7500 with a
cheaper cover, startup kit ( that lasts about a week ),( The video
saves the salesman from having to know anything about water chemistry,
supposedly), maybe a
cheap ozonator and delivery. (If you want that we can offer it that
way,
but still at a much greater discount)
Some companies just set the spa down and leave. ( We can do
that if you want, but we want our service to be complete. Details
)
So after you assemble the spa fill it and get it going, in
about a week you are out of chemicals. (There is always one chemical
set to last one week). This forces you back into the store to get the
"rest
of the spa".
After you see the cover lift, the steps, the thermal blanket, the
ionizer, and whatever else was left off, you pay full retail and full
cost for any labor or go away. The upgraded cover comes in about two
years after the lightweight one wears out.
This is what the expert told me: "The customer's wallet is
open
to you, and you have developed a level of trust, so when they come in
it
is easy to get the accessories sold at full retail."
When the new spa owner brags about his spa, he says " I got it
for only $7500, and it was a good deal"
Except that he was about $2000 shy on the things he needs to make the
spa work well and services to insure it was set up correctly. Sure you
can go and buy each item on a special discount if you search and search
to find the same prices.
There was a fellow who bought a Sundance spa five years ago
and found my site after he purchased the spa. (Not a good idea to read
my site then.) He wasted much of his waking hours trying to find
something wrong with our deal. He came up with the Super Lift 2 for
$199 at some internet store. Ours was, at that time $209. This included
the installation of $48. So I wrote on the Bulletin Board: "Was that
199 including
installation?" That was the last time he gave me problems.
There is absolutely nothing in our accessories, services, and
supplies that you do not need or really want. If there is any part you
do not want, then take it off at the discounted price.
We started doing the absolute complete package when I
sold a spa to a lady in Louisiana. She had a car accident and needed
therapy for her knee really bad. Driving a car was painful for her and
the ride to the nearest spa dealer was over 1 hour to pay full
retail.
We decided that it is more important to have satisfied
customers, rather than to make more money on the accessories and
services. Since most of our customers are not likely
to come into our store to buy accessories, because most of our
customers are out of state, there really was no reason to limit
the package.
When someone tells me that our prices are high, they need to
understand the whole deal. The average dealer is making about $550 more
on an inferior spa and $500 more on the accessories after the
sale.
Most times we don't see or hear from out customers for 6
months, when they need some shock.
So when someone tells you that they got the deal of the
century
on some $8999 spa for 8395, you need to look at the whole deal.
