Sliding price scale.

[Earl Smith]

Bit of a daft question but......
I want to advertise for xmas my Mugs on a sliding price scale. Making it more advantageous for the customer to buy a bigger quantity.
But how do you do it?
For example.
1 to 10 mugs at 10€ each
11 to 25 at 8€ each
26 to 50 at 7€ each
51 to 100 at 5€ each
and so on.
But with this you can see the problem. It more advantageous for the customer to buy 55 mugs at 5€ than 50 at 7€ .

How would you do it??

Maybe do 1-10 10€ 11-20 8€ and 20 or more 6€. Keep the options smaller.

i think you should be A LOT more generous.
the marginal cost of the second mug is very little, and it is easier to get bigger sales than more small ones.
we use base 3 - as we get 3 prints to an a4 sheet
1 = $10
3 = $23
6 = $40

carton 36 @ $5 each
72 @ $4 each
108 @ $3 each

Thanks for the ideas but I have to say, you are too generous.
I am going with;
10 for 100€
25 for 200€
50 for 350€
100 for 500€. Prices include Tax at 19%
This worked last year so it should work again.
After each embroidery or print job I give the customer a mug with theirs and my logo on with a flier inside about this special offer. I got three jobs back last year for 100 mugs each and I only started to give then out in December.
I visited the UK last June/July. Everything was much more expensive than over here so why do you do yourselves the injustice and sell your stuff so cheap?

If you are Germany based then you should get more money as they are'nt as price conscious as in the UK.

it does amaze me that European visitors think UK is cheap, - even before devaluation of the £

i guess we think everything is expensive .....thou I don't understand why carriage costs from China can be lower than uk to uk

[Earl Smith]

Id say the opposite. The UK is very expensive, especially comapared to Germany.
Ill give you some examples that I learnt from my last visit home in July.
Diesel UK 1,20GBP , Germany 1,00€ (July)
A ball of Icecream in an ice cafe. 2,50 against 1€.
Food in supermarket I found was about 15% more expensive in the UK.
Eating out; again, 15% more.
Hotels; much much more.
Housing, lets not go there. The UK is almost double german prices.

I think our industry undervalues itsself in the UK. Does a trader in the UK have to register to have a business? If not then anybody can start up in their back bedroom and knock the prices down.
Here it is very difficult to buy without going through an official dealer and to buy from an official dealer you have to be registered and give them your registration details. Most companies/customers want everything above board and with VAT on their invoice. Therefore the prices are more realistic.
