One aspect of our business which is increasing slowly but surely has been local and collected orders.
As well as more and more strongmen training at our strength camp we have also seen an increase in more and more of the local lads getting to know about us and buying our products.
With P&P removed at about £5.00 - £6.00 on a five kilo tub this has meant, in the case of WPC 75 for example, a cost to them of just £28.00, on flavoured WPC five kilos becomes £44.00 and so on. We get the sale, we lose no money (in fact we make more as they don't need a box, tape or packaging material) and they get a bargain.
Some more are looking at selling on to friends and training partners at other gyms where they workout and so sales of 2, 3 and 4 tubs have also started as well as their own single tub orders.
If you are in the area and let us know you're coming you too can save even more! Drop us a line, give us a call - just get in touch and we'll arrange a time for collection.
PS: I even managed to sell some Creatine and WPC 75 to my next door neighbour! He had locked his keys into his car and some of my job 'skills' picked up during a two month stint on a special task a few years ago meant I was able to assist him in opening the car door without said keys. As he used to train in the army and 'does some weights' as he put it now we had already chatted about the growth industry of one-to-one training he wants to get into. While Mike was labelling yesterdays orders I was helping my neighbour and selling whey!
And at a local order price ;D ;D
