Everyday our company receives what I call “Junk Mail” and discount fliers. When I first glance at the discounts they sound great but then I take time to see what it actually says. Just recently I received a plumbing flier that said “save $95 OFF any plumbing installation”. Being that I know what plumbing costs are I call the company. I asked how much it would be to install a new toilet I just purchased. The secretary said it would cost $750 if all the plumbing under the toilet was up to code. I kindly hung up the phone. I then took some time and went online to call some of my competitors. I got prices from $300-1,200 to install my new toilet I just bought.
Later that same day I was thinking how can companies charge so much and how are people willing to pay these steep prices. Our company charges $125-$175 to install a toilet plus parts. The reason these company fliers work is because people don’t know the starting price and they think there getting a great deal.
Bottom line when receiving fliers for great discounts in the mail, always do your due diligence before hiring. Before scheduling an appointment make other calls to the competitors and see if the price is right. First step to saving money is to shop around. Hire Hiawatha Plumbing a local company that’s been around since 1947.
