!!!!!!!! ARCTIC SPAS !!!!!!!

Oh sure there are dealers that have "free delivery and set up" but that cost is in the price already. It's all about determining your total "cost" which included those things obviously and pricing the spa accordingly. That's what gives you a real profit margin and anyone in business knows this. That's pretty basic stuff so it sounds a lil fishy to me...

Local AS dealer closing doors. I am thinking about picking up line and dropping clearwater. Lookoing for info on how AS treats dealers, IE warranty, RMA ect.

Any reason why you can't carry both Clearwater and Arctic?

We all ready have D-1 and Marquis, Haven't been real happy with clearwater. relly the only reason I had them on the floor was to show the customers that were shopping non-ff competitors. we would show them a clearwater tell them why it was better than our competitors, and oh btw, this marquis is even better , this is why.

Beachcomber policy is 30 days, if you want to upgrade the entire tub or just change out the jets you have 30 days to try it out and return it.

[East_TX_Spa]

Yep, we do the same thing.  I do welcome anyone who wants to wet test as well.  Few people do, especially the hotties.  Only fat folks like me.

I understand now.  Carrying four manufacturers would be much.  I would guess that adding Arctic would be a nice addition.

I am assuming you also carry the @home from D1 and the Everyday from Marquis so you have price point tubs? Because with Arctic you won't be helping that unless you bring in some Cubs.

I think you would be happy with the programs that Beachcomber offers.
Keith Scott runs a great company and builds a very durable and comfortable tub. They build a program to sell through the dealer and not just to the dealer. So they don't try to load up your warehouse.

That maybe true     but you have to rember one thing that is a Beachcomber no no
they heavily frown upon dealers that carry more than one line of tub.
Fact is they dropped around 35 dealers or vice versa in the US for having 2 lines
why do you think there was a mass exodus in Ontario last year when dealers saw the margins they could get with other top brands after the factory strike ordeal 2 yrs ago


and your welcome for the new step design

[In_Too_Long]

You know that is right. Since then the person in charge of the United States market is gone. Things are different now. What would it hurt to inquire?

[Pathfinder]

Thats true

[loosenupspas]

AS......I have heard from other dealers is a very difficult company to work with particularly in the tech support area.  I during homeshows your inventory has to be all AS or they are very disapproving.  

[MarKee]

How can you convince a customer that your spa is the best if you carry multiple lines?

[hottubdan]

If I am in a multiple line store, its all about choice.
