Gideon's Pricing
Sunday, June 21, 2009
When I was looking for a home theatre setup I went to Crazy Gideon's. For the setup I was looking at I went the Internet first to check prices. When I got to the store I was amazed to find the prices were actually slightly higher than even the company's prices. In talking to a salesperson he tried this crap about, "Yeah, but you have to pay for shipping." I told him that even with the shipping it's cheaper than what you're asking. It looks like the old "foot-in-the-door" sales pitch: Drop the price (which this salesperson wouldn't do) making the customer think he was getting such a deal and then bring in other items thus pushing the sale up much higher than the customer even considered. But this salesperson wasn't even good at that!
