passing on trade discount - TilersForums.com

all depends on the job as deano said above..

domestics is different than commercials, so if i am using my own money and have to wait anything up to 8 weeks to be paid, then this has to be taken into account

domestic customers are different..i try to be as competative and fair in this economic climate as i can. if i can pass all the discount on without that impacting me , then thats my pleasure.. but if i have to do alot of running around or lay out a lot of money upfront, then that has to be taken into consideration, thats only right & fair..but i will always do my very best to give my customers the best possible discount i can and if i can give them all my discounts, i will..

customers are in a great position at the moment, they can pick and choose in this climate, so we have to look after them the best way we can or they'll soon go elsewhere !! you must maintain you quality and be flexible on your discounts imo

Depends on the job, but only a select few get full discount as I get fantastic rates from my supplier.
