greyghost Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hennie, not a lot of difference between you and Sportstrition - surely you'd want the sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yup, guess that's true :pfft: she mentioned sportstrition and I thought as we are not advertising this month let me not take the unbiased focus away from them to try and get a sale.Still saying if I had to buy from sportstrition and I had to choose between 2 x ON 5lb or one Scivation 10Lb I would go for ON 5Lb.

diamond Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 LOL. It's supplement site price wars on NZBB.Like i have said before, we will beat any and every price in NZ.At the moment at Shotgun we are doing Inner Armour 10 pound tubs for $ 147 and that's with free shipping anywhere in NZ, even rural delivery addresses. And we ship the day the order gets placed.We never let people place orders online if we don't have the item in stock.If it says it is in stock then it is.So our price works out to be. $ 32.30 a KG.But If i didn't run a site and had to choose one to use it would be Hennie.

It's supplement site price wars on NZBB.Like i have said before, we will beat any and every price in NZ.At the moment at Shotgun we are doing Inner Armour 10 pound tubs for $ 147 .Can you enlighten me and perhaps anyone else the difference between QUAD and WHEY - apart from the container size. QUAD is a good price but I struggled with the actual difference so I left it.It should never be a price war (though the expectation is it'll drive the price down - then no-one wins). We all understand the costs involved with importing and to one of the fartherest reaches of the populated world. We always suffer due to location and population. If the price is right and the products good it'll stand on its own and you'll get the business. Whey powder is such a basic commodity for bb'ers we should get a good deal down here based on volumne.Imagine the price we'd get if all the importers got together and brought in just one brand.

Hennie Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 QUAD is a blend of 4 proteins, not a Whey only blend.Not dissing it ,juts saying it is not a Whey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Can you enlighten me and perhaps anyone else the difference between QUAD and WHEY - apart from the container size. QUAD is a good price but I struggled with the actual difference so I left it.IA Quad is Four (Quad) proteins - whey concentrate, isolate, egg and micellar casein, plus carbs creatine etc and 69%. (breakdown looks almost identical to the NZ made Leppin Pro4 protein that has been around for 5 or 6 years now).IA Whey is pure whey concentrate and a sprinkling of isolate and around >75ish% protein.

Heaps Better, virtually a complete rip off of True mass but half the price. Im using it at the moment, its good shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just remember, if you buy cheap you get cheap.If you are going from a more expensive quality protein to a really cheap one because you want to save money. Your just going to end up throwing it away anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still an expensive way of getting protein but cheaper and better than dymatize super fat gainer. You'd have to be a major hardgaining 50kg flyweight or serious juice boy to need to eat over 1200 cals per meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it a loss leader and do the "Michael Hill" upsell to get sales on the better profit products and form a relationship with the customer to get future sales.Whey protein concentrate is not a basic commodity. Milk and Bread are examples of a basic commodity. You'd go out of business pretty quick running protein as a loss leader. How do you expect to form a relationship if all the customers are after is the lowest price? As soon as the retailer puts the price up or someone else does it cheaper the customer is off looking somewhere else. If someone like yourself has enough time to go through all the online retailers and calculate the price per kilo on all of the different whey proteins (you really should have spent more time factoring in the percentage of protein as well), what kind of relationship have you formed with your current retailer. Have you stuck with the one store even though other stores are cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
