Also, as an added incentive to buy, is to credit the rental fee towards the purchase of a new unit after the trial period ends. Most folks would probably consider $70.00/wk a reasonable price if shipping/handling/insurance is included. You can even include a prepaid return label via UPS, FedEx, or whatever shipping method your company prefers.
To start with, it is way to much work to buy a brand new GPS unit to rent out and load maps for customers, the labor cost alone will be more then the $70 that we will be charging.
Second,
I sell these on the FJR forum at my cost, so if I credit the $70 rental fee towards the unit, it will be a double negative, I will be losing even more of my employees time that can be better spent selling for profit.
Third, to have prepaid return shipping box etc cost even cost more and the insurance cost to make sure the unit will be ship back in one piece.
If I was to offer a rental option, I don't think I can offer the at cost benifit to the forum.
I am trying to offer a at cost benifit without taking to much time out of my staff, so if I have to buy a new GPS unit, rent it out and credit the rental towards the purchase of a new unit at cost, have my employee process all the paper work would be more then I am willing to offer.
I am waiting for some other vendor to offer their service and products at their cost, I doubt there is anyone else that is willing to work for free.
If you have time, I need you to come over and wash my car and clean my carpets, and since we both own a FJR, maybe you can come over and provide the service free and if I don't like what you did, you can credit me towards the work you have perform so I can pay someone else to redo what you didn't get done.
Just trying to make a joke out of all this.
:haha:
Thanks for understanding.
