Amazon.com
Easy Ups

$31.20
Amazon.com is 37% cheaper than Quixtar
That does not seem like a big difference, but expanded out, look at what that means in terms of company profit.
PER MONTH DATA
Quixtar
1,000 diaper purchases
1,000 X $40.99 = $40,990
1,000 steppin up purchases
1,000 X $42.99 = $42,990
total per one month: $83,980
Amazon.com
1,000 diaper purchases
1,000 X $27.60 = $27,600
1,000 steppin up purchases
1,000 X $31.20 = $31,200
total per one month: $58,800
In one month that is a difference in profit of $25,180.
Quixtar by charging only that minimal increase(compared to some of the other differences I've shown on QLMC.) of 46% and 37% over the Amazon product is pulling in a $25, 180 profit on diapers ALONE. Never mind the hundreds upon hundreds of purchases that are being made at 200% and 300% increases.
Don't fool yourself. Even at 46% price inflation, Quixtar is taking a HUGE profit in ever single purchase made online. Every single purchase is pulling in thousands and thousands of dollars in profit that Quixtar could be doing 2 things with:
1. Sharing more with its IBO's.
2. LOWERING PRICES!
Imagine if Quixtar had diapers priced competitively.
Imagine if you could get more people to buy diapers.
Here is what that would look like:
2,000 diaper purchases at $27.60 = $55,200
2.000 steppin up purchases at $31.20 = $62,400
That would bring in an amount of: $117,600
LOWER PRICES BRINGS IN MORE PURCHASES WHICH CREATES MORE PROFIT!
Lower prices = more purchases which = greater profit.
Lower prices = more purchases which = greater profit.
Lower prices = more purchases which = greater profit.
Lower prices = more purchases which = greater profit.

Being Competitive
Hurting Inside makes an excellent point. In order to be and stay competitive a company has to be willing to change with the market.
That is a point TEAM has stressed over and over.....CHANGE is the only constant. Thanks for the info!
That is a point TEAM has stressed over and over.....CHANGE is the only constant. Thanks for the info!
The bottom line:
I went online to buy energy drinks. I heard they were good. I liked the price. I thought the shipping was fair. I BOUGHT THEM.
My point:
1. No customer service rep had to sit next to me and hold my hand while she convinced me of the the true nature of their vitamin content. And that it truly was superior to all the rest who were just saying that had vitamins, but truly they were just filled with garbage vitamins. That would take a seminar to learn all about that.
2. No customer service rep had to sit next to me and tell me how if I got 10 other people to buy this stuff then the price would actually be fine because of the profit I made back on those 10 other people would offset the high price I had to pay up front. (except....I DIDN'T want to pay the extra money.....how on earth was I going to find 10 people who did?????)
3. No customer service rep had to sit next to me and convince me that I was buying a higher quality product, not just an average product, which justified the 200% mark up.
No convincing needed. The price was fair. The shipping was fair. I bought the product.
That is what QLMC is all about. Fair prices.
Why Fair prices?
1. Fair prices don't need a song and dance and a fancy approach. They are fair.
2. Fair prices will attract EVERYONE. Not just some. Not just those who have a dream and will buy the stuff for the "dream". If you have a dream.....you'll build a big business with some who will also build a big business and lots and lots of people who will just buy your fair-priced products.
3. Fair prices allow you to gather MANY customers who like your prices. Can you imagine having 30 multivitamin customers per month? With the Quixtar marketing plan that would equate to 200 pv! With FAIR pricing and fair shipping (which I think Quixtar has except for those weird paper product extra charges) that would be EASY!
4. Fair prices allow you to grow a business FAST. Profitability in months not years. (and when I say years.....I mean I've heard of people sticking around for YEARS!)
That's all I want: Fair prices. Seems like their are a lot of companies doing just fine offering the customer a good quality product at fair prices. I haven't seen a Wal Mart or a Target or a Kohl's out of business ever. They are PACKED every time I go in there. In fact.....I would venture a guess that they make a lot of money offering FAIR and sometimes even give away prices! And yet, they have people coming by the THOUSANDS. No one would ever have to convince you to buy something from Target. In fact, I think most people have to convince themselves to STOP buying soooo much at Target. (ladies, am I right, or what?!!)
Bottom line:
Quixtar does not have fair prices for their products. In my opinion they are charging unjustified inflated prices for their products. In my opinion, shopping from Quixtar will cause you to lose your cents.

All right, I'll admit it, I LOVE lip gloss. And I have used them all. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE from Artistry to the brands you see here. IN FACT, I prefer Covergirl, Maybelline and Revolon hands down over Artistry! Artistry lip gloss is not a superior product and yet again, they are OVERPRICED from all the other brands.
I could not compare Artistry with the last 3 brands in a fair way since I could not find out the ounce per dollar ratio. But, if any of you have the 3 products at home and would share that with me, I'd be happy to compare them!
Go get some shinny Christmas lips for yourself and SAVE SOME MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now B-50 Vitamin Complex would be $16.80 for 300
comparing same quantities
Now B-50 is 99% cheaper than Nutrilite
Now B-50 is $16.70 cheaper than Nutrilite
**however, in light of the nutritional values with Now B-50 at 1 tablet per day and Nutrilite being 3 tablets per day, and with Now B-50 having more supplement per ingredient we can fairly compare them without changing the price to reflect the same quantity.
Therefore:
Now B-50 is 493% cheaper than Nutrilite
Now B-50 is $27.85 cheaper than Nutrilite
GNC VS. Nutrilite
GNC Vitamin Complex would be $20.70 for 300

**however, in light of the nutritional values with Natrol at 1 tablet per day and Nutrilite being 3 tablets per day, and with Natrol having more supplement per ingredient THAN ANY OTHER COMPARISON PRODUCT we can fairly compare them without changing the price to reflect the same quantity.
Therefore:
Natrol is 173% cheaper than Nutrilite
Natrol is $21.21 cheaper than Nutrilite
I think it would be fair to go even further to change the Natrol to 50 tablets so it would then be equal in supplement value to our other comparison products and find that
Natrol is really 458% cheaper than Nutrilite
Natrol is really $27.50 cheaper than Nutrilite
What I find to be interesting is that all 3 comparison models. when Natrol is taken down to 50 tablets to compare fairly, are all very similarly priced. It seems that would be a fair market price for a B complex vitamin.
What I also find to be interesting is the low value of the supplement ingredients in the Nutrilite brand. I am only reporting what the Consumer Lab tested the Nutrilite product to contain.
It seems to me that Quixtar could conduct its own market analysis and find proper price ranges for their products. It seems to me that Quixtar is not conducting any market analysis to find proper ranges for their product pricing. It seems to me that would go against any business marketing principle that would be taught at any local junior college.

It is sad that some items, like XS, were once fairly priced when they came out. But as the market changed and adapted and similar products continue to decrease in price, the Amway products (like XS) remained the same price and thus became unreasonable again.
This happened rather quickly for XS too, which is $2.00/8oz or $2.50/8oz if you factor in shipping.
Now, I am BY NO MEANS saying RedBull is a comparable product, but it is still the most popular product of that category, and it was comparable price wise when XS came out.
Now RedBull can be bought for around $1.50/8oz and I was still paying $2.50 for an XS.
