Welcome to our forum.
Most of the tubs were outside - CalSpa was inside. ...Rain is predicted all weekend...
Why don't you do shows??
Maybe they're afraid their product will get wet....?
Oh, waitaminute, you're a HS dealer. I hear you guys are all boy scouts.
You guys who saw Cal Spa at the home show - was it a local dealer or the company road show?
You know, I used to believe that. Then you showed on the forum.....
Cost is huge - results poor. My joke is that it's easy to make a small fortune at a home show, you just start with a large fortune. Also- folks tend to expect a 'deal.' I have tried hackin' a couple of hundred off the regular price, adding a cover lift, step, ozone and extra-large chems, but folks seemed to walk away and buy accross the isle where they are told "Two thousand off our already low prices."I never could bring myself to drop the prices at a show when my regular customers trusted me to give THEM a good price in the showroom. I always did offer a discount on the show models - the actual, scratched, kicked, sat-in, sometimes wet displayed tubs from the show, and I usually sold just those.Other than that, I was gaining weight eating the kettle corn and fried twinkies.
.D1put their slab-topped white tubs in the front row. Ugly.
