Welcome to our forum.
Wow... i hope all the Vita Spa employees can find work and hope no one else is next.Times are tough.In my industry our major clients are calling us, asking for a meeting,and then basically telling us "we are laying people off and asking all of our vendors for a 10% cost reduction and if you can't immediately do that we have to open up the bidding process". Tough news when your business is already down 20% and then get asked for a 10% price reduction.
Funny...I said this was happening over a month ago and everyone thought I was loopy...I said TM was about to take a dive and no one belived that either.Just hope the season kicks into high gear soon!I think DM can pull it out, they used to have some pretty deep pockets.
Hello all,With times being what they are right now it seems to me that spa manufacture that have over extended themselves won't be here much longer. The only people that get hurt are the people that trusted them and was thinking they were getting a good deal for cheep. Costco and home depot don't help much you have to agree that is the sign of death being there. How sound is the company your buying from right now and will they be here a year from now?Their are spa company flying under the radar that are doing very well and owe nobody but they do not floor product but will be here 5 years from now because they owe no one. My guess is check them out and see how they can help you as a dealer.
So, which company are you promoting talking about?
Columbia spas eh? I cant see how they dont floor models with their innovative cookie cutter molds. If they are around in 5 years I think it would be only because the owner has money to burn.
