How to Negotiate Like a Pro - Questions to Ask to Get a Better Deal

In this economy everyone wants to negotiate or haggle for the best deal. I have compiled a list of questions to ask when you are trying to negotiate a better price or deal. If one of these questions does not elicit any response, try another. Be persistent.

Here are the questions:

1. What is the best you can do?

Sometimes there is usually what I call "wiggle room" built-in on the price of the item. It does not hurt to ask even in places where you don't think you can get a discount.

2. Is this the lowest price?

This sounds like question 1 but is a little different. If one does not work, try this question to see if you get a response.

3. What is the lowest price if I buy 2?, 5? or 10?

Try buying in bulk. This can make a big difference.

4. What if I pick up the item?

This can save them considerable expense especially if free shipping is offered.

5. Can you give me a discount since it is chipped, damaged, or a floor model?

Often a damaged item is very hard to sell so a seller may be glad to get this sold even at a reduced price.

6. Since you are already in the neighborhood, can you mow my lawn, too?

Seize on an opportunity if a worker that you need is already doing a similar job in the neighborhood. The convenience may allow the seller to give you a large discount. Remember time is money if he is already in the neighborhood.

7. Are you willing to barter?

I am a carpenter, massage therapist, piano teacher, and I am willing to trade my services for yours.

8. Are you willing to do a trade?

I will give you this if you give me that.

9. Is there going to be a sale? Is this on sale?

If there is going to be a sale in the near future, the seller may give you the sales price now or allow you to come back with your receipts during the sale and get the discount then.

10. Why don't you give me a discount and you won't have to carry this heavy item home?

Especially at the end of the day at an antiques fair, where the packing up can me a hastle, it might be an attractive offer to sell an item today and not have to keep shlepping it.

11. Can you give me an upgrade?

If you get bad service, especially in a hotel or with the airlines, ask for an upgrade or free stay or flight. Some companies are really into customer service and may give you something for your inconvenience. Even if you didn't get bad service, explain that you have special needs and ask for them to help you.

12. Can I have a free refill or a free sampler?

Once you are in a restaurant, ask for a free refill for your drink. Ask for a free dessert sample. Ask for three for the price of two.

13. Can you throw something extra into the deal?

If you are getting a high ticket item, ask for something else to be thrown in. For example if you get a sofa, ask for some free pillows. If you get the expensive necklace, ask for the earrings free. You get the idea.

14. Do you do layaway?

Layaway is something that people may consider very archaic, something that is no longer fashionable. However, layaway may be the new credit card. It is a way to get something you want but can't pay for at this time without paying any interest fees. Generally a fee is paid to hold the item. Even if not advertised, ask for it anyway.

Once you start thinking about getting a better deal, the questions are endless. Don't give up. Keeping trying.

Tire Reviews and Buying Tires

American tire consumers can easily shop low prices when buying tires and auto care services. The Internet is a great place for consumers to get tire coupons, oil change coupons and automotive part rebates. However, consumers don't have to trade quality and customer service at the expense of saving money.

The Internet offers consumers impartial community testimonials, tire reviews, product and service reviews to help make the best decision for a vehicle and the needs of consumers. Moreover, the Internet provides consumers with tire reviews from other consumers who have bought tires, automotive products and auto services. The Internet also offers the consumer a way to engage with tire retailers and businesses who are listening. Tire retailers are providing customer service and communicating via more valuable social media tools today than ever before.

The increased listening, communication and accumulation of shared information or "Crowdsourcing" provides consumers with the ability to find trusted information on something like "buying tires" that traditionally came from only a smaller controlled group or an employee at a tire retailer. Instead, it is sourced by a community, who provides contributions based on having already bought the tires they are reviewing.

Niche websites like AskPatty.com have community functions for consumers to find and share information. Business Week reports over 80 percent of the buying decisions in U.S. households today are made by women. Other reports and statements show statistically women buy more passenger tires than men.

Buying tires is generally not an extremely exciting purchase for consumers to talk about. Tires usually come in one color, black. Anyone who owns a vehicle needs tires. However, these consumers want to know about certain attributes, such as ride comfort, handling, traction that consumers are discussing and they are sharing their opinions with other consumers.

The Internet provides a diverse approach for consumers to find viable information today to make the best decision when buying tires from tire retailers. However, the fact that the Internet provides the means for consumers to share this meaningful information with one another is powerful.

Understanding consumer feedback and marketing research both online and offline today is critical, especially in our high tech "mobile" society. All customers have a voice, needs and expectations. These days, tire retailers are listening and reaching out to their customers in better ways to exceed their expectations, thanks to social media.

Tire retailers and local car care centers cater to their diverse audiences and are providing a better customer service experience for all. Whether the customer is buying tires or replacing wiper blades, it is great when the voice of the customer is heard, understood and embraced. The Internet has have developed more comprehensive solutions for engaging, sharing information, advertising and retaining customers. Listening, sharing relevant information and appealing to individual customer needs is critical to provide the best experience for all customers.

Tire retailers and car care centers are adapting with rapidly changing times and listen to their diverse customer base taking the initiative to communicate more effectively. In today's high tech fast paced world, consumers can feel comfortable when taking their cars in for service or buying tires.

Promotional Products - Seeking the Lowest Price Can Be Very Costly

Are you the type of promotional product buyer that always looks for the best price and thinks you got the best deal? Do you scour the internet for ads looking for the" guaranteed best price". Then, do you go out and get multiple quotes from numerous suppliers and take time to compare them so that you get the "best price". Finally, after all that work you probably feel great having squeezed that last penny out of the market through this intense effort to save your company money. What an accomplishment and achievement in cost savings. Or is it? Actually if you are one of these buyers in essence or merely a hybrid of the type, you will be shocked to realize that you probably did not get the best deal for your company. Price is only part of the story in getting the best deal when buying promotional products or promotional gifts. There is something more important than just price if you really want the best deal when buying promotional products. It is called value. But value and price are same thing right? No, price is only one part of the equation that makes up value. That is why no matter whether you think you got the best price, if that was your sole and overwhelming goal, you probably did not get the best value and thus you did not get the best deal for your company.

To get a better understanding of this important distinction let's explore these two terms: value and price as they apply to purchasing promotional products. We will start off with my explanation that price is only one component of value. What are some of the other possible components when seeking out the best value that might make your "guaranteed best price" adventure not seem like such a good deal for your company after all. There can be numerous things that comprise a great value in buying promotional products. But here are three important basics that should be the part of any value consideration: service, creativity, trust and product quality. Remember all that work that you did looking through catalogs, both paper and electronic, to find the best product at the lowest price. It was a waste of yours and the company's time and money. Sure you can do some looking and browsing doing some brainstorming for some semblance of ideas for a promotion but anymore than that is a waste. A really experienced marketing professional promotional product supplier, not a customer service or account manager from some online website with their "guaranteed lowest price offer" peddling the cheapest pen or plastic product, can provide you with the creative product ideas from quality manufacturers that you seek for your promotion. Moreover the good companies will not even charge you for this valuable service. Now keep in mind I am talking about professionals who will ask you important questions about your company's promotion such as: what are your goals for the promotion? Who is your target audience for the promotion? How will the promotional products be distributed and on and on? If they just ask you questions about quantity and price per product they aren't marketing experts like so many online web company's with their "guaranteed best price" claim to be. More likely they are just customer service representatives peddling the latest chachka with no real understanding of your promotion or marketing needs necessary to make it a success.

A good creative promotional product supplier has the search technology to enable him or her to utilize their marketing experience and knowledge, along with the information you provide them from their questions about your promotion, to quickly identify the optimum product or products to achieve your promotional goals. Moreover, they will seek to find that product that will get you the best return on your marketing investment. You need only refer to a previous article I wrote: "Super Promotional Products-The Multiplier Effect" to realize that all promotional products are not created equal. In that article, I use the example of a client who insists on giving out some inexpensive items like pens at a trade show which are one dimensional promotional products in nature in that they generally only influence the recipient of the promotional giveaways. However, I went on to point out in the article that if the company had chosen to give out say a custom imprinted tote bag with their company logo and booth number imprinted on it that it would be seen by many attendees of the trade show and thus drive traffic to the company's booth. This kind of choice in promotional products produces a far greater return on investment than the other one dimensional type of products like say a pen. This is an example where a knowledgeable promotional product professional can really drive the value of a promotional product choice. Get in touch with a good promotional product marketing consultant and he will show the way to finding true value which is always better than the " guaranteed best price".

Bulk Printing to Save Money on Flyers

If you are looking to save money on flyers there are several ways in which you can do it but one of the best options for saving money and making every penny count is by using bulk printing services to gain yourself a healthy bulk discount on your orders. Bulk printing may seem like you have to put more money into advertising at first but you will quickly use up your flyers and need more so take advantage of the money saving bulk printing discounts from the start. To help you afford a large preliminary bulk order here are some money saving ideas on other areas of printing so you can earn that extra bulk discount:

1. Order your flyers well in advance of the event so you can take advantage of an extra low shipping cost and not worry about when the flyers will arrive. Shipping costs will be much lower for your bulk printing order if you do not choose any expensive overnight or first class deliver options. Choose the lowest option with the longest waiting time and make sure you order well in advance to get the cheapest delivery charge.

2. Plan your event carefully to avoid printing mistakes, design problems, event detail changes and more that can delay printing and cause reprints that will cost you more money. Planning in advance also gives you the extra time to save up so you can get your hands on the bulk orders and bulk order discounts.

3. Use a freelance designer for your menu design rather than a design company. This will reduce the cost of your menu design by a little to a lot depending on who you get for the job. Generally speaking you shouldn't expect a massive reduction in cost for high quality effective design and advertising work but you might even get lucky with an up and coming high quality designer who is willing to reduce their rates to expand their portfolio. In these cases you should ask to see examples of previous work or a concept design for your own menu or flyer design beforehand.

There are many other tips and tricks to stretch your advertising budget as well but these are the main methods of saving money on flyer printing including bulk printing discounts. You can make every flyer count to maximize the usefulness and effectiveness of your bulk printing job too which will mean you make enough profits from the bulk printing flyers to earn yourself a second round of bulk printing by the time your other one is running low enough to warrant one. 

By using effective distribution methods for your flyers you can make every single flyer count and maximize the potential customers who receive one. This in turn will turn potential customers into actual customers with a very high conversion rate as flyer printing remains one of the most effective advertising tools in use today. Adding bulk printing jobs to your order will ensure you don't get caught out and lose customers when you have no flyers to offer.

Spike the Ultra Dinosaur Review - Will He Roar His Way Into Your Household?

Spike The Ultra Dinosaur is the latest in the line of Imaginext toys from Fisher Price. There seems to be a new robotic dino toy out every day - is this one the best option? Weighing the pros and cons of this toy should help, as well as finding a great discount.

Cons To Getting The Ultra Dino

Spike isn't quite as advanced as some of the other dino-bots out there, like Pleo. He does less and probably has less 'artificial intelligence' than some of the toys that are more expensive. If you're looking for a dino that is practically real, you might want to look elsewhere.

Another possible con to Spike is that he is quite large! He's not so large that your little ones can't pick him up and play with him, but he is probably too large to take along in car rides. If you would rather have a 'pocket-sized' dino, this one is not for you.

Pros to Getting Spike the Ultra Dinosaur

There are quite a few pros to getting this fun pet dinosaur! For one thing, he is very kid-friendly. Spike comes with a wireless controller that has big buttons that are labeled for easy use. At 27 inches tall, the dino himself is also large enough that you won't have to worry that he's going to get lost in the shuffle.

A huge benefit to this Ultra Dino over some of the other ones on the market is that he is priced relatively low. While some similar toys cost in the $300-$400 range, Spike is more than half of that price. This is great if you're on a budget, or just can't see yourself spending so much on a toy.

Finally, Spike comes with plenty of features your little one will really enjoy. He has a playful personality, can walk around, throw his boulders, makes many awesome dino sounds and has many sensors on his body so he can react accordingly. He is also very durable, so your little rough-houser will love Spike the Ultra Dinosaur.

Of course, you never want to pay full price for any toy. Spike the Ultra Dinosaur is in such high demand that it can be hard to find him much less at a low enough price!

Thankfully, we've done the research reveal the LOWEST price we found at http://ultradino.com so you can save a lot of money on this fun dino. You'll also find full product details and an extensive list of features you can expect.

The Savvy Shopper's Guide - Lowest Price Online Shopping For Hot Gift Items

If you're going to be a savvy online shopper, finding the lowest price for hot gift items is going to require a little work - but it's worth it. Here are some quick tips to improve your online shopping skills and to empower you to find those low prices you've been dreaming about!

Find Quality Products

Search for the brand names you trust before considering prices. The reason for doing this is you'll still want excellent quality even if the price is low. Searching for a low price only may result in getting a low-quality product. You're only wasting your time and money when buying items of poor quality. This is especially true with high-ticket gift items in electronics, games and toys, sporting goods, luggage and computers.

Shopping at Small Online Stores Versus Online Shopping Malls

Both small online stores and online shopping malls have their advantages and disadvantages. At small Web stores, you can usually enjoy a more personal shopping experience and find specialty items that you might not find anywhere else, online or off. However, these types of stores are usually limited in what they offer, and they might only focus on one particular type of product. These tend to be higher-priced on gift items as well.

At online shopping malls, the experience is more similar to that of shopping at large department store. You have a variety of categories to choose from, and can usually get items at a low price. These "low price" online shopping malls are great when you need to buy several gift items at once. They usually offer a wide selection of housewares, electronics, giftware, games and toys, headsets & phones, fragrances, candles, lingerie items, and much more.

A disadvantage of using a mall is you may not always find the brand name you're looking for, but a similar one is usually available. Also, you should check to be sure the items will be shipped quickly enough to give the gift to your loved one. Some online malls use international distributors or manufacturers to ship items, so be informed before you buy.

*Extra Tip: No matter where you shop, look for sales and bargains over the holidays to get the lowest prices while shopping online!

Use the Power of the Search

Finding the lowest price is easier than ever once you learn to use the "power of the search!" The Internet is built on searches, but millions of people still do not understand "how" to search for what they want. You can start with major search engines, and type in specific items or brand names you want to buy. Be very specific at the start. Then, if you are unable to find the specific item, do general searches.

For example, you might type in the search phrase "15-inch Magnavox PC Monitor" for starters, but then a more general term such as "magnavox monitors" if you are unable to find it on your first search. If you find an online shopping mall that you feel comfortable with, you can do searches within the mall to save time. Then, you can compare brand names and prices right there to find the best gift items available at the lowest prices.

Use this guide to become a savvy online shopper, and find all the hot gift items you need at the lowest prices possible!

Murals Give Parties Depth

Decorating for a party can be a tricky and complicated task; murals provide quick cover and are great ways to cover a lot of space in a little amount of time.

For theme parties, choosing murals to decorate the walls is a terrific way to lift the atmosphere for any party. After your theme and party location has been established it's time to start thinking of decorations. Maybe your party will be thrown at a banquet hall that is outdated. Perhaps you'll be throwing a luau in a basement, either way murals are handy tools to spruce up the decorations at your gathering.

Murals can be found at almost any discount, closeout, party supply or party outlet store. When picking up the party kit or plates, cups and napkins make sure to keep an eye out for murals that match the theme. These plastic wall hangings can bring in the tropical jungle for a luau or the inside of a baseball stadium for a baseball party.

Murals do take up a lot of wall space which will be handy for covering up a bland wall. Seeing as though they do utilize wall space murals cover the most wall space for the lowest price, making them an inexpensive alternative to buying a variety of decorations.

Keep in mind that murals are made for several themes, but if you go for a mainstream and popular theme then the odds are with you that a party kit exists nearby. It's just too bad that buying the present isn't this easy!

How to Negotiate Prices With Any Seller, and Get the Lowest Prices Possible!

One of the best things about shopping in flea markets and stalls is that you can actually haggle with the sellers. There is no fixed price for an item. You can either get twenty bucks more or twenty bucks less for a cool shirt. As long as you know how to negotiate prices, you'll be able to make the most of your hard-earned money.

The question is, how exactly do you go about doing that? Well, don't worry too much. Learning how to negotiate prices is not hard. It only takes a bit of confidence and charm to win vendors over.

Lower Your Price.

Never give away how much you're actually willing to pay. Haggle with a price that is actually much smaller and lesser than what you would willingly pay the product for. If something costs a hundred bucks, say you'll buy it for only thirty. In return, the vendor will haggle back and give you seventy. You make your bid again-something higher than thirty but lower than seventy. Continue exchanging values until you meet halfway.

Don't Be Too Overeager.

Vendors know how to read their customers. If you look like you really want that bag, the seller knows you'll be buying it no matter what the price. People who know how to negotiate prices are very aware of this rule. It has to be the vendor who's desperate to sell, and not you desperate to buy.

Check Out Other Stalls First.

You might want to see just how much the other vendors are selling a particular product for. That way, you'll have a good idea of how much something really costs.
