The lowest price carries the seeds of it’s own destruction.Eventually the price gets to zero, but you get nothing for that.
For years ignorant financial advisers have spouted the mantra, “Shop around. You’ll always get a lower price“. They think that getting the lowest price is a good deal. This misguided thinking has permeated business and government to the extent that most purchases are made on price. I think this is so misguided that it’s a significant part of the supply chain issues the world is now facing. Anyone can make a product cheaper, but you lose quality and reliability along the way because you can’t make it cheaper and better. What happens is that manufacturers source lower grade materials or materials from countries with lower labour costs or supply less product in the same container. A case in point. When we arrived at this caravan park, I accidentally ran the Pajero over the grey water drain pipe, creating multiple splits along it. Today I bought a replacement at the same branded outlet that I got the original several years ago. The new pipe is enough smaller in diameter than the old one that I cannot connect and seal the additional lengths that I carry. The manufacturer has used less plastic to make the same length hose to keep the retail price lower. I can fix this, but I shouldn’t have to. Eventually, that rush to have the lowest price must hit rock bottom where the manufacturers go out of business because they cannot make a profit. Then what? Some people think businesses shouldn’t make a profit, but they don’t understand that without a profit, no taxes are paid, and there are no jobs and no income. So, don’t search for the lowest price. Search for local businesses to support as it keeps your local economy going. Regards, P.S. Most people starting their Internet careers consider affiliate marketing their first step. This is not a stupid thing to do, as most top-level marketers got their start the same way. But, many people struggle with getting this setup working.
