Good to be back from my reservist training and be able to use the computer again.
Another thing, if you wonder why Sony is able to boast good sales for its PSP units – reason is very simple, and I can safely say that majority of the army (active and NS men) guys inside own it and the temptation for me to own one is getting strong as well!
That’s the power of influence!
Talking about Power… I also love the Power of the Internet especially when this is the Web 2.0 era with all the advancing web applications!
If you have read my this post: Get Your Business Books from… whereby I share Berkshire.sg as a good deal to get cheaper Business Book, now thanks to one of the readers, Eka, he/she shared another good deal – Opentrolley.com.sg whereby you can even get cheaper (much more cheaper than Berkshire.sg as well) Business Books.
Back to the similar book example that I have used: “The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures (Hardcover) by Dan Roam”, I mentioned that Berkshire is selling that book at S$38.65, so let’s have a look at what Opentrolley is offering:
- Opentrolley is offering that book for $32.41
That’s cheaper than Berkshire.sg by $6.24. Wow! That’s quite a good discount! Even if we do add in the Registered Mail cost into it, the final value is still at $37.31. Cheaper than Berkshire.sg (even before the delivery cost is added).
But there’s an area whereby Berkshire.sg may win over Opentrolley is that Berkshire.sg has more self-collection points but this is no big deal as you can still opt for the Registered Post option and have the postman sent right to your doorstep or collect from the nearest Post Office.
You are still enjoying Savings!
That’s the power of competition and the main reason why there is no more such thing like customer loyalty anymore.
But… I may feel that this cheaper book deal is not easily over yet, let’s hear from any of you, your experience in the buying and the receiving of the book process. Smooth? Pleasure? Good Customer Service?
So meanwhile as we wait, for now, remember, if you are looking for even better book deals, check out Opentrolley.com.sg today!
