Is there a Cost to Cheap
You bet there is. So, let's get straight to it.
We'll use a subject that everyone can understand.
Underwear, yes... underwear.
Even though you may not admit it; we've all had the experience of great fitting underwear aswell as really bad fitting.
What's the difference between them?
Design, Fabric Type and Production. All these have a price.
Design : How much thought has gone in to the use of the item. Are they suited to the task?
Fabric Type : Will the fabric be suitable for the task and will it be durable enough to last?
Production : How has it been put together? Are the seams done 'properly' or have they been sewn together using the simplest and cheapest method?
How will these 3 factors stand the test of time (and wear).
Whether it's underwear or reusable bags, all these factors have an impact on price - simply because it costs more to do thing properly.
BUT the extra cost is not double or triple. It's a really small percentage.
Think about the price difference on 500 bags.
$1.29 vs $1.32
= $0.03 per bag
= $15.00 overall
62p vs 64p
= 2p per bag
= £10.00 overall
How much longer does a well designed and well made product last?
Think about your own experience.
Apply that thought to your next bag purchase; and maybe underwear too :-)
