How
to do a good bargaining??? Most of us will get a quick answer to start
bargaining from the half
rate. Anyway, I am not here to blog about the idea frequently used. But I want to share two ideas
which I have experienced in shops whom are not at all ready to reduce price.
Remember again, I am not talking about bargain ready shops..
Once you identified your product, the
method which surely can be used for those over priced shops which are not at
all ready to bargain is to just ask a simple question. “What is the final
price?” You won’t believe, even I got shocked in many shops which are well
known for no bargaining. I got more shocked while getting discounts, after
noticed that other customers paid full value as it is sure that bargain will not
work there. After showing a confident body language of not much interested due
to the over price, if we ask this question, the shopper will have a feel that
if he reduce the price little, the deal
will be closed. But still if you feel that you have not got a reasonable
pricing, then the option is to tell reasonable price which you felt. Surely the
answer will be a no from the merchant. But here you have an opportunity to ask
one more final price. In most of the cases I could close it within 75 to 80% of
the price.
Utilize the latest blogs from “Tips”
and “GroupBuy”, once two weeks.
Another
method which can be used to those overpriced shops, but are having very less
mentality to reduce price, is to start bargaining from half rate. The first and
second answer will be no to rate reduction.. just give another rate of around
55 - 60%. Here if there is a positive body language from the merchant, wait and
see to get a price from merchant. Most probably it will be of 90 - 95% of what
he told first. If you feel that he will not reduce further, then use the next
sentence that “ Ok.. let’s come to middle of both of us” and then close it with
70 – 75% of first rate told… This worked many times.
When you are at no bargain shops, don’t bargain when other
customers are in front of merchant. While on the discussion, if a customer
comes, just stop and stay back, which will give a confidence to merchant that
you are not spoiling his other customers, even actually we should not do the
same. Because bargain is not actually done by the merchant and he is not
interested to make a feel of bargain to other customers. But in the case of
bargain ready shops, you can bargain without minding whom are around you and you
may get it even from 40 – 60% rate from the first rate told by the merchant.
Bargaining
should do only on those shops which are overpriced. I will not suggest to do bargain on those
shops, whom are not over priced, but still business is not there due to
locality issue or some other reasons. If you bargain, he may reduce the price
to have a sale to run at least his daily expenses. But I strongly believe that
the gain made like that way will not be helpful, sometimes it will be harmful.
It’s a natures truth!!!
So enjoy the savings!!!
