    Creating a perception of rarity

    > I don't have control over the product packaging or availability from other outlets. But it's equally limited elsewhere, in that once the initial stock, and any in the first or second reissue is gone, that's it forever. > Invariably, demand increases once the products have sold out. Wait...

    Creating a perception of rarity

    Is the fact it's limited of value to the people who might buy it? Why?

    Creating a perception of rarity

    > What the product is doesn't really matter, IMO. I disagree. For a start, without having thought much about this, if it's a visible, social product, something people see that you own and use, then that allows for the whole exclusivity/fashion/social status side of things. That infers a certain...

    Creating a perception of rarity

    What is the product? How is it limited? X number full stop. No more. Or only X per week/month/year? Why is it limited?

    small surcharge for PayPal payers? possible?

    Yup, that's one option. From a bit more searching, I think it may well be OK. Found this in PP's UK forum: In representations to your customers or in public communications, you agree not to mischaracterise or disparage PayPal as a payment method. You agree that you will only surcharge for the...

    from here https://www.bluepark.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?6079-Offering-Paypal-as-well-as-SagePay-card-payments-but-with-surcharge Sounds like it's OK from that?

    Small Business starting up ....any help appreciated!

    "My concerns are regarding a website. I wish people to be able to book on line and I also need to be mobile friendly." Wo there. Back track. Step back. Why/how on earth do you have concerns regarding a website? Talk about making problems for yourself when you don't have them. Maybe you want...

    small surcharge for PayPal payers? possible?

    Small quantities of orders, low cost per order. Customers choose to pay by cash on delivery or PayPal upfront. I want to charge a small surcharge for PP users, per PP order, otherwise it'll put up the cost unfairly for cash payers. This appears to not be OK with PP, at least from a quick search...

    idea ownership/protection

    Sorry for delay in replying. Oops, sorry yes, I knew that. Just made a copy and paste mistake and didn't notice. > One of the problems with working in a department within a larger company, is that one seldom has a view of the larger picture, including percentages and market share - stuff like...

    idea ownership/protection

    Worked in a marketing department, ad agency, for years, and some other things related to marketing. That's an interesting variation on what I'm describing. Removes the problem I'm talking about - client not using work after agreement ends. Plus doesn't necessarily remove working for client on...

    idea ownership/protection

    Just personal experience of doing some websites for small businesses, and working in a major company's marketing department (some years ago though). In both situations, I noticed an absence of an understanding of the importance marketing planning side of things. Hadn't been done. Didn't value...

    idea ownership/protection

    Some very useful info/thoughts there Steve, thanks. Well I wasn't really imagining small businesses choosing, even considering, an agency. More, either doing the marketing plan/ideas part themselves or not really considering that part much, and going straight to production of marketing...
