The Prices You Need
We get asked all the time, “How can you compete with BigBoxzilla?” A better question would be, “How do they compete with Coastal? Coastal doesn’t have a 100 million dollar ad budget, a 12 million dollar CEO, or a 6 billion dollar price tag to buy a competitor.Everyone is looking for ways to save money
Coastal will save you money with the products, prices and systems you need to outfit your business at the lowest overall cost.
PRICE: Just half of the story
Coastal’s prices are competitive every day. And to assure your confidence on price: COASTAL WILL MATCH ANY LEGITIMATE PRICE ON WORKPLACE SUPPLIES.* “Legitimate” means it’s a fair comparison, i.e. the product is available, units of measure match, shipping costs are included, etc., etc.
One size does not fit all because every business has unique needs. Coastal customizes your prices and delivers the lowest overall costs on the items your business buys most frequently. Your login to our website takes you to a price plan tailored specifically to the volume, preferences and needs of your business.
But price is not your only chance to save money for your company. In fact, its only about half your opportunity to reduce your true cost of supply.
COST: The Other Half
Finding the lowest price on every item every day is an expensive game of peekaboo shopping. The end result is usually spending dollars to save dimes. While price savings can be fleeting, savings achieved in the total cost of supply are constant and significant because, in business, time really is money:
In Business, Time is Money.
Purchasing professionals say any item’s price is approximately 55% of the total cost of supply, which includes time spent selecting, finding, shopping, ordering, receiving, distributing, accounting and processing payment. These expensive components, plus price, make up the true and total cost of acquisition.
