Why Accurate Snow Stake Orders Save You Money


There are three main goals Discount Snow Stakes has as a company: To provide our customers with the best quality snow marker possible, to offer our customers the best value stake on the market and to save our customers money. When a company doesn’t forecast the amount of stakes they will need accurately, it costs them money, here’s how.

Unfortunately, most of the time, it ends up costing you MORE. In fact, I did some research on the subject. Basically, for all of our customers who ordered 250 or more snow stakes, 15% end up ordering more in the same season. So no big deal right? Check out the break down below.

250 4 ft stakes @ $1.20 = $300
Shipping = $18.95
TOTAL = $318.95 
 

Now, the customer orders 250 driveway driveway markers a month later when he runs short, ad his total on the stakes is doubled to $637. If the customer orders the correct amount the first time, here would be the costs for the season.

Shipping = $23.95
TOTAL = $563.95
