The sad part about this is that there was not then and there is no need now for such shenanigans. Anybody with a little study of Econ can tell you why. First, you a have a good product that is in high demand - the envy of every business on the planet. second, you have a loyal customer base. The simple law of price liquidity tells you that in this situation, if you wish to maximize revenues you do what? That's right, raise your prices. What shouldn't you do? Lower your quality. Why? Look at cars, for example. A Daimler Benz is high quality and high cost, yet they sell enough units each year at sufficient margins to sustain operations and then some. A Kia has acceptable quality and a low price, so initially they sell well until the quality issues come to light. Anybody here remember the Yugo - that pinnacle of Serbo-Croation technology? Word gets around about the quality and sales fall, despite the enticing price. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter how cheap it was. This goes double for AAS.
So my message to the existing and would-be labs is this: "Quality, quality, quality." You will actually generate greater revenues with higher profit margins if you follow this maxim. Try to become the Wal-Mart of UGLs and you will inevitably fail. You are completely at the mercy of your supply chain, so what you produce is only as good as what you get. Focus on quality from end to end in your operation and you will be able to demand a premium for your products that will support a long-term, sustainable operation. Because your customers will love you for delivering on their expectations.
But the moment you fuck with the quality it's all downhill from there, brother...
Well written. I couldn't agree more.
