Can a AG Sample Kit be made?
I'll pay of course. I'd just like to try some of the products like WG, Pinnacle, XMT and so on. As most of you know, I'm a mobile detailer and use a variety of products.
Can this please be done?

It would be cool to have sample sizes of everything. Do you think manufacturers make more money off the sample size than selling regular sizes? I always wondered that when I walked by the travel size goods @ target.

I think they would lose money,here's why.
They would have to buy all the bottles for the sample package plus all the
labels for each brand,then you have to have somebody fill the bottles put on the labels then package them all in sample kit boxes. Just a thought.

we'll have to wait for someone more business orient..
 
Basically, I think it comes down to the cost of the bottles vs the cost of the product. They will make MUCH more product than bottles, so they probably would lose money. Well, I think AG might be willing to do this, because they only carry EXCELLENT products, and people will buy what they sample.
 
yes it may cost money now, but will improve sales later down the road when the samplers use it and go- oh my, i need a bottle

I think it would be a good idea to offer a sample kit...It would make a great gift - and possibly making more people be sick with carcaroholism:D , just like me.
 
Holy Moly, I just looked at my post count! Neq people will log on and think I know stuff!
 
You do know stuff scooter! Geez, don't be so hard on yourself. I'm a total noob to this car detailing, but what I like about it is, you pick up on it FAST. Everyone has some good advice or tips they can share, and hopefully they do. You also have a lot of OT posts. :)
 
Thanks guys.
I saw the threads on the product swapping. I'm looking to pay for it. I don't want anything for free unless it's offered first. I'll even buy the bottles and pay for shipping. There's just so many options out there and so many different cars.

Thanks again.
Lemme know if anyone wants to sell anything.

Here's some of the best deals on bottles ( I don't think this is a competitor).

I agree, I think sample kits would help sales in the long run. Not only would they be making money on kits, but the products purchased afterwards as well. I know I would buy one:D Let's face it, I haven't purchased an AG product I haven't liked yet, so most likely I would like the product and purchase the larger amount. They would have to do a cost breakdown vs. retail to determine if it would be beneficial. It's also possible AG could actually lose sales of sizes currently offered because someone might not like (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) the product purchased in sample sizes whereas they would have purchased the larger amount(higher price) had the samples not been offered. Maybe they could do a test for a couple of months and compare sales data compared to comp sales from last year. There are a lot factors involved, including sales trend (+/-). Most retailers like to offer larger sizes simply because of cost of packaging and labor, which obviously, this request would be more supply/labor cost intensive. I'd still like to see it happen:D
 
While some of you dont know it, when AG usually introduces a product it allows a sample base to test the product. With Wolfgang and entire sample kit was offered to several forums. Smaller samples are easier traded between end-users than the cost of it via retailer specifically. So keep tuned, and certainly like the recent soap testing, more will come available to this forum in the future.
