Testing Hardware Options

Works well, but you might want to revise the "kit includes" section, as it could read that you get tuners etc even with the no hardware option.

I think he's suggesting increasing the price of the kit with chrome hardware (say by $10) such that there isn't such a big gap between the cost of chrome hardware and black/gold. Win win as you increase the margin on your most common kit sales, and look like you're offering a better deal on the black, gold, and no hardware options. Makes a lot of sense to me actually!

Ok, I hear ya, but I don't want to increase the base price on the kit with chrome hardware. I'll see if I can get a deal on the black and gold hardware and bring the price gap down a bit.

Thanks for all the feedback, this is great.

The hardware option is already working as we had an order today for a TL-1 with gold hardware.

Thanks fatmunkey, that's a good point. I'll change that to make it clearer. Might play around tonight, so maybe you could check back tomorrow and let me know what you think.

Ok guys, let me know what you think. I believe I've addressed everyone's concerns and good ideas.

It's very time consuming to do this way, so we'll slowly introduce across the ST, TL, LP, SG and EX kits first, then include other popular kits as we go. It will take a lot of new photography as well, so please be patient.

If you want a kit with different options in the meantime, just email me and we can work it out manually.

Thanks again for all your feedback, it really is greatly appreciated.

Looks great now, with the separate menus, and the hardware pricing is closer to what I would have expected. You could probably make the pearloid pickguards a small additional cost ($5?) if that would help business, I suspect that most people would expect to pay a little extra for it over a standard pickguard anyway?

Just noticed the changed descriptions as to what comes with the kit too, that's much better, looks great! Offers a lot more flexibility, I know this is a lot of work, but it's excellent to see as a buyer. I really think this will be a big selling point for you.

Yeah, if I add another price option, say for the pickguards, then the combinations needed are increased exponentially, so instead of say 9 options it becomes 27, which is just too many to be practical over almost 100 products. I'm happy for customers to have a win on the pickguards to save me losing my mind managing all the options.

Also, not sure who raised it, but I decided not to include electronics (pots and caps) as an option, they are of no value outside of the kit so there wouldn't be a saving by removing them.

Anyhoo, I'll set up the ST-1 kits tomorrow and we'll run with it for a while and see how it goes.

Thanks again! Lovin' the teamwork on this task.

Fair call on the pickguards. It would be worth noting in the "kit includes" that the electronics are included as well.

[adam]

The electronics are listed in the hardware section. They physically come with the hardware packs.

Adam, the menu on the Tl-1 is great! Having the option to get or not get something in the same order is really convenient!

Big thumbs up from me!
