Sick of it All

Well, the $800/month price was based on 2005 pricing and was competitive at the time with other offerings. The service is a maintenance software and helps people that do repair work for major retailers keep track of every work order that is going on. Essentially helping them run their business. (I’m sure these people are hurting though)

I didn’t think of the deflation angle that is interesting. I honestly think it is not only deflation but maybe deflation coupled with a bailout mindset.

There really isn’t much cost to me, but I mean the servers have to be maintained, power/bandwidth paid for, etc.. There is some cost there. I wouldn’t do it for $100/month, I already dumped one of the customers that wanted to go from $500/month down to $150/month.

HLS,

I read your link RE: Japan, it seems like similar things are happening here. I guess they (US Government) learned nothing from Japan.

I am doing exactly the same thing you are speaking of with our consultants. The simple fact is that business is down and companies have to trim their expenses. While I am sorry you are having to take it in the shorts at least you have customers and money coming in. Now if you are providing the service at a loss then maybe it’s a bigger problem.

In general, businesses are not asking for a bailout. They are trying to keep their businesses alive. When the market returns, and you start having more customers you will be able to renegotiate and up your costs. That’s the way markets work.
