With all the sales and specials that Autogeek offers, you can make it work for your benefit. I have purchased quit a bit of products/merchandise in the last big holiday sales, and to be honest it made my pretty nervous. In the last couple of weeks, I've had details/washes and I notice that I didn't even put a dent in my stock/supplies. In fact my clients have been praising the finished product due to the quality. The products that AG sells/promotes are high in quality and make your work easier. The reactions their giving is close to the the people I see on overhaulin, "somewhat" haha. Take advantage of the discounts you received, and invest your profit in more product. It's money in the bank! I will charge between $180-$220 for a single stage polish, how much product can we get with $180- $220 on a BOGO or 15-20% off plus no shipping, and that's not my high-end detail. So don't get to down about how much you spend this holiday season, it'll all come back!

In this economy, not everyone has the luxury of being able to go out and spend money like its nothing.

How many single stage polishes can one obtain in the winter?

At this point I figured turning detailing into a hobby. Easier to make money at my full time job =/

Jimmy, I hear ya. That makes great business sense. Low shipping costs, free samples and discounts on products. Plus if it's all purchased before the end of the year there is a potential tax benefit. (*talk to your accountant for actual tax incentives.)

Obviously if your clientele isn't strong, than "investing" a certain amount of money wouldn't make sense. I'm just pushing the fact that the sales are a great opportunity to expand your inventory and widening your margin/profit. I have brochures that explain my process and products I use on their vehicle, so when they google (Pinnacle/Wolfgang) that product they'll confident in my work/service.
