Competitor Pricing vs Value: What some customers overlook...
💡 The Price Trap
In today’s competitive market, it’s tempting to chase the lowest price. Competitors often undercut on headline figures, hoping customers will equate “cheaper” with “better.” But when it comes to hygiene products - the very tools that safeguard health, reputation, and compliance - price alone tells only half the story.
🧾 The Hidden Costs of “Cheap”
-
Product Performance: Lower-cost alternatives often compromise on durability, meaning replacements are needed sooner.
-
Compliance Risks: Inferior products may fail to meet hygiene standards, exposing businesses to fines or reputational damage.
-
Customer Experience: Poor-quality hygiene solutions can directly impact how clients perceive your business - from streaky glassware to unpleasant washrooms.
🌟 Why Value Wins Every Time
