he did this because he wanted to maintain the selling price, did not want discounting and felt his customer base would be more loyal if they did not compete against the larger stores\u2019 discounting policy. he was very successful and very profitable, but probably not as large as he could have been had he had the volume that department stores would have provided.

\nwhen my father died i took over as the luggage manufacturer\u2019s accountant, and my first day there we had lunch. he explained his pricing philosophy: he never gave discounts, but he did offer his customers a break while building up his sales in the slow months after christmas season by announcing a price increase for march 1, along with six-month dating on orders placed in january and february. he even agreed to hold the inventory and ship it when the store needed it. that way<\/p>\n
