[SCREEN TEXT: Current Massage Chair Sales]
Alan: There’s a number of gross sales, you already know, I don’t keep in mind all of the gross sales on a regular basis, however each month there appears to be a unique sale. We’re getting near Black Friday/Cyber Monday, which is once we see fairly a little bit of both discounting of chairs or add-ons to chairs, like prolonged warranties or free White Glove supply, or free items. Proper now, we see Ogawa has $2000 off on their Grasp Drive AI. Osaki has a two-year prolonged guarantee with their Admiral and their Osaki First Class fashions. Furnishings for Life is providing a flight voucher, so that you get a present card from both Southwest, Delta, or United, I consider, these airways. You get a alternative of, relying on the chair you purchase, a $350 or a $750-gift card. I’ve by no means seen something like that earlier than both. Furnishings for Life has actually been toying with the bonus angle this 12 months, and it’s been sort of cool. They’ve had, prior to now, this 12 months, they’ve had Omaha Steaks, they usually’ve had, now they’re providing the flights, or flight playing cards, or present playing cards for the airways, they usually’ve supplied the Varier ergonomic chair. So, they usually’re making an attempt some various things, which I believe is sort of enjoyable, they usually’ve been, you already know, pretty effectively acquired. Additionally, from the household of Infinity, their, let’s see, it’s the Genki is on, the Kyota Genki is on for $2499, and the Kyota Yosei is on sale for $4999 for the month of October. And all these gross sales, by the best way, are for the month of October, and I’m simply making an attempt to recollect if we’ve received another ones, however that’s about it proper now.
[SCREEN TEXT: Luraco i9 Floor Models Arriving in Late October]
Alan: As I discussed on my final trade replace, this was following my journey to Texas, to Luraco’s most important headquarters, and to expertise the i9, and people chairs, we have now our flooring fashions ordered, and I consider that the primary, the Arizona and the California retailer flooring fashions can be delivery out across the fifteenth, so hopefully later this week, after which I consider our Utah one can be delivery out per week or so after that. So, and for sure, we’re enthusiastic about getting the i9 in inventory. Properly, not essentially in inventory, however we have now it in our showrooms. Apparently, Luraco goes by an A, B, C sort of technique of launching the chairs. First, they’re sending them out to their distributors, in order that they will have, folks can have an opportunity to take a seat on them, then they’re going to ship it out to clients that preordered, and apparently there’s fairly various preorders. So, whenever you order the chair, it’ll be some time earlier than yours is constructed, and as you might or could not know, they construct the chairs in Dallas, in Arlington, truly simply exterior of Dallas, and so, the chairs are usually not shipped from one other nation. The overwhelming majority of the elements are made proper there in Arlington, and a few are outsourced to different firms in America, which led to its declare that their chairs are made in America. Anyway, all of the meeting, and the testing, and the programming is completed in Arlington earlier than the chair ships out, they usually’ve at all times executed that with their chairs, even after they had the next share of their elements from Taiwan, all of the American and Taiwanese elements could be inventoried in Arlington, after which the chair could be assembled, and examined, and programmed on the time of the order. So, it often would take 24 to 48 hours for the chair to be prepared and shipped out. Properly, they’re back-ordered now, in fact, as a result of it’s a model new chair, and it’s received some buzz about it, and it’s going to be a really good-selling chair, a top-selling chair, and that, and they also’ve received preorders, they usually’ve received orders by distributors, so for sure, they’ve received to catch up as a result of it’s not an enormous meeting line, the place they simply pump these chairs out, tons of a day. They’re constructed individually because the day goes on, or as every order is available in. So, anyway, we predict to have the i9 in a minimum of a few our showrooms by the tip of October, the third or fourth week of October.
[SCREEN TEXT: Luraco i9 Article Describing New Features on our Blog]
Alan: I wrote an article, by the best way, I sort of, after my go to I, you already know, I went on my go to and I took plenty of notes, and I had video footage, as you might or could not have seen on our YouTube channel, however I put all these notes collectively in an article going over the options of the chair, and what I, sort of what I noticed after I was there experiencing the chairs, or the chair, and so you possibly can learn that article if you wish to get an replace on what’s happening, or what this new chair is all about, and it’s exhausting to explain in phrases how the chair feels whenever you sit in it, but it surely’s completely different for each particular person, proper? So, you possibly can have a chair that can be good for one particular person and never good for an additional. I keep in mind a few years in the past I wrote a weblog submit referred to as ‘What’s the Final Therapeutic massage Chair?’ and I, so in my thoughts’s eye, I had an thought of what the final word therapeutic massage chair ought to have, and I requested for suggestions from some clients, and it was attention-grabbing. Some issues which can be vital to me are usually not vital to others, and a few issues which can be vital to others weren’t vital to me, and so thus it’s exhausting to search out the right, final therapeutic massage chair. It’s, it’s not exhausting to search out a fantastic therapeutic massage chair that checks off most of your bins, that’s how most individuals purchase these chairs these days, however there’s no good chair, per se. Properly, it might be good for you, however on the entire, it’s not good for everyone, however anyway, the i9 can be a popular-selling chair. The issues that actually stand out in my thoughts about it are the sliding doorways, the armrests which can be like sliding doorways, the leather-based upholstery, which is gorgeous, and that’s the usual, that’s their normal upholstery is leather-based. The arm rollers are very sturdy, and really, they cowl loads of space on the forearm, and the hand, and wrist, and it might probably deal with somebody who’s 6′ 10″. That’s unbelievable, we’ve by no means seen a chair that may deal with somebody that tall. So, these are the sorts of issues that actually attraction to me. After all, it has all the usual stuff, like, oh, whoa, effectively, duh, I forgot to say it has the cut up observe, so you possibly can flatten the chair out and get a greater stretch than an everyday L-track, and however you already know, it’s received foot rollers, calf rollers, it’s received physique scan, you already know, a really intuitive, easy-to-use distant management. It’s received all the opposite, you already know, warmth. It’s received all the opposite stuff you’d need, plenty of airbags, etcetera, etcetera, however these options I discussed firstly are the issues which can be, actually sort of make this chair distinctive, so I believe it’ll be enjoyable, and I believe folks will take pleasure in sitting in it, and we’ll see how, we’ll see how this chair fares, and I think it would fare very effectively.
[SCREEN TEXT: New Massage Chair Relief Showroom in the Bay Area – Update]
Alan: OK, additionally, I discussed accidentally on my final therapeutic massage chair trade replace that we have been opening a brand new retailer within the Bay Space, and that retailer, we’ve had a heck of a time getting the lease executed, and hopefully, we’ll be capable of finalize it this week, and I believe I’ve been saying that for just like the final 10 weeks, however we’re, we’ve received the whole lot else in place. Now we have a tech there, we have now a supply workforce there, we have now, and we’re narrowing down our worker search to a few great candidates. And so, issues are coming collectively for the shop, however once more, it’s nonetheless not even formally, we don’t have the official tackle but, and the corporate is sort of, or not the corporate, the shop is sort of nonetheless, we’re nonetheless understanding the small print of the particular lease, and the house. However hopefully, you already know, and I hate to say this, as a result of it’s like I jinx myself, hopefully, within the subsequent one, we’ll have all that knowledge.
[SCREEN TEXT: Things to Seriously Consider When Purchasing a Massage Chair]
Alan: OK, now, one factor I simply need to discuss a bit bit, and I’ve talked about this earlier than, there are such a lot of issues that go in to the supply of a chair, or I ought to say, the acquisition of a chair, you must get, to start with, you must discover the chair you need to purchase, OK? So, you bought to discover a chair to buy, and whenever you get the chair that you really want, on the worth that you really want, then you must fear about whether or not there’s stock, like is the chair in inventory? And proper now, with COVID, backups on the port of Lengthy Seaside, and I’ve gone in to this advert nauseum during the last 12 months and a half, you then received to fret about ensuring the chair is in inventory, after which as soon as it’s in inventory, you then received to fret about getting the chair delivered in a well timed style, and a few firms are saying it may as much as six weeks for a White Glove in-home supply and arrange. Then, you must be, and I might encourage you to do that before you purchase the chair, that you just do that is, ensure you perceive what the return coverage is, of the corporate that you just’re shopping for your chair from, ensure you perceive what the guarantee is, for the therapeutic massage chair firm that’s distributing the chair, by your retailer. Ensure you spend a while understanding, and attempt to do searches for the, you already know, Higher Enterprise Bureau evaluations, or on-line evaluations in regards to the buyer help of that firm, what their popularity is for caring for their clients and ensuring they honor their guarantee. Learn how the businesses deal with, and you already know, that is one thing, and that is, you already know, this may be a troublesome factor to essentially discover out, however one factor that I’ve skilled on this trade is typically, effectively, we’ve all skilled it, however chairs get discontinued, fashions get discontinued, however we don’t at all times know when they will be discontinued, so you possibly can purchase a chair as we speak, and in a month from now, the chair’s been discontinued, and when you’ve got issues two or three years down the highway, it may be powerful to get components, and also you may be out of luck, so to talk. So, discover out if they’ve a plan, and I believe this can be a nice query to ask, and I don’t suppose anyone has ever actually requested me this, regardless that they do ask about components availability, however you may need to ask a therapeutic massage chair retailer, or you already know, no matter firm you discuss to, what does that firm do if their chair is discontinued, even, you already know, even earlier than the guarantee is expired, and that discontinued chair doesn’t have components any extra, you possibly can’t get components for it anymore, what does that therapeutic massage, what’s the backup plan for that therapeutic massage chair firm, what’s their technique for caring for their clients if a chair is unfixable, if you’ll, earlier than the guarantee is over, or for any time thereafter. And a few firms have plans in place, so they’ll both provide you with a major low cost on one other chair, one other mannequin. They’ll both substitute that mannequin with one thing extraordinarily near it. Some, and that is the place it will get a bit, they are saying ‘Properly, we are able to nonetheless order components from the manufacturing unit for that chair, but it surely’ll take 6 to 12 months,’ and I’ve personally seen that. I’ve received a chair in my again of my showroom {that a} buyer wanted mounted, they usually have been transferring out of their home, so we took the chair, and we mentioned we’ll simply name you when the half is available in. Properly, we referred to as the therapeutic massage chair firm, mentioned when can we get an element for this chair, that chair, that model, that iteration of the chair had been discontinued, they usually advised us 6 to 12 months. Properly, I’ve had that chair within the again workplace for 2 and half years, they usually nonetheless don’t have any components for it. So, after they say they’ll order components from China, and it’ll take 6 to 12 months, which may simply be a stall tactic so that you’ll overlook about it, but it surely’s sort of exhausting to overlook a couple of 350-pound white elephant, or white elephant, elephant sitting in the course of your room. White elephant, that’s a Christmas factor, sorry, however you’re going to be caught with this, you’re caught with this behemoth, albatross, elephant sitting in the course of your room, and that doesn’t work, and it’ll eternally be a reminder of what looks like a waste of cash. So, anyway, I’m going off a bit bit on this, and I don’t imply to, however I’ve seen this over time, that some firms is not going to have stock to deal with the chair after the chair has been discontinued, regardless of how, no matter whether or not you’re out of guarantee, or within the guarantee nonetheless, there’s no, it’s powerful. And so, I believe each retailer, like myself, also needs to have a plan in place for when your buyer, as a result of they’re finally your clients, regardless that they’re shopping for Model X, Y, Z, they’re shopping for it from you, otherwise you’re shopping for it from us, I ought to say. So, we must always have a plan in place when one thing like that occurs, and typically the plan is fluid, you don’t actually know the way you’re going to deal with it when, till the state of affairs arises, or what the state of affairs is, however we strive very, very exhausting in our enterprise to verify our clients are pleased, and we guarantee that they’re taken care of. And that leads me to the, I believe we already touched on this, however ensure you perceive what the return coverage is, we’ll discuss that a bit bit. Whenever you purchase a chair, and also you resolve that, and to start with, you don’t even know for those who’re going to love the chair, so that you need to know what the return coverage is, so learn the effective print about their return coverage. Do you must pay for the return delivery? Is it a seven-day return coverage? Is it a one-month coverage? Is it a 60 day, a 90-day return coverage? Is the coverage, is the size of the return based mostly on when the chair ships, from the time of your buy, from the time it’s delivered, from the time you referred to as them, or the time that the chair truly is coming again to the retailer? These are issues it’s essential know, as a result of I had an expertise simply this final month, a fellow purchased a chair, and it was affecting his sugar, his blood sugar, and he’s diabetic, and he realized that when he sat on this chair, it was uncomfortable for his legs, or one thing like that, I can’t keep in mind precisely the small print, however he referred to as me just like the week earlier than the 90 days was up. Now we have a 90-day return coverage, and so he, there was no means that chair was going to get to us on time. So, you already know, ensure you know what the coverage is, for those who can not get the chair again throughout the 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 days, regardless of the return coverage is, and ensure you know what you’re paying for. Do you must pay for the return delivery, do you pay a restocking charge? Some firms will promote free returns. Properly, what does free returns imply? Does that imply they’ll pay for the return delivery, however they back-bill you for the unique delivery? A free return, effectively, perhaps it’s a free return, however do you pay a restocking charge? These are stuff you want to concentrate on, and I might exhort you, as somebody within the trade that’s been right here lengthy sufficient and has a vested curiosity in your contentment with a therapeutic massage chair, ensure you perceive these issues. These are issues that individuals don’t take into consideration. The overwhelming majority of individuals don’t take into consideration this stuff. Oh, and for those who get a brand new therapeutic massage chair, maintain the bloody field. Don’t toss away the field until you already know, until you’re previous the return interval, and you may’t return it, otherwise you may need to, you already know, ship it someplace, for those who’re transferring, otherwise you may need to return it. Hold the bins, and pack, since you’re going to should package deal it up the best way the chair got here. If not, some firms is not going to settle for your return. Some will cost you a major price of cargo as a result of, the price of delivery a chair and not using a field, and the chance of harm to a chair and not using a field that’s being shipped, is excessive. So, and also you’re going to bear that burden for those who’re not cautious, so just be sure you perceive what you’re accountable for, what the corporate goes to do for you, oh, and placing the chair within the field, you already know, it’s not simple, a 350-pound chair, taking it aside and placing it within the field the best way it got here, and strapping up the field, and getting it prepared for delivery, you might not be capable of do this by yourself, you might need to rent an organization, an area furnishings transferring firm, or you already know, we can provide you some leads as effectively. However you’re going to, you already know, you’ve received to think about that, you’ve received to consider that, and for those who can’t restock that chair, or repack that chair your self, who’s going to do it for you, and also you’re going to be paying for that, so simply pay attention to these little tiny issues that most individuals don’t ever take into consideration, and I by no means thought of them both till I, and you already know what? A few of these issues I let you know I didn’t take into consideration for a number of years after I began my enterprise as a result of these conditions come up, and after they come up, it’s like ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t know, I’ve by no means skilled this earlier than.’ I had an expertise like that this morning with an organization that, effectively, I received’t go in to it, however the best way they have been dealing with a buyer, I’d by no means skilled that earlier than, and I didn’t fairly know what to do, so now we provide you with a brand new coverage on what we do in that state of affairs, and that may turn into coverage sooner or later. So, there’s stuff that even we’re nonetheless studying, and we’re the retailers. We’re purported to know all of the solutions, and we don’t. As a matter of truth, I had a man, effectively, I may go on and on, and you already know me, I can discuss simply means an excessive amount of. However anyway, having mentioned all that, I simply needed to just be sure you’re conscious that there are stuff you want to concentrate on whenever you’re shopping for a chair and whenever you’re in search of a chair, as we don’t need you to have a bitter expertise. We don’t need you to be offended at us, we don’t need you to be offended on the distributor, we don’t need you to be, we wish you to, we don’t need you to really feel such as you’re not being taken care of, that no person actually cares, they simply, we received your cash, and you already know, good luck, you’re by yourself. We don’t need you to really feel that means, and I believe I converse for many retailers after I say that. We simply need, we wish our clients to be pleased. So, anyway, alright, sufficient of that.
