Lee Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 So here we go the 2008/09 forum price survey! Please take the time to fill out our price survey. Each section is a different survey so you can fill in each section as you get time. Shoe Repairs closed Engraving closed Keys closed Watch Repairs closed Once all the figures have been averaged out I will publish the results in the downloads section early on December. We have had reliability issues with the survey from time to time. If you get a problem please re-start the survey I can see from the IP address if it has gone wrong on you!

Lee Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi Valerie Nice to have some feedback from a member who hasn't posted before. Welcome to the forum & thanks for taking the time to help compile the survey, I think we all find it an interesting read. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 with just one week to go I am pleased to see that this years survey has had the most response from the three years we have been doing it. There is now just one week to go until the survey closes for this year, so if you haven't completed it yet, your running out of time! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Doll Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Had a look at the survey for the engraving Lee but 99% of it doesn't apply to what we do with our engraving. Do you want me to say what we would charge IF we did that as I didn't think it would give a realistic guide. The only one that we do is the pet tags (No. 1) Alison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi Alison As with all the sections just fill out the prices that you do, even if its just one answer it will be included in the overall result. When I publish the survey it has a column showing how many people answered that particular question. this is good for two reasons. 1. (this applies to things like watch movements & glasses) you can see how popular a specific service is, & gage how it is expanding over the years. 2. you can see the true relevance of the question surveyed if only a couple of people answer you know its not necessarily a good price to judge your own on. the second point in my view is what makes our survey more interesting than those before it, we tell you how many people actually did it!

Pussycat Doll Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks Lee, I will go and complete it now. I have never done them before as I always presumed as I couldn't answer many that I shouldn't be doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I always presumed as I couldn't answer many that I shouldn't be doing it. If your a member, then there is probably at least 1 question you can answer! dive right in & have a look! ALL OF YOU! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Key Wizard Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 And how long have you had to do it Tel I planned to do it on the last day as it was a Sunday & I've been real busy. Blame the Government, I had to adjust VAT on all the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I closed it sunday, because I to had been busy & wanted Sunday to make a start on all the results. Each page of results shows 10 replies, per heading, having already spent the best part of 4 hours I am only half way through the shoe repairs section. Sorry for anyone waiting until the Sunday, I will make the closing date clearer next year. This years survey was a fantastic success & I hope to finish it by Christmas! it takes ages!

Lee Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Here at last is this years price survey, with over 50 members taking part in the various sections this has to be the biggest survey of the industries prices ever! Thank you to all those who got involved this is one of the most useful surveys we have in this industry. I did notice a couple of things along the way….. *The 1st thing was that despite increased numbers taking part the prices where pretty consistently with last year allowing for inflation. *Amazingly despite another 10 members doing the key section the humble 1A came out at exactly the same as last year *The key section in general most prices went down, but looking through the results there are 2 camps! For example the 1A you get the £2-3 pound camp & the £3+ camp. *There seams to be a huge untapped market on watch batteries & repairs as only 24 replied to this section & only half of these did more involved repairs. So go get it! http://www.shoerepairer.info/index.php? ... w&iden=131 Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
