Am intrested innovationafrik:
My strategy is to discuss prices with people individually. In most cases, I ask for lots of details from my would be customers before offering our prices. My reason for this is personal as its part of our competitive strategy.
For those who want the prices here,
1km of our drip irrigation line goes for N28,000-N36,000 (depending on quantity). This drip pipe has a thickness of 15mm and the emitters drip water at the rate of 2.6L-3.0L per hour. We have two types and they are manufactured in India and the US (Not China).
Fertigator - N50,000
Used artificial pollinator - N15,000
250ml bottle of rooting hormone - N15,000
Sinking of farm borehole (Lagos and Ogun states only) N100,000-N250,000
25 litres hydrogen peroxide (Industrial Grade) - N15,000
The prices of drip tapes vary widely according to water emission rate, thickness, pressure compensating capability etc. If you are smart, you can improvise using PVC pipes, I have taught several people how to do this.
There are several types of drip irrigation kits. There is a very clear difference between the gravity based one and the one you can connect directly to your water source. You need an overhead tank for the gravity based drip tapes, they mostly don't have a real emitters, what they have are just holes, they also hardly last longer than a year. The type I sell can be connected directly to the source, it is thicker and has real inline emitters, they can last for above 7 years.
Once a customer contacts us, we give him a price and if he is serious after negotiation, we give him our last price. God help you if you don't know how to negotiate.
What really led me to Nairaland? A friend of mine told me that one big hotel in Lagos imports Button Mushroom worth N250,000 weekly and at some period above that. I later confirmed that the information was true. I contacted Pavore9 and begged him to help me get a Button Mushroom trainer in Kenya which he did. One thing led to another, I sent pictures of the polyhouses I built to him and he encouraged me to open a thread on Nairaland which I did. Please don't ask me if I now grow Button Mushroom.
People will notice that I offered to give some people on Nairaland free of charge some of the stuffs I sell. Some accepted and some rejected. What is the essence of this? Its a marketing tactics, its not because I am nice at all. I profile people with large followership, I offer them stuffs free of charge with the hope that if they find it useful, they will help me sell to their contacts. I still have people I will give Rain Guns free of charge but I will import after the elections, hopefully the FX rate would have stabilised.
The most foolish man in the whole world will know that Sallubello is out to demarket me. All his comments are intended to just say Don't buy stuffs from Innovationafrik.
How would you explain someone saying I sell drip irrigation in the black market? This kind of creature can try to demarket a Garri seller by saying she sells her Garri in the black market. Another charge was saying my prices are ridiculous. Foreign vendors here in Nigeria sell polyhouses for above N1 million, I do mine for N250,000, the cost of my dripper lines are also far more cheaper than theirs even cheaper than the one quoted for N40,000 per km on Nairaland. Can somebody explain to me what is ridiculous about my prices?
How can someone in his right senses tacitly say I should not sell my stuffs on Nairaland because his friend or master sells already on Nairaland? Who does this please? He claims I don't have an address or outlet, I told him to visit my farm, he rejected. I am not a Ghost, I visited World1 on his farm to market stuffs to him, I also met Jasper, in fact Jasper bought some seeds for me from East West Seeds Port Novo. Sallubello claims somebody sells 2km dripper line for N30,000 even with the state of Dollar rate, I doubt this and the probability is very high that its a lie from the pit of hell. Prove me wrong by giving us the complete specification of this drip kit.
You will never find me talking ill of a competitor. The best I will do is to offer you a lower price for the top of the class goods and some added freebies. My belief is that any vendor can sell his stuffs at any price he wishes but everybody should be given a free atmosphere to operate.
One advice, you will never succeed in life if you choose to pull down others. Success will always elude those who employ the 'bi o ba o pa, bi o ba o bu le se' strategy. This just a simple law of natural consequence.
Last word, if you have any project, please contact me through my email address. I won't reply any sponsored mole again here so as not to derail this thread. |
