Price Me has found 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: that of the one hundred most popular products in the 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: Black Friday sales last year, seventy six percent of them 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: were cheaper on other days of the year rather than 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: Black Friday. Price Me ceo as Gavin Mail, Hey, Gavin, Hello, 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: he even seventy six percent is a lot. Did that 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: surprise you? 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: Yeah? It did, But basically it just goes to show 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: there's always a sale on out there. 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now what days? What are the days that they 12 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: were actually cheaper on than Black Friday? 13 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: Ah, so various times for various different products. So we 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: covered a whole range of different products in those one hundred. 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: So Boxing day is still sorry the key we go 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: to for shopping that was still a slightly more popular 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: day than Black Friday on our site last year. 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Is it necessarily cheaper than Black Friday? 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: It's basically, I suppose. The point is that dealers are 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: always avai, so it pays to sort of compare and 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: to check those prices of everything throughout the year because 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: there could always be one shop online that's Scott just 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: I don't know they're having an anniversary birthday sale for 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: their own for their own brand. So there's always different 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: deals out there at different times. 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: Hey, so what kind of proces are we talking about here? 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: Is there anything in particular that we should be quite 28 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: worried about. 29 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's two sort of methods of pricing. I 30 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: suppose that retailers used it's yo yo pricing, where literally 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: it goes top to bottom like a yo yo, so 32 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: they go up and down throughout the year. And then 33 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: sort of a more I suppose darker sort of method 34 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: would be something like roller coaster pricing, where basically the 35 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 2: prices are slowly increased up until a major discount time 36 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: where they're then dropped suddenly like that first first bit 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: on a roller coaster. 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Gavin listen, thanks very much, running us through at 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: Gavin Mail, CEO of Price. 40 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: Me for more from Hither Duplessy Alan Drive listen live 41 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: to news talks.
