Default RE: pro shops and return customers

If this guy is a business man he will adjust his price. Better to make a small margin on a big ticket item than lose a bunch of high margin ( accesssories etc) sales.
Well said.

Alot of money can be made on accessories for bows, often more is spent on sights, arrows, strings, rests, etc... than the bow itself. Good buisness move is to discount the bow and then sell all of those accessories you can't live without for that sharp new bow.

In my business, it makes no sence if I charge company "A" too much for my services and get no more work. But If I cut my bill for company "A" especially if I know he wants and or needs a discount, it will make him feel he is getting a deal (and he is) then he will come to me for more work in the future. Classic win-win situation, and in busness that's what you want. Good customers are hard to get and very easy to loose. And i'm not just talking about individual people, (although in this case it is) my customers are corporations and even they want or sometimes need discounts.
