Гость puks Опубликовано 27 августа, 2011 Поделиться Опубликовано 27 августа, 2011 Друг у меня есть. Хотел, чтобы было все легально, но даже он понимал, что выложить 300 баксов за софт - это круто. Решил он спросить у производителя про скидки. И вот, что получил в ответ.============================================No we don't have a discount for Russia. In fact we have nodiscounts for any country.Here is the answer from my boss to your question about getting oursoftware at a special "Russia" discount:"We regularly get requests from users to give a special discount, so thequestion is very common for us. Typically, users who considerthemselves students ask for discounts because they will not be able touse the software as extensively as a professional would, whereasprofessionals ask for discounts because they feel they will promote ourproduct by exposing their clients to it.Since almost all our users are either students or professionals, wecannot make exceptions or we would have to give discounts to almosteveryone.Therefore, for many years, our policy has been to NOT give discounts onour products, except when we can pass on savings from our end.For example, we offer a discount when someone orders multiples productsat once, which is saving us time and expense in order fulfillment andtechnical support. Or we offer discounts when a group of people ordersat once, as order fulfillment again becomes much more efficient for us.Truthfully, we can tell you (or anyone else) we have not given othercustomers a discount, other than for those reasons. As soon as we makeeven one exception, we can no longer say that...and keep it simple.In some countries it is very common to ask for a discount, and for abusiness to offer one. As a result, there is a widespread practice ofmarking up prices to allow that margin for discounts. At the end,everyone wastes time to go through the process of negotiation. For aspecialized product such as ours, our software is already inexpensive,and "pre-discounted" you could say.In fact, we have not raised our prices for the last 15 years, yet thevalue of the product has increased manifold through adding many featuresover the years. While many companies raise prices on products thatrepresent the same service over time, we have raised the service whilekeeping the same prices.The slowed down economy is hitting us like it hits anyone else. Ratherthan cutting on technical support by limiting phone support oroutsourcing the support to India or Indonesia (as many other companiesdo these days), we still offer the same, local, toll free phone supportwe always have. Our product is a niche product, and we have a smalluser base to make this work at all. It has been a labor of love, and asmuch as we have enjoyed serving the community providing these tools, wealso depend on the community to help us keep this up by paying the fairprice for these products."So there you have the founder's view on offering discounts. It'sprobably not what you wanted to hear, but I hope you'll appreciate hiscommitment to the Vedic Astrology community and will vote (with yourwallet) for Geovision software anyway.Let me know if you need any additional help.Thank you and best regards,ClaudeCustomer SupportGeovision Software Inc.Makers of Parashara's Light andother/Vedic Astrology softwarePhone: 641-472-0855Toll-free within the USA 800-459-6847Fax: 641-469-6847www.parashara.com============================================Ответ, конечно, поражает. Особенно ожидание, что он все равно будет "голосовать за их софт своим кошельком" :) Наивные и недальновидные люди. Ссылка на комментарий Поделиться на другие сайты Поделиться
