Why retail pricing psychology matters on the Diamond 5

Checklist

Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.

Frequently asked questions

Should Diamond 5 be discounted to launch?

A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

Do you support long term supply agreements?

Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
