Off to motomail

For those who don't buy/read the motorcycle trader
Motomail moved to collage hill and opened today and the store in Kingsland is staying open as an outlet store with eveything permenantly on sale.

thats just what it said on their ad in the motorcycle trader.

So how does that work? You visit their main store, choose an item then drive to the outlet store and buy it cheaper?

Their marketing is a bit confusing. I suspect with wider competition and being in a isolated retail area, they have been finding it a bit difficult in Kingsland. I would also suggest that perhaps they want to give the new shop a go before closing down Kingsland. That shop in college hill has had many retail tenants over the years.

Retail is tuff in NZ.

i don't know how they are going to work it, just saying what the ad in the trader was saying. Hopefully someone will clarify the details later on.

Dont most of the bike shops buy from F & D, so i cant see that one would ever have much sharper deals than the rest, they all buy from the same place....

[deathstar]

true because everyone has to have a mark up and forbes don't change theirs so the only person who could reduce their mark up would be the store itself so shall have to see

F+D, Eurobike, Whites, Northerns, Darbis, Nationwide to name a few. We certainly don't buy from the same place, they all have different lines.
Then you have individual stores pricing policies.
It's all called competition.

Obviously I haven't used Motomail since I came to AMPS. But I noticed a real fall off in service and range when Phil Scott sold. Don't really know why.

Well Crashe - shame i've posted three notices about it in here isn't it - not.

There will be a card in the mail this week to all those not online. I've posted those here as well. They only opened today and the signs etc haven't arrived - including the ones I did for the foyer.

There have been big ads running in KR & trader for the last 3 months and on motomail.co.nz.

Everyone has good specials from time to time and different stock - I split my custom between the businesses and people I support and the ones that support me.

That's motomail, motohause and AMPS. I get on famous with and support all of them.

Here is this months KR/Trader ad proof. It answers most of the qustions.

Jokes aside, I wish them well. I visited the shop on the way home and it looks okay but they've got a bit of work to do yet. They might had read my previous post as upon arrival I was greeted with an apology for the lack of signage. No worries guys.

Good luck guys.

Big Dave - Sorry, But I haven't been around on KB much lately and I honestly didn't see any of your threads about it. If I had seen them then I would have read them.

I also don't buy KR & trader or check out Motomail website at all either.

So thats why I didn't know about the new store opening up today.

Chill girl - I didn't think I needed a cheeky tongue icon with y'all. all good.

[Colapop]

Tongue action? Careful, Buggy, MDU and Spankme will come running!

[g34l]

it sounds quite attractive!! i might run down there and have a look too!!!

Motomail may have their failings, as every store does but it is probably because of Motomail that we are spoiled with such a choice of good retailers these days. Think back several years and you'll have to admit that Motomail's competiion have really had to step up to the mark.

[ajturbo]

isn't the new one like a couple of miles away from the other? now if they had one on the north shore or by me in mt wellington it would be alot more profitable

or .. even closer to me in himitangi.....

so without motomail bravely blazing the trail for the common good we'd have less decent acccesory retailers in NZ?

bollocks.

it's not the retailers that make the industry, it's the customers.
a few retailers seem to forget that....
