  • Is the advice really free ?

    Posted on May 3rd, 2009 admin 1 comment

    Yesterday i make a quick stop at HomeDec KLCC.  I was lingering around at the ID’s corner where the ID are making compelling discount for their work.The discount really tempting thus i stop and make inquire at 2 booth to know more.

    Here we go :

    Booth 1 : For ID sketch and advice , the cost will be RM 13,000. Free if you pay them to do the everything ( ID , design and renovation)

    Booth 2: ID sketch and advice will cost you RM 8,000. 50% discount if they do the renovation.

    I asked them to show me the example of the ID sketch and yes it similar to what we deliver to our user.

    So here are the question ? Is our advice and sketch are free ?Are we charging you RM 13,000 or RM 8,000 ?

    Now what we will deliver ?

    Here are what we normally asked from our user to let us know :

    •  floor plan and size area where you want to do ID.
    • photo of the area.
    • any concept you want to implement at that area.
    • color , what color you like ?

    In return we will sent you the ID sketch.

    Back to the question ? Is it free ?

    Yes , absolutely free. No hanky panky.

    Now , the next question which we always asked. Why are we doing this ? Are we spoiling the ID market ? How we do we make money ?

    We will answer this in our next post. Stay Tune.
