United States of America (Press Release) November 3, 2008 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Melbourne Beach, FL
Milmacinc, the parent company of Mini Masseuse Store has just announced they will no longer market the Mini Masseuse massager after their current inventory is depleted. Accessories will be available by visiting our website. There are some disturbing factors that has brought about this unfortunate business decision.
On October 13, 2008, Shane, the sale representative for Mini Masseuse Company called the office of Mini Masseuse Store and demanded that the prices on Internet Retail Sales must be raised to a minimum of $119.95 for the Pro Series, or Mini Masseuse Store would not be able to purchase products wholesale from the Mini Masseuse Company. Mini Masseuse Company is the only wholesale source you can buy these units from.
Mini Masseuse Store is an independent dealer and has been purchasing wholesale from Mini Massesue Company and has been selling the massage units online since Sept 2004 for $59.95. Mini Masseuse Store has been very comfortable with their profit margin since beginning their affiliation with this company. The wholesale pricing has been constant and acceptable.
To be dictated by your wholesaler that an Independant Retailer make an extra $50.00 profit on each unit became very disturbing to the principles of Mini Masseuse Store. Mini Masseuse Store will not tolerate price fixing. Thus the decision to discontinue their relationship with Mini Masseuse Company is hereby announced.
Mini Masseuse Store has reduced their prices back down to the original price of $59.95 per unit until all the units are sold. Accessories will continue to be available by visiting our website.
Mini Masseuse Store was built on the marketing concept of a quality product for a fair price and service second to none. Even though wholesale prices have remained constant and the cost of doing business has increased, the Mini Masseuse Store had maintained their fair retail pricing in these hard economic times. Raising prices in a bad economy does NOT make sense.
The spokesperson with Mini Masseuse Company also stated that “this price increase demand was only for Online Sales and not for any eBay dealer or kiosk dealer in a Shopping Mall operation.” It was the opinion and feeling of the Mini Masseuse Store staff that they were being discriminated against.
Mini Masseuse Store wants the general public to be aware that Mini Masseuse Store does NOT endorse; nor will they tolerate price fixing (retail or wholesale), price gouging, or discrimination under any circumstances.
Mini Masseuse Store has filed complaints against Mini Masseuse Company with the Florida Attorney Generals office and the Missouri Attorney Generals office and is currently waiting on counsel as to whether other States, or the services of other agencies will be included in this action.
Mini Masseuse Store Staff will continue to support the value of the Mini Masseuse products. The products are excellent and the staff of Mini Masseuse Store will continue to represent the value of the Mini Masseuse Company products in a positive manner.
A Mini Masseuse Store spokesperson states “It is with deep regret this action must be taken since small business operations such as Mini Masseuse Store is the lifeblood of the American dream.”
