Suggestions for Vapor4Life

[Ravens Rose]

Another suggestion I would make is to list the length of the batteries in the description.

I got a battery today that was a lot longer than I expected and I thought that they might have sent an XL by mistake... but I read on a different thread that the XL's are even longer! Yikes, I have 2 XL's coming any day & I am now wondering how much bigger they are really going to be.

These days priority mail is no longer twice as better as than regular mail, maybe priority mail is not a bad idea (or was), but it would be nice to start seeing regular mail as an option to keep consumer costs down.

While having ONE sort of kiosk would be an interesting idea, the long term affect here is, like I always say, higher prices to you.

Let's say that opening up a series of kiosks happens. You have to raise some of the prices to make up for the overhead for the rent and staff.

Once customers find out you can get things cheaper online, the business at the kiosks will go down, and you will have to rely solely on first time buyers for your bread and butter, with the occasional emergency purchase. (If you hand out business cards with the website on it, this will likely happen).

In response, the website prices will go up to alleviate any sort of concern. Check any online retailer that also has stores. Do you notice any cheaper prices online than in stores?

Sorry that I am anti-brick and mortar, but as someone well-versed in self-employment and business, I can see the writing on the wall.

That's not exactly true. Having a physical presence would attract scores of new customers that would never have learned of the product or company through the internet.

If successful there is no need to raise any of the costs because increased sales = increased profits, it would absorb the overhead and could lead to higher revenue overall.

There are legal issues to consider and one would need to start with a few pilot kiosks to see how market reacts to this mostly under promoted product.

I think the optimal strategy would be to open some temporary kiosks in malls during the holiday season to demonstrate products and hand out flyer's that direct folks back to the website while the kiosk(s) are no longer in the malls.

The above could be an inexpensive way of advertising and a quick way to expand into some of the bigger markets like L.A., NY, Miami etc.

But I digest... (just ate)

A white LED with a selection of colored caps would be a brilliant idea!
It may even keep the costs down during manufacturing since they would only need to order white LED's in bulk rather than a multitude of different colored LED's

Longer caps would also be great, so you could see the LED light up when vaping.

ok... so I might be lynched for this...

but I see so many people out there that want it... (me being one of them) There is a "want & desire" for it! What about some batteries with some Bling!!! I have seen some other companies offering them and many others trying to pop the ash cap off and replace them with crystals, CZ's etc...

I will add my vote to the V4L t-shirts or other logo items - tote bags, shot glasses, ballcaps, etc.

I know the pick your own sampler would be a logistical nightmare, but how about this - a "grab bag" pack of five or ten cartos? They have tossed a couple of random cartos in each of my orders. There are a couple of flavors that I never would have thought to try, but it turns out I really like them. (I need to order more pink lemonade cartos) And, if I don't like a flavor, I only have the one carto, not a whole five pack.

I have requested this in another thread, but will post it here, too - I want a matte black XL auto battery. The shiny black clashes with the matte black cartos. Or they could offer painted instead of stickered cartos, but I think just matte black batteries would be easier.

Thanks,

i think this would work well as long as the people working the kiosks are educated on ecigs. i have seen lots of posts about how misinformed people working at ecig kiosks have been.

yes to the white leds. that would be very cool.
no to the longer caps. batts are long enough as it is.

I'd like to be able to purchase a sampler pack of random cartomizers for a set price. I made a thread about it but I think that it is a good fit for this thread as well. It may not be something that everyone would want to do but if I was able to select 5 random cartomizers at the mg of my choice, I'd probably throw two or three packs of those on every order. I like being able to sample the various flavors that v4l offers without having to commit to 5 cartomizers.
