How to Beat the Low Intro Rates
Description
One of the biggest questions we get asked is, "How can I compete with my competitor down the street who is offering the same unit as me but for 50% less?"
Low intro rates are a strategy many large companies are using, but don't worry. You have options other than bottoming out your prices and losing money for the first several months of a rental.
We examine target marketing and several "specials" that have proven effective at combatting the low intro rate strategy. This isn't the time for a "if you can't beat them, join them" approach. These strategies call for setting your business apart as a greater value and showing that it's worth paying a few dollars more in the long run.
