Great price difference
In a shopping mall near the long-distance bus station in Jinan City, Shandong Province, the reporter saw that there are twenty or thirty shops selling crystal lamps. The crystal lamps are very beautiful. The reporter learned that most of the crystal lamps on the market come from Guangdong Zhongshan, Shenzhen and other places, according to the color, can be roughly divided into two colors of yellow and white. The reporter walked into a store randomly and the sales staff introduced it enthusiastically.
Sales staff said that although the crystal lamp is expensive, but the high-end atmosphere, so the sales are very good. However, the same is the crystal lamp, the reporter conducted a survey in some large shopping malls near the North Park Street in Jinan, Shandong, and the quotations obtained are quite different.
"This one, if you want, it is 3000, that one 2900", a salesperson told reporters. The merchant explained that the crystal lamps are large and small, the styles are also divided into various types, and the price difference is normal. Is this really true? The reporter took the best-selling metal lamp holder on the market and a crystal lamp with a diameter of about 80 cm as an example. look deep into.
In the survey, the reporter found that even the same size, the same material crystal lamp, the price difference is also very large. The lowest is only eight or nine hundred yuan, while the highest is several thousand yuan, or even ten thousand yuan. So, what is the explanation for the business?
Merchants told reporters that in addition to the wick, the crystal lamp sold on the market is the most important one. The crystal ball is suspended. If the light effect of the crystal ball is not good, the light will not appear, and there will be a dim situation. In other words, an important factor affecting prices is on these crystal balls.
The reporter saw that the crystal lamps sold on the market mostly hang dozens or hundreds of transparent light balls under the lamp holder. In a store, the merchant provided two different crystal lamps with different prices to the reporter. Sure enough, after the power was turned on, the effect was very different.
Some of the "crystal lights" have a false name?
It seems that the effect of crystal lighting has a lot to do with the light ball. We found out that the price of the crystal lamp of the same style can be as low as two or three thousand yuan. What kind of light ball is the best? Is the light ball of high-priced crystal lamp really worth the money? The reporter investigated in depth, but found that the problem is far from simple.
The lighting sales staff told reporters that the crystal lamp that hangs the light ball around the wick is the most popular style in recent years. Generally speaking, a crystal lamp with a diameter of 80 cm has a number of hanging balls of one or two hundred, and at least thirty or forty.
Merchants say that these lights are all crystal materials. What exactly is crystal? The reporter has learned that crystal is a rare mineral, a kind of gemstone. The main chemical component is silica, which is divided into natural and synthetic. According to the introduction of the industry, a natural crystal with a diameter of about 4 cm, depending on the quality and processing technology, the price ranges from a few hundred to several tens of thousands of dollars; and the synthetic crystal of the same specification, the price is generally Two or thirty yuan. Based on this calculation, even if it is cheap synthetic crystal, dozens or even more than 100 crystal balls, plus the cost of wick, assembly, transportation, etc., the cost is not low. So, what is the "crystal" that the merchants say is really worthy of the name?
When the reporter asked the salesperson whether the crystal used for the crystal lamp was all true crystal, the salesperson did not answer, but opened the topic. The reporter asked the salesperson for the factory certificate and quality inspection report of the crystal lamp. The other party did not provide the materials for the manufacturer. In another store, under the repeated questioning of reporters, some merchants have given such a statement.
Crystal glass? Is it crystal or glass? In order to investigate the truth, the reporter randomly purchased two crystal balls from several merchants selling crystal lamps and got the National Gold and Diamond Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for inspection.
Cheng Youfa, a staff member of the National Gold and Diamond Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, told the reporter that the products found by the reporters were not crystal, they were all glass.
Director Cheng said that the so-called crystal ball that merchants say is actually a glass ball, and has nothing to do with crystal. There is no such thing as the concept of crystal glass.
After obtaining the authoritative appraisal, the reporter once again came to the market to visit. In the face of doubts, what will the merchants respond to?
"Let's call him crystal, it's actually glass, pure natural crystal is unrealistic, how expensive it is." The salesperson gave this explanation.
"Yin and Yang" price list merchants exposed "hidden rules"
Speaking of crystal lamps, in fact, strictly speaking, it should be glass lamps. In addition to the crystals, the reporters also found that these lamps also have a lot of abnormal conditions in terms of price, the price on the label and the actual sale. The price difference is quite a lot. It stands to reason that good quality and low price can attract customers to patronize. Why do merchants like to use high prices? Does this scare away customers?
During the visit, the reporter found that, regardless of the large shopping malls and ordinary shopping malls, there are some differences between the price of the crystal lamp label and the price of the sales staff.
Almost all businesses are discounted. Some have 20% off, some have 60% off, and even more, direct half-price sales. For this kind of profit-making consumer behavior, it is understandable, but the reporter learned from the sales staff that this discount has been available all year round.
When the reporter visited the market, it was found that all the price of the crystal lamp label was very high, and the merchant would offer a discount if the consumer bargained. In this case, why should the merchant not directly mark the low price on the product, but adopt this way? In the face of the reporter's question, the merchants are silent. What is going on here?
A lighting salesperson revealed to the reporter the mystery: "The price is the person who decorates the company with the customer, take the commission, we show him the price. For you, the lowest price."
Take the commission? Is this really true? The salesperson told the reporter that many people often choose the lights of the decoration company's designers together because of lack of experience during the renovation. The problem is exactly here.
In the investigation, more sales staff of the lamps broke the news, and many decoration companies will take the initiative to find them to cooperate.
For this kind of cooperation between merchants and decoration companies, many merchants said that they are not willing to adopt such a business method. On the one hand, in the event of a dispute, when the consumer requests a return, the loss of the merchant increases, on the other hand, the selling price Going higher, the chances of absorbing repeat customers are smaller, and in the long run, it is not conducive to sales. However, the merchant said that if the decoration company does not give kickbacks, the negative effect is not small, "he said that this light is not good, highly recommended to buy the store for his rebate."
Unexpectedly, there are still so many tricks inside, although the name is called a crystal lamp, but the crystal is glass, and in the sale, the price is too high, only to know, there is actually a commission for the decoration company.
