On the topic of free shipping when ordering online.
I have no idea what he's talking about... As long as the product is fairly priced and shipping is free, I am WAY more likely to place my order. I've had it happen where a company was selling a product for less than it cost to ship it. There's no way I'm ordering if that's the case!
That's why I order off AliExpress all the time lol. Cheap product, free shipping.
-
It's better overall because most people can't do the maths or look at the shipping AFTER seeing the price they liked and change their minds. It simplifies it.
Offering a surcharge to people in remote areas where shipping is expensive is fair enough as they would be used to that anyway.
I have bought comics online a few times to find stuff I could never find to complete sets, there is a good site Mile High Comics with heaps of back issues. He offered free shipping if you bought a certain dollar amount (then a surcharge only if you bought over a certain amount of items internationally due to weight). He said it cost him a bit more to do the free shipping to everyone however the increase in sales was easily worth it from the volume he had received since offering.
Vince is making an example based upon two of HIS websites. What a great range of companies to base this on ::) ::) ::)
-
Also, Vince jumps right to his profit, which wasn't the question. Of course profit goes down if you have to eat shipping costs, dumbass. The question was does it move the top line, not the bottom.
-
They can afford to do free shipping all the time since they are already gauging people on the cost of the products.
-
I avoid aspartame, asulfame k, phenylalanine, alcohol sugar, and lactose so there are really only a few supplements that are useable. Therefore, I always get the lowest price available that includes shipping.
For important stuff, like cigars, you have to shop around and consider shipping costs. I don't shop much now because trial and error have pretty much shown there are only about 4 good sources for my favorite cigars.

I'd like Goodrum to start taking advice from Andrew Cunnanan

Well, when you have virtually no sales since your website is a cookie cutter template with silly prices, no web presence or inventory, free shipping means nothing.
it's like Melvin Goodrum giving advices on dieting, carbing up or being realistic.
-
Melvin should stop giving people business advices.. He sucks at that

That's an open question that Aaron put out to all of his friends but Aaron also PM's me as well on things as well. I don't think it would be of a benefit because the shipping fees on Prime and Blackstone websites are pretty low. That's actually one of the things that makes the brand so strong...its customer driven and Aaron and PJ always gets opinions from everyone before making decisions

So you're claiming that Aaron & PJ privately & specifically ask for you advices from your years in the industry as a successful fitness & BB entrepreneur to make their own business decisions?

Yes as well a lot of other people who own supplement companies. One of those companies will be releasing a new product that I actually formulated.

So you're so highly respected in the industry because of your reputation, business success & physique that companies actually ask you to ghost formulate their products?

hahahaha strong???? Their brand is a joke-weak ass copycat products -their preworkouts is the weakest out there-I need 3 scoops to feel anything-their products sit on the shelves around here collecting dust while everything sells out around it
They should take notes from centurion labz or species

You avoid alternative sweeteners--presumably for health reasons--but you smoke cigars?

Artificial sweeteners affect my mood.
Alcohol sugar messes up my stomach.

Vince, no disrespect, but let's get real. YOU formulated a dietary supplement?
What does that mean exactly, that you recommended a flavor? Or are you suggesting that you actually developed ratios of ingredients?
Someone (FF) Please add another Goodrum quote to the most hilarious thread.

interesting... can you share more on this? What does it do to your mood? Small doses like a can of diet soda?
-
Blackstone operates in a grey area and their biggest money makers will some be banned, they will be fined and have to give up the Lambos and Benzos. Tick tock..As for Melvin giving business advice ...LOL.
-
People are making it sound like developing some supplement mix is anything remarkable.
This is nothing you can put on your resume I mean fuck...
Anyone can make a supplement. If you want to consider something an actual contribution to human nutrition then do an academic study. But, for fucks sakes, lets not pretend that just because someone comes out with a supplement or even a company that that in any way means anything other than they've released another supplement.
That's my take, but I'm down on supplements because they're 99.8% total lies, false promises and gimmicks.
-

Artificial sweeteners are toxic to some people. I get very depressed on them.
The amount in 2 jugs of Gatorade is enough to cause a crash.
Anyone who's typically depressed should probably remove artificial sweeteners from their and see if there's any difference.

I've formulated a number of supplements over the years. I have a Naturopath License and studied Herbalism....I'm from Asheville, NC after all. I originally offered the formula to Aaron last year but he rejected it so I sold it to another company abeit with the addition of some ingredients. You're welcome to ask him sometime.

Those guys are both clowns who don't know how to market. They had Evan and Meadows and didn't know how to build a brand around 2 of the most respected guys in the industry, Evan got out of there fast because he saw how terrible PJ's ideas were, the last straw for him was the video of PJ humping a blow up doll to promote a product. Instead they went the cheap route and hired hot girls from Instagram, that is not building a brand.
PJ is the most insecure person in the industry, he needs to be the face of the company which is a huge mistake on their part.

Vince only knows about the poverty line.

PJ looks like shit.
I'm not a fan of his wife's tits either. Needs a better surgeon or something. :-X

Notice how you're once again evading the question when making one of your BS claims of grandeur?
Don't you get tired of lying, getting caught, running away, laying low to repeat it over & over again for years & years & years & years & years?
SO I'll ask it again Melvin Goodrum. What & for who do you formulate supplements for & why would anyone choose you for anything remotely associated with fitness, health & muscle....3 things that you don't have any clue about?
