Frequently asked questions
Should Diamond be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
