Question going to using crescent select only?

[mona]

Well I just got all of my price increases for this week up to date and am blown away at mat board pricing. I am thinking of just using crescent select. It is the lowest price. No I would keep suedes, linens, 8 ply etc. Any body else doing this. I also think I will increase the pricing on the select mats, so they are the price of rag before this last increase. On an earlier post Baer had said he slept better with rag mats on his work, I will sleep better if I have a house to sleep in and a store to work at. Thanks.

Most of my customers are business owners or executives in large companies. They will understand my passing the increase on because that's what they are doing already. They know I try to keep my prices competative. I hate it when I have to raise prices but it's all part of doing business. I have already let them know about the Select line. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens next. :kaffeetrinker_2:
