lingeringsoul Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 yeah, or very watered down. or they got it for free and didn't pay the excise on it so are going to sell it without the excise on it. thats's actually my boss' sister's petrol station, he said that little advertising/stunt made a $3k loss in that little period of time.

burkill Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 even thought it cost them, everyone will go there now. just like someone said, earlier. it will be seen as a "good on them" i'll get my fuel from there.

N1GTR Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Even at a 3k loss it was a smart thing to do if their point was to also raise awareness and general turnover of stock. If you were to take the 3k and run something like a direct marketing campaign you would only get about 3 or 4 runs (depending on how big your target list is) and the "accepted" return on them is something like less than 2% if i remember correctly Good on them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241054-blacktown-bp-sunnyholt-rd/page/2/#findComment-4211192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R34Liner Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 if i knew where they are then I would go there and pay full price.!good on them good on them indeed! i reckon its a fantastic idea - i don't think allot of people understand that not all petrol stations are directly owned by the big companies. there like the MacDonald's franchises that are owned by family's - if we all decide to go to the family owned stations and not buy from the Cole's and woolys stations, then the coles and woolys stations will be forced to put their prices down in order to attract the majority again...and they can afford to do this so they wont hesitate.....

FIRTY2 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 either that or it was a well planned idea, get the cheap petrol out to everyone then when everyone else hears the que gets longer and bam lets put the price back up and enjoy all the money coming in...hahaha doubt thats how it works but would be good:P Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241054-blacktown-bp-sunnyholt-rd/page/2/#findComment-4214220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 even if they do the price cut is only on regular afaik. and I can't believe people are willing to line up for 2 hours just to save $20 or so. they are effectively earning $10 an hour for sitting in their car. not a good return if you ask me. I'd rather go up the road and fill up in 5 minutes, spend and extra $20 and spend my time doing something else. i guess it's a moot point for us anyway since we all need 98RON fuel for most of our cars.

They didn't lose any money doing it this time, channel 9 gave them $5k to drop the price this morning.
