As we mentioned above, we've tried to keep our kegerator pricing as fixed as possible over the past few years. We've seen our margins continuously decrease as we've absorbed small price increases to certain components here and there, but over the past few months, prices have increased for just about everything across the board - raw materials, labor, shipping, etc. We've seen just about every component in the kegerator increase in cost, from the fridge itself to the beverage hoses to the regulators, towers and faucets. Below is a direct quote from one of our vendors (we've received similar letters from just about all of our vendors now) Over the past 6 months, costs have risen by up to 70% across metals, plastics, and packaging materials, without exception. While we have been able to mitigate and absorb many of these increases, the dramatic escalations have impacted manufacturing costs such that we must pass on increases to our customer base. We hope this is the only price increase that we'll be making to kegerators in the near future and we do encourage you to act now if this is something tat you've been debating. If you're wondering if other products will be increasing in price as well, the answer is yes. Kegerators were just first on our list to update due to the number components that go into them and the affect that it has had on our operating costs and margins. If you have any questions, feel free to respond directly to this email. One of our owners will get back to you as quickly as possible. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading, thanks for understanding and thanks for supporting our small, family-owned business. 🍻 Cheers P.S. We're sorry this wasn't an On Sale Now email... we'll hopefully bring those back sooner than later as this was our 2nd 'price increase' email in a row. We really hope that this doesn't become the new norm. |
