A short excerpt from a YouTube video (Tom Burton, June 3, 2025) where panelists discuss manufacturers' and distributors' difficulties executing price increases. Manufacturers are tentative about raising prices across multiple scenarios for fear of upsetting customers. From a distributor perspective, implementing frequent price changes is disruptive: one speaker cites 147 price changes they were trying to load into their system, arriving in many inconsistent formats and creating non-productive work.

Questions this video answers

147 price changes.

Chapters

You know, had the opportunity to talk to a lot of manufacturers this week at naad and the one thing I kept hearing was well we're, we're scenario planning and you know we have seven or eight different scenarios and you know we'll, we'll kind of implement. But some of them have gotten a little gun shy on putting out new price increases because is it going to be enough? Is it going to be too much and they don't want to whipsaw their customers. And I will tell you from a distributor's perspective I think and Stefan would know this number right off top of his head but I think we had 147 price changes that we were trying to get into our system and as you can imagine they come to us in all different formats. You know, some of them are, you know, you know, hammered on a stone and some of those are in nice files and so it's just, it's a lot of disruptive work and it's non productive frankly.
