The Cost Of GEAR Going Up!?!?

Nelson Montana

That's GEAR -- the supplement. And it looked like there might be a problem.

I hope needto is cool with this...but I gotta say it.

As most of you know, I designed GEAR and tried to market it a while back but no one understood it enough to take it on. It was out of their comprehension. They wanted to stick to the same basic stuff. It wasn't until I got together with needto that he thought it was the perfect product for his customers.

But he had to make sure it was the real deal.

So together we went though all the literature and it was a slam dunk. The shit is simply beyond any other protein on the market and if there's one thing we know builds muscle for sure it's PROTEIN. Today GEAR is one of the most popular products available online...and with good reason. The stuff is a bodybuilders dream come true -- so much so that it almost always gets sold out before we can restock.

Now I told needto right up front -- this is NOT going to be cheap to make! The profit margin was not going to be like prohormones or even protein powders. It didn't matter. He knew it'd be awesome he wanted his people to have it. It's another reminder that needto doesn't just buy and sell whatever is out there. He sells the best, cutting edge products there is. That's also why he even carried protein factory's UNLEASHED and POST CYCLE. He knew his audience could benefit by them so he sold it FOR LESS than directly from the factory! To be honest the profit is barely a couple of bucks per bottle. No matter. They get results and that's the bottom line -- to be known as the company that only sells stuff that WORKS!

Well, over the last year or so, the cost of he materials for GEAR have gone up. Still, needto kept the same price. Now just recently, the price has gone up again -- leaving the profit margin to next to nothing. We spoke about what to do and you know what the big guy said? " Leave it. Don't touch the price. It'll just mean less people would be able to afford it and I don't want that."

That's not the response you get from most businessmen.

It just goes to show you. We get off on the fact that we have the best stuff and we love that the really hardcore guys know it. So if it means making a little extra money...it's cool. We'll get by. because they're going to sell. Because they work.

Now I can't say what will happen in the future. If the cost gets to a certain point, there may have to be a little boost in price, but for now-- we're all still in good shape. GEAR will remain at the same price and needto will still run specials and offer discount codes.

So if you get a chance, tell the big guy how much ya love him! LOL Honestly, I don't know any other supplement store that would take a hit like that just to provide a service to its customers. I think it's because y'all more than just customers. We're friends. Brothers. Men and women who share the same sick passion. And we want to keep it that way.

And thanks again to everyone who supports the site on a continual basis.

I have been taking hits left and right on any kind of protein products I have in the store. The price of gear has been raised on me many times since I started making it through my manufacturer who makes it. Which is not the same maker of most of my other products. I think this guy thinks I am maid of money or some shit because he has raised the price on me " every other order" since its conception. In other words I started getting gear at one price, then on my second, 4th, 6th, 8th, and now my 10th order of the product he has gone up in price anywhere from 50 cents to 2.00 each time. Ya I can see the price of protein is going up but this is just plan stupid..

Thing is I have always of the thought that if its working good then do not change anything about it. I bet I could find some one else who could make the product for me way cheaper. But would it still be the same product?
Would anything about it change, would it work any less at all on and on? these are chances I am not willing to take when it comes to my products. If there is even the slightest chance the product could change in anyway
I cant take that chance. SO I am stuck with the price and although its tempting I do everything I can to keep the price the same for the customer.

Take my wheytobuildmuscle proteins. The price for me has gone up 3.00 a lb since I started selling these protein flavors and yet I have only gone up from a starting price of 47.99 to 51.99
which at this very moment makes my protein ONE OF THE CHEAPEST IF NOT THE CHEAPEST PROTEIN ON THE MARKET TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes of course to the normal every day ignorant consumer the 51.99 price tag makes them say " wtf is he talking about that is not the cheapest or even cheap???? I can get protein for blah blah blah at blah blah blah"

Notice I said "ignorant consumer"

These are people who put little to no thought into what they are buying. Nothing but the first price they see matters. Impulse , ignorant and not very bright at all. OK OK Its true though many of us fall under this category. Its easy to get caught up in that first knee jerk price tag.. I see sites selling 5lb of protein for as little as low as 35.00!!!! WOW!!!! 35.00 for 5 whole lb of protein what a bargain!!!!!!!! That beats my 51.99 starting price hands down any way you slice it right?

wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That same store is going to charge you absolutely no less then 10.00 to ship that protein and most places are charging 13.00 and even upwards of 15-17.00 on sites like trueprotein bwahahaa
See how you avg ignorant consumer just got duped!!! Is that you?? More then likely but its cool guys you are not alone almost everyone is falling for the same trick these days.

OK so lets take the very cheapest price for 5lb of protein I could find which was 35.00 and I cant remember the brand but it was not something I new ( not that it matters) . Now lets add just 10.00 for the shipping ( which will be snail mail ground shipping btw) . We now have a ending price of 45.00 but if I know the market its really going to be more like 47-48 but lets just say 45.00 to be fair.

HMM still beats my 51.99 price right? WRONG AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
I ship my protein 2-3 day mail for free anywhere within the USA or US Provence. 2-3 day priority not 4 not 5-7 day ground but 2-3 day priority and always shipped same day or no later then next day.. SO no extra charge there guys and much better service too.

But that is not all. Everyone can use the needto139 15% discount or any discount my reps have. This makes the end price of my protein 44.20 aka cheaper then the cheapest protein on the market, faster service, better service, backed by my 100% money back policy, and as most will agree taste damn good too.

Why on earth would anyone on this site buy any other protein out there. when they can support a sponsor who IMO has supported the death out of this site and its members and get it faster and cheaper. And that is not even including the times I sell it even cheaper during 20-25% off sales guys. Which I do often.

I also allow anyone to taste my protein for no more then the cost of shipping. NTBM sample pack.

As a matter of fact you get to sample 3 of any products I sell for no more then the price of shipping it 2-3 day priority.


As everyone already knows its not really about the money for me. I make plenty of money through many different avenues in this industry. So I don't need to nickle and dime you the people who matter most. I take the hits when it comes to price increases as much as I can and I only go up on price when the price has been raised on me to the point where there is no longer any profit at all. I don't mind not making much money but no business can survive giving it away ether lololol...

The only times I go up a lot is in the case of Hcgenerate which was done for a reason which we will all soon find out. People asked for a pre sale and asked for a higher price to help insure they got the chance to buy the product. These people will be reworded in true Needto stile
 
i get my protein a lot cheaper than 40 something for 5lbs. To me thats a rip and id never pay it, granted your protein tastes good but regardless of the whey id never pay more than 30 or 35 for 5lbs. Sales at GNC, vitamin shoppe,mass nutrition etc have 5lbs whey going for 30, and i get 6lbs cytosport from costco for a little over 30.
