You want that price in U$D or €uro?

These days, the answer to that ques­tion is pret­ty easy. With the sink­ing of the US dol­lar and the strength of the Euro, busi­ness­es all over the world are scram­bling to do busi­ness with Amer­i­can com­pa­nies. The down­side for Euro­pean com­pa­nies try­ing to get in on the action is that ship­ping costs from the USA gen­er­al­ly negate any adding sav­ings of buy­ing in US dollars.

Buy in Europe, Pay in US Dollars

For Amer­i­can com­pa­nies, who are used to pay­ing in US Dol­lars, the ser­vice CAPLINQ offers isn’t par­tic­u­lar­ly valu­able. For Euro­pean cus­tomers how­ev­er, this is a real wind­fall. These cus­tomers can now nego­ti­ate and buy con­sum­able mate­ri­als for use in Europe and pay in USD — tru­ly the best of both worlds.

How can CAPLINQ do this?

CAPLINQ is not a pub­licly trad­ed com­pa­ny with share­hold­ers need­ing to be pleased. We con­trol our own costs and nego­ti­ate our­selves as much as we can in US Dol­lars so that we don’t spec­u­late on cur­ren­cy fluc­tu­a­tions. Sure, we have costs in Euros, but not near­ly as much fixed over­head as the big guys and because we have loca­tions on both sides of the Atlantic and can shift resources to best uti­lize our US Dol­lar prices.

How else can CAPLINQ offer such low prices?

One of the most obvi­ous ways we con­trol costs is through our mar­ket­ing and sales budgets.We do have sales peo­ple that trav­el to cus­tomer sites when nec­es­sary, the oper­a­tive word here being nec­es­sary. Our cus­tomers work smarter today than at any oth­er time in his­to­ry; surf­ing the web, read­ing blogs, par­tic­i­pat­ing in forums and chat­ting live with poten­tial suppliers.

CAPLINQ embraces this and uses it to reduce costs. We post blogs that cus­tomers read instead mail­ing newslet­ters that col­lect in a pile. We pro­vide live updates and news on our prod­ucts instead of 10,000 copies of a cat­a­log that sits on cus­tomers’ shelves. We have live chat box­es so cus­tomers get time­ly answers to their ques­tions, and we add more and more data to our prod­uct pages as ques­tions are asked and answers provided.

We strive to put price tags on as many prod­ucts as we can, so you can com­par­a­tive shop and come back to us. If you do find prices bet­ter than ours, let us know and we’ll try to beat them.
