Title: January News & Special Offers.... Post by: Helen on January 20, 2008, 03:40:51 PM Hello everyone,
I have just published our latest store news. It pains me to say that oil commodities have risen and this trend looks set to continue. A while ago I published an article along these lines regarding the price of coconut on the world market... Trading Commodities... (http://www.fresholi.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=83&Itemid=44) At that time, I was set to increase coconut oil prices but decided to absorb the cost instead. However, there has been a huge price hike since then and I am getting to the point whereby I am almost saturated - my margins are now VERY squeezed. I can only say that I have managed to absorb SOME of the cost, for now :-\ I'm hoping and praying that this instability settles very soon. I thank you for your continued support in these early days of Fresholi - without which, it would be impossible to maintain (:hug:) On a lighter note (and to help soften the blow), we have a number of special offers that will run until the end of the Feb or until stocks are exhausted. We will also be adding to the inventory, particularly essential oils, so if there is anything you would like to see available, either PM me or send me an email ;D. Again, thank you all very much for your incredible support that makes it possible for Fresholi to exist :) Title: Re: January News & Special Offers....

it seems that most of the oil prices are on the increase, Title: Re: January News & Special Offers.... Post by: Helen on January 20, 2008, 05:13:53 PM Sadly Mai, this will affect all suppliers worldwide. They are traded daily so who knows. It may be time for you and others like you, who sell their products to look at costs. Who really knows where it will stop but needless to say, I'm doing what I can to keep prices as low as possible to my customers & will continue to do so. I am also seeking alternatives where possible :-\
