APA Open Community

Hi all,

We're writing about how businesses can improve their profitability with glass and crystal products for the November-December issue of the magazine. We'd love to hear from APA members about what they're doing to increase their margins.

If you want to share your insights (pun intended), please respond here or reach out via email: mschur@glcdelivers.com.

Thanks!

This isn't necessarily for increasing margins, but just for increasing overall quality. We recently added a sandblaster to our workshop because we feel it leaves a much nicer mark on glass than lasering. Since we've had to raise prices to keep up with supply costs, we want to make sure the decoration quality also matches those costs. Customers are willing to pay a lot for a dependable customization service that consistently produces good product, so that gives us more flexibility in pricing.
