Tip #21 Getting the Most out of Your Corn Cob Pipe: American vs Chinese Pipes
April 142010
As proud as I am of America, I’m not blind to the fact that there have been many cases where American businesses have allowed the quality of their product to slide, while continuing to increase the price. When a competitor comes to market with a better product, or a “value engineered” product, the original supplier needs to pick-up their game. Missouri Meerschaum has outlasted dozens of competitors from the USA over their 130+ years in business here in the USA, but Chinese suppliers have one distinct advantage: They are government owned. That means if they have a strategic reason for getting into a market, they can “buy” it by lowering their profits to unsustainable levels, even below cost. Why would they do that? To kill the competition. If Missouri Meerschaum were to succumb to the pressure of cut-rate Chinese imports, leaving only the Chinese to supply our needs, what do you think would happen to the price? What would happen to the quality?
Don’t buy Missouri Meerschaum pipes out of guilt or due to my manipulation; but rather because they are a superior product. I make several other points in the video and would love your comments.
