Hi there,
I did not know where else to post this.
I am thinking of starting a very small electronics KIT business (a few KITs for start) just for hobby.
I want to sell my (RF mainly) kits, worldwide, so I would like to do a bit of survey on it.
I would like your oppinion/proposals/ideas on the next few things:
1. Would you prefer a KIT that is of higher quality (components etc) but more expensive, from a kit that is of low quality but cheap (like the Asian-made ones)? In other words, will the quality convince you to buy the KIT, even if the price is quite higher?
2. Would you prefer the KIT to be pre-assembled (and so without any assembly instructions) and tested ready to work (and so a bit more expensive), or a KIT that comes unassembled together with assembly instructions?
3. Some kits may come in two options. The cheaper and feature-less one, and the more expensive but full featured one. For example, in a receiver, the narrow CW filter, may be available only in the full featured version of it. Would you prefer to have the cheaper or the more expensive version?
4. Will a KIT convince you more to buy it, if things like ROHS compatible, free email technical support or free shipping (even if shipping is "hidden" in the KIT value) are available? Are such things of any value to you?
5. Would you prefer an easy, clean graphics and fast to navigate and buy site (few items though) or a complex e-commerce site (require for registration etc)?
It would be nice to know about how do you think about these things. Let me know if you have more suggestions as well.
