Why Kitchen Packages Make Sense
Kitchen Packages at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Why do manufacturers offer a rebate (ie. a lower price) for ordering a complete kitchen package than the combined price if you bought each one separately? You'd think that it costs them the same to build a refrigerator whether it is sold as part of a kitchen package or not, wouldn't you? There are a couple of very good reasons for package pricing. Of course, the actual manufacturing cost of a refrigerator does not change whether it is sold as part of a package or not. And Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) is always there to help whether you are buying just one appliance or a complete set. However, there is a cost to acquiring a customer, including advertising and other marketing costs that manufacturers incur just to get a customer. So, if you are going to buy a kitchen full of appliances (range, vent hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator) the acquisition cost of 1 customer for 4 appliances is 1/4 the acquisition cost of 4 customers for 4 appliances. Makes sense then that GE is willing to offer up to a $500 rebate on a new set of their new Cafe Series GE appliances.

Every additional appliance you purchase from a given manufacturer is one less that you purchase from their competitor. Therefore, they -
