Keeping Prices Fair: Our Commitment to Value in Uncertain Times

The Cost of Living Crisis

There has been a great deal of talk in the media recently. Concerns over so-called ‘greedflation’ dominate the conversation. Most of us are concerned over the impact of rising costs. Domestic bills, groceries, and mortgage repayments continue to increase. The subsequent impact of higher interest rates affects everyone.

While there are those who suggest that companies are using inflation as a smokescreen, debate continues. Some claim businesses raise their prices over and above the costs passed on to them. The companies themselves appear quick to disagree. Nevertheless, consumer trust has been affected.

The Shrinkflation Phenomenon

There also appears to be a trend where producers reduce product size. They reduce the size or weight of their products to reduce costs. However, they keep the original price the same. This practice has been labelled as ‘shrinkflation’ in the media.

Consumers notice when their favourite chocolate bar becomes smaller. They notice when their cereal box contains less. The price remains unchanged, but the value diminishes. This erodes trust between businesses and customers.

A Different Approach to Pricing

While there is undoubtedly increased financial pressure upon businesses, not all respond the same way. It is evident that not all organisations are quick to follow suit. Some businesses choose to absorb costs rather than pass them on.

At My Garden Studio, our business ethos is clear. We supply a product that uses high-quality materials and excellent design. We support those looking to work from home effectively. With a straightforward focus on creating small modular garden buildings, our mission remains constant. Our studios can be used as a garden office, working studio, or simply a quiet space.

This small manufacturer has not lost touch with reality. We understand just how important a cost-effective, yet high-quality build can be. Remote workers and those developing a business from their property need reliable solutions. They need fair pricing they can trust.

Our Commitment to Stable Pricing

Despite inflationary pressures, we have maintained our pricing strategy carefully. We have not increased the price of our products unnecessarily. Moreover, the size of our buildings remains unchanged. The quality of our materials remains unchanged also.

This shows that not all organisations look to push their costs on to consumers. We are instead willing to absorb those costs where possible. We support our customers at a time of great economic concern.

• 100mm insulation: Full insulation in walls, floors, and roofs
• Premium materials: Recycled composite cladding, UPVC windows and doors
• Complete electrics: LED lighting, double sockets, WiFi-controlled heating

How We Maintain Value

How do we keep prices stable while maintaining quality? Several strategies help us achieve this:

1. Efficient Manufacturing

We use precision cutting technology in our workshop. This creates templates from sheet materials carefully. Very little waste results from this approach. Furthermore, it prevents mistakes that can lead to significant wastage over time.

2. Strong Supplier Relationships

We maintain excellent relationships with our suppliers. Long-term partnerships allow for better pricing stability. We source materials sustainably and efficiently. This helps us manage costs without compromising quality.

3. Direct Sales Model

We sell directly to customers without intermediaries. No showrooms mean lower overheads. These savings are passed on to you. You receive better value as a result.

4. Controlled Growth

We grow our business sustainably and carefully. Rather than rapid expansion with high overheads, we focus on quality. This allows us to maintain competitive pricing. Our customers benefit from this approach.

Transparency in Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing from the start. Our quotes include everything you need:

• Full materials and construction costs
• Delivery and installation (location-dependent)
• All electrical work and certification
• Warranties and after-sales support

No hidden costs appear later. No shrinkflation tactics reduce what you receive. What we quote is what you get.

Quality That Lasts Decades

The best way to provide value is through longevity. Our garden studios are built to last 30+ years. Over that lifespan, the cost per year becomes remarkably low.

Consider an eSnug Plus at £10,900. Over 30 years, that’s just £363 per year. That’s £30 per month for a high-quality, versatile space. Compare this to renting office space at £200-500+ per month. The value becomes clear immediately.

Supporting Customers During Difficult Times

We understand that economic uncertainty makes large purchases challenging. That’s why we offer flexible finance options through Ideal4Finance:

• 0% APR for 12 or 24 months
• 7.9% APR for 36 months
• 9.9% APR for 48 months

This makes your garden studio investment more accessible. Spread the cost while benefiting from the space immediately.

Value Beyond the Price Tag

True value isn’t just about the initial price. It’s about what you receive over the lifetime of your investment:

• Energy efficiency: Lower running costs year after year
• Minimal maintenance: Quality materials require little upkeep
• Property value increase: Add up to 10% to your home value
• Versatility: Multiple uses over decades of ownership
• Reliability: Comprehensive warranties protect your investment

Our Promise to You

At My Garden Studio, we promise to maintain our commitment to fair pricing. We will continue to absorb costs where possible. We will never compromise on quality to reduce expenses. We will remain transparent about what you receive for your investment.

In uncertain economic times, you deserve a business partner you can trust. We’re here for the long term, just like our garden studios.
