Can You Answer This Question?
"When you do a price increase do you normally issue a general overall price increase once a year or do you just pass it on when your vendor gives it to you which can be at different times of the year. Builders typically want it locked in for a year but that gets you guessing what your vendor is going to impose on you". Post your questions and answers on the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association's Facebook group page. You must be a member to participate.
