DeciHaegi and other leading manufacturers are experiencing a disruption in international transportation for the lithium batteries that power their e-scooters due to problems with Back Bay Battery, a major battery source. Not only are they unable to meet demand and short-term orders for e-scooters, but they must also consider increasing the prices of their e-scooters to offset increases in pricing for alternative options. What is the feedback on the decision to negotiate a lower price for the next order of e-scooters from Haegi?
1) Veratti can negotiate a lower price for more e-scooters, but this will not address the new consumer option of an e-scooter owned outright.
2) Veratti would experience a switching cost to move to Finesse, which would not necessarily pay off in reduced costs.
3) Increasing promotion would spur demand for Veratti e-scooters and increase revenue.
