Call for price? I barely call my own family

That’s usually for business tier products. Household items almost always use the “shopping cart” feature.

I don’t get mad or anything it just makes me go “oh I’m too poor” than I move on.

“Call for price” is just “we’re about to waste your time” in a nicer font.

This is how you get Steinway spam forever. I was just curious.

That’s like giving a free trial for streaming and requiring a credit card.
I should just be able to type in a trial code not go through an entire registration process for a product I’m not sure I even want.

I’m like this with “add to cart to see price” too. That’s too much work.

That’s like Canadian tire with tires. They never want to tell you the price on flyers

All that “call for price” tells me is that they make it up on the spot based on what you ask for and where you are calling from.

That’s literally what they want. You aren’t the customer for them.

Those things are being targeted at businesses where quotes, labor, and special deliveries fees have to be considered. Not everything is amazon.

Most of the time the reason they don’t show the price is because not everyone pays the same.
A bigger company/person will be given a discount because they either want them as a return customer (deep pockets, steady income, etc.) or they’re trying to sell to them in bulk. Also makes it easier to sell overpriced products if potential customers have to speak with a sales rep getting paid commission to sell them a product.

Request Pricing type verbage signals B2B. B2C will give a checkout or cart. Shops in real life allow you as the customer, to go in, scan the thing, and leave. As a business you cannot scan a product that requires a background check and extensive onboarding or large bulk items like 100 industrial iron beams.
Edit: if this isnt the case, its more likely an amateur or new SME business still finding its footing online. There are a lot of mom and pop type stores which havent figured out the technicalities of ecommerce.

It means you’re shopping above your tier, homie. 😂
You aren’t their target audience.
Most of those sites sell in bulk which are for businesses, not individuals. Or their products incredibly specific and specialized which is obviously very expensive and depends on various factors.

What’s even the point of having a website if you’re not going to give all the information on it.

I’ve known companies who did this to “get around” MAP policies. You can’t advertise a product for under MAP, but if someone calls in, nothing stops you from discounting their order. I doubt this is what is going on most of the time, though.

In truth, they are probably happy to see you bounce because they have very little interest in dealing with normal individuals.
Their goal with those prompts is to make you talk to a sales person who can discover two things:
1) Are you going to buy enough product to even make it worth their while to deal with you?
2) How deep are your pockets? (How much can they price gouge you?)

likeee, customers calling to know the price takes away the impulse effect

I wish we could gather as a large group to all call a single business doing this shit to ask for a price, and follow whatever they say with “nope too expensive” then hang up
Surely after 100 or 200 calls they’d decide to put up their price…

The car dealership I worked at put “call for price” on some used cars because they hadn’t actually had time to appraise it yet. It was just a placeholder for the first day or two until they had time to actually estimate its value and take some photos, but they wanted the mileage and model listed on the website in case anyone was interested.

“Call for price” is just corporate for we think you can’t afford it anyway.
