It doesn’t matter if you are in retail selling to consumers, or in a business that sells to other businesses, it is virtually impossible to create customer loyalty by being the lowest price provider. Consider this. Low price shoppers are loyal to their wallets and purses, not to the business. As soon as these price-conscious customers find a retailer or any other type of business or vendor with a lower price than the one they have been doing business with, they will move.
