FIVE REASONS WHY OTHER COMPANYS DO NOT USE 1X19 I.P.S. CABLE
It isn't because galvanized cable is a better cable.
It's due to BUSINESS ECONOMICS!
In order to understand this
you need to understand how business economics works.
Business economics involve many things such as availability,
space, inventory, cost, and marketability.
There are several other influences in economics but these are
the primary influences regarding the type of cable used in making
snares.
AVAILABILITY:
Galvanized cable is readily available. When your cable inventory
gets down to 200 feet you can re order and have it in stock a
a couple of days. On the other hand, when your inventory of I.P.S.
cable gets to 1,000 feet you need to reorder because the delivery
time is a month or more away and, by that time, perhaps the season
is all but gone for use of a particular cable diameter leaving
you with next years inventory and this years bills.
SPACE:
Many businesses operate from private real estate and "set
up shop" in a large (or small) garage, barn or other out
building. This is a good way to keep cost down but it also restricts
the amount of available space. If you rent an office or building
you pay for every single square foot of space (sometimes by the
cubic foot). The larger the inventory the larger space requirement.
Galvanized cable is readily available in small amounts of 1,000
feet (or even 100 feet) at a time which saves space for other
inventory. Because 1X19 I.P.S. (improved plow steel) cable is
not a standard cable it must be purchased in large quantities
such as 20,000 or more feet at a time. Each reel of cable can
contain anywhere from 5,000 feet to 20,000 feet depending on cable
diameter. Each reel can weigh from 150 pounds to 350 pounds and
requires more equipment to handle it taking even more space.
INVENTORY:
Because snares are made in different diameters several cable sizes
are required. The 3 most common diameters are 1/16", 5/64"
and 3/32". This can easily be handled by purchasing 1,000
feet of galvanized cable in each diameter while, with 1X19 cable,
you could easily end up with 60,000 feet of cable at considerable
expense. This would be enough cable to last most businesses 4
or 5 years but you can't pay today's bills with next years income.
Not only that but we go right back to the problem with space.
COST:
When purchased in large quantities the cost of galvanized and
I.P.S. cable is almost identical. If I.P.S. cable is available
in small quantities it is exceedingly expensive. This extra expense
would generate very little (if any) profit.
MARKETABILITY:
With the high cost of small quantities of I.P.S. cable marketing
or sales of snares for a multi inventory business would be almost
impossible if they expect any sales profit. The price increase
required to make even a nominal profit would be inhibitive to
competitive pricing..
