Looks like the share price has found its level. Now to see if it can build back up from it.

Spend 12 years developing a software stack for end to end PPD. Check.
Sign up major suppliers/printers. Check.
Provide free tools to distributors that makes their lives easier, saves then money, improves efficiency, allows full email marketing campaigns with CRM, account management and order tracking. Check.
Provide end users with a free customised website that allows them to order online rather than traditional phone/email. Allows them to further customise the logo if they so wish. Provides next day delivery rather than a two day proofing turn around. Gives them order tracking and invoicing. Check.

Give it all away for free. Check.
Then give them an extra discount. Fail.

Btw the discount applies to the order value. What else would it apply to?

[allstar4eva] 21/2/2017 20:49

If there is no hurdle why do 100% of users with website not use it given all of the advantages?

[allstar4eva] 21/2/2017 20:31

You would discount the online method vs traditional.

[allstar4eva] 21/2/2017 20:30

They have to design no? Using artworktool?

[sheep_herder] 21/2/2017 19:28

It's a website. The end user clicks buy, enters their payment details once, and jobs a goodun. The distributor clicks "authorise" on the order and it appears at the printers.

And how do you discount something that's free? It strikes me that you don't understand the business model or the technology.

[allstar4eva] 21/2/2017 19:14

I think you underestimate it. They need to learn how to use a new application - it is effectively a new business process. I think some kind of initial? discount could be useful.

[sheep_herder] 21/2/2017 13:15

There's no hurdle to the end user aside from some of the older generations needing a bit of guidance on what the internet is.

The benefits are numerous and what the whole business model is built on.

[allstar4eva] 21/2/2017 13:12

The website is free fpr distributers. That's cool the website is more efficient for them fine but what is the benefit to the end user? This is where I think a discount could be useful as there is a hurdle in terms of tue end user learning to use the software no?

[allstar4eva] 21/2/2017 13:09

Yes but the end user what is the advantage to them?

[sheep_herder] 21/2/2017 12:57

What are you two on about? It's free to the distributors already and the whole point is that the added efficiencies lead to more business.

[ihatemms] 21/2/2017 12:53

Yes Melf - that would be a good idea. Once Distributors are hooked - they'll continue using the same platform. Let's hope there will be initial incentives to kick distributors off - after that should be a piece of cake.

[melf] 21/2/2017 12:50

I wonder if it would be worth the company foregoing some of its GP margin as a cash incentive to hook distributors. Say, for instance, a 2.5% discount for the first 3 months.

[ihatemms] 21/2/2017 12:39

The Aprinta page has changed - showing the simplicity of the whole process and the tech advances - the marketing drive continues.

[ihatemms] 21/2/2017 11:10

Okay - own up - who's bought 55k in the background this morning. Somebody recognises the bargain @ 77p

[stephen1946] 21/2/2017 09:05

Talk of 40p and other figures is infantile and way wide of the mark, serious discussion seems to have been replaced by school yard language.

Altitude is in better shape now the board has been re-structured.

The board is fundamentally made up of number crunchers now, top drawer numbers crunchers, i might add. Altitude will be shedding quite a number of staff throughout its operations due to already announced plans to streamline the business which, by its very nature, needs less staff, the current board are the men to do the exercise, efficiently and quickly.

Plus that same board, with their vast financial expertise, will know very quickly where to make changes and incorporate the "brand new aspects of the new business."

Martin Varley? We havent lost him, we have released him from the ball and chain of day to day running of Altitude's current business and we have sent him as, President or 'Chief Operations Officer' around the various centres of our business, to secure more deals and nurture and grow existing deals, a task that would have been impossible in his role previously as, Chief Execcutive officer.

In my humble opinion, Alt have proved again that they are ahead of the game by making contentious changes that will, very shortly, prove to be extremely wise.

40p? I think not.

[hitsha1] 20/2/2017 21:27

okay, lets talk it down to 40p and fill our boots,i am quite happy to pick few more at 40p, my personal view, i think it wont be to long before we hear decent news. reverse psychology.

[sheep_herder] 20/2/2017 19:49

40p. This ain't going up until the next wave of excitement. Get your boots ready!

[robbnw] 20/2/2017 19:13

Well if it's 50 fill your boots !

[bpc10] 20/2/2017 18:32

50p or £1 the next stop?

[rem108] 20/2/2017 16:50

robbnw,well done- spot on

[robbnw] 20/2/2017 15:44

Guys Stay firm and focusedFew smaller shareholders got nervous and sold This is a long gameAim to £2 a share and then some70 p a share is a buying opportunity in my opinion Nothing I've heard or seen changes that

[allstar4eva] 20/2/2017 14:44

Is it cheaper to use the website?

[melf] 20/2/2017 14:41

Think it may have been posted before but it may have been updated now.
