  • Propane also known as liquid petroleum gas is
    the most versatile sources of energy and fuel. It
    is not only used for back door barbeques but has
    a variant of other uses, including powering water
    heaters, dryers, ovens, stoves, forklifts and
    refrigerators. Checkout tmpropane.com for more
    info.
  • As costs of other sources of energy such as
    gasoline rise, so does propane costs, though it
    is relatively cheaper than gas and gasoline. The
    price rises are as a result of fluctuations in
    supply and demand equilibrium. As the demand for
    propane increases, the prices also go up because
    propane is produced in a steady rate year round
    by refineries and gas processing plants.

  • In recent times, more people prefer propane
    to other energy sources for three reasons
  • -Increased comfort propane delivers more comfort
    than electricity, a propane furnace heats faster
    and warmer than an electric heater.
  • -Increased value Propane furnaces have advanced
    controls and new features for safe and efficient
    operations.
  • -Less pollution Propane is a clean fuel for home
    use and less harmful than wood, heating oil or
    coal.
  • Propane prices are actually a function of
    the market and demand though there other factors
    that a company factors in, including overheard
    costs and insurance costs. Since propane prices
    are not government regulated, suppliers are
    responsible for setting their own prices. For
    competitive reasons, a company should deliver
    cheap propane to attract and retain clients while
    still making profits at the same time.

  • One strategy to use to be able to
    deliver relatively cheap propane is the use of
    different delivering strategies for the different
    types of customers. It would seem that there are
    fewer propane filling stations in some locations
    and use of delivery strategies by propane
    suppliers to deliver it directly to clients'
    homes would be cheaper. Exchange and delivery of
    propane tanks are quicker and easier for the
    customer than incurring extra transport costs to
    get the propane tanks. The delivery strategies
    include
  • a. Off route propane delivery or special delivery
    charge, which is the minimum amount a customer,
    would have to pay for delivery during normal
    hours.
  • b. Emergency delivery charge whereby a customer
    requests a delivery after normal business hours,
    the charge for this would be slightly higher than
    the special delivery charges.

  • c. The automatic delivery charge is for
    consistent and predictable customers who want to
    control their delivery. It is based on known and
    estimated propane consumption. Clients who pay
    the automatic delivery charges may at times be
    saved from the propane price fluctuations this is
    because it makes it possible for the supplier to
    pre-budget for them. In some cases, companies
    usually give discounts and fixed prices for
    regular customers.Have a look at tmpropane for
    more info on this.
  • Clients should time their propane
    delivery during summer months when the costs are
    typically lower and if possible, they should
    purchase as much as they can afford to do so
    during lower demand periods. Propane Companies
    wishing to gain competitive advantage over their
    rivals should at such times offer discounts for
    customers doing bulk purchasing. This will enable
    them to gain from increased sales volumes as the
    demands and supply at such times are usually at
    equilibrium.
