Subject: Tariffs, Price Increases, and Market Instability

To: Our Loyal Customers, Friends, and Business Partners

Dear MaximMart Enthusiasts,

BLUF: 14% Original, 20% new, and additional “reciprocal” 34% tariff pricing will hit our products Monday, April 21st, 2025. We will not yet be implementing the additional 50% which goes into effect today, April 9th. Average price increases across all products will be between 5-19% (because we always are lower than our competition).

It is with a heavy sorrow that we have to make this post. We at MaximMart pride ourselves with giving you the exact same products, or better, at a lower price. It has always been our motto to provide the same for less and we will keep our promise. Despite the old administration’s aluminum tax hikes, despite the new administration’s trade war with most of the world, we are actively looking for ways to produce microfiber at the highest quality for the lowest price.

We won’t get into politics. We will not blame anyone. We want to be as transparent with you over our prices as when we are on the phone with you recommending products. We wish life to return to normal soon, but soon cannot come soon enough.

Eerily resembling the COVID pandemic we have been active in preventing this: we stocked up in the prior year and early this year, we have new products such as the twist loop towels and disposable mops, and since the start of this year we have been sending warning letters in our supply check emails (which all of our sales reps take time to write to each and every one of you), about potential price increases due to tariffs. What we didn’t expect was a trade war.

We hope to be as transparent as can be moving forward. Starting next Monday, April 14th 2025, we will increase our prices (eating up over 50% of the tariff ourselves) to reflect the total 68% tariff prior to today’s newest 50% additional tariff. This will result in approximately 0% to 20% price increases on every product. We will not be including the new 50% tariff because today is only the first day for what looks to be a total trade war. We will unfortunately have to include any additional tariffs into the future, and we will make another post and update on that prior to introducing them.

We want to keep you informed. We want you to not panic as we will do our best to not stock out. We want you to feel included. As we always say: do not hesitate to call. Ask us anything and we will do our best to answer and help you.

Yours truly,
MaximMart

When we tested this new product out we were expecting 300-ish cases to last us months. With any new product for our no-so-well-known company it takes ages to get the ball rolling. From customer discovery, to test and sample trials, to finally incorporating the product in day to day use, it takes a good year or so for our clientele to pick up on our creations. 

This towel was different. Within a month and a half during the holiday season of 2023 you all purchased and scooped up all of these towels. The feedback was immense and phenomenal: we knew what had to be done. The 16x16 Express wash towel is back. Despite the increases in tariffs, the Panama Canal drying up, as well as Pirates trying to capture our beloved towels, we were able to bring it back at the same price, quality, and quantity. 

Head over to our wholesale tab and pick-up your car wash express towels today. $0.35 each, no shipping (as it should be), and no tax outside Illinois and Florida. Everyone should be able to get a fair priced towel that is better in quality than the alternative. We don't gatekeep wholesale pricing from the little guy since we ourselves are that. 

-Love, the MaximMart team.

After years of perfecting, planning, and pricing, MaximMart is proud to introduce it's newest and arguably best prices product yet: the 16x16 Express Wash Cloths. Find them here: https://maximmart.com/16x16-express-wash-cloth-0.35-ea-managers-special-clone.html

What: the 16x16 Express is a masterfully crafted cloth that, in our opinion, feels on par with our professional cloth but is nearly half the price. Moreover, it undercuts our own product, the 16x16 Economy cloth by being about 7 cents less exprensive. How is this possible? We don't know! Our manager has designed this cloth from the input of car wash industry giants who use hundreds of thousands of these cloths every month, so we have no doubt these cloths are ideal for the job. This $0.35 cloth blows the competition clean out of the water, and keeps on dragging it into the forest. No one on the market does it like MaximMart.

Why: We have received numerous requests to lower our pricing on the professional and on the economy in order to suffice the evergrowing need for less and less expensive cloths for the car wash industry. We couldn't find agreement on which one to lower, as well as the car wash industry being split in two on which cloth they prefer. Moreover, we felt that as a company whose motto is "the same, for less", we fell behind our competition in this specific sector. 

How: In order to achieve this price, we worked again with industry specialists to see what the aggregate mean orders are, as well as what price point will be not only feasible, but desireable. The cloths come in cases of 300, and are sealed in 10 packs of 30. The MOQ (minumum order quantity) for the towels is 8 cases, or 2,400 cloths. This allows us to ship it expedited to your wash, and guarantees a price far lower than our competition. The order total is under $1,000 and yes, we offer free shipping without tax to anyone outside of Florida or Illinois. 

When: NOW!

Request some samples, feel the difference, and never want to switch to another car wash towel again.

Best,

MaximMart.

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away...

The Car Wash Industry was booming. All across the United States car washes began to provide towels to their customers, most of whom took them for granted or simply just took them. The microfiber industry attempted to catch up. Ample distributors tried to cheese their way through, offering cheap cloths are low prices just to reel in car wash companies to ordering bulk from them. Car washes seek the best products for their clients, yet few microfiber distributor seek out the best for their clients.

Many have caught on, since their 16x16 Pro cloths that were supposed to be 300GSM weighed just 40 grams. Or when sold an economy cloth weighing under 30 grams, their clients complained the rags were thinner than the ones at the wash across the street. The car wash industry was plagued with mutual frienships and secretive deals between companies that provided a worse product for a higher cost. That is where we step in.

All of this will change when the historic MaximMart company introduced their Car Wash Specific microfiber towels! These 16x16 Black cloths look and feel almost like our Professionals at a cost lower than our economy. Car Wash managers will be shocked; a ruse, a trick, no way this company has the gall to play this way! But yes we do.

MaximMart takes pride in providing a product that's the same that you have, at an affordable and better price for you. The only catch for these towels we have is the minimum order quantity. However, for the typical car wash that runs through hundreds of these towels a week, this will not be an issue. We are expecting these cloths to start arriving sometime next month. Request to be put on the waitlist for samples today!

Best,

Max
