<p>My leisure goods client, <a href="http://www.mgdonline.co.uk/"><span class="caps">MGD</span> Online</a>, has noted a greatly increased demand for their Royal Camping Twin Tub Washing Machines.</p>

This can promote many long-tail items, where there are enough competitors that also sell it for Google’s little row of picture thumbnail ads.</p>
<p><span class="caps">MGD</span> ordered more stock and sold out. Royal nationally also sold out.<br />
These sales were out-of-season, from late winter through our coldest, wettest, spring for many years.</p>
<p>We discussed who was buying these?<br />
These can only take a 2kg dry load, so are they for one-person homes with limited space? Or is it the low £70 price point?<br />
I considered the dwindling role of the second-hand market to the extent that more are free-cycled.<br />
But second-hand washing machines are worth over £20 as scrap metal these days I was told!</p>
<p>The housing crisis and tough jobs market are seeing more people living in accommodation that is more akin to camping. So these low-cost, economical and environmental twin-tubs have become popular. You can use both tubs at the same time to process the small 2kg batches.</p>
<p>So what about the second-hand market?<br />
A brief search shows that there are many good machines available. Most are in the £70-£200 price range and all must be picked up.<br />
So portability could also be a factor where people move with the work, together with a price new that matches the second-hand price.</p>
<p>With access to a van and internet then free-cycling a real option.<br />
But for those actively looking for these twin-tubs, <span class="caps">MGD</span> have good stock levels, ready to ship.</p><p class="answer">Writing about web page <a href="http://www.mgdonline.co.uk/products/royal-twin-tub-washing-machine.php" title="Related external link: http://www.mgdonline.co.uk/products/royal-twin-tub-washing-machine.php">http://www.mgdonline.co.uk/products/royal-twin-tub-washing-machine.php</a></p>
