Pricing
 

As consumers, you guys really don't know how spoiled you are. Especially in Calgary and Vancouver.

This is feeling like beating a dead horse though...

oh yeah. my original point:

having a doorcrasher item which is below cost will bring customers in the door and give you the potential to up sell them or sell them additional things and build a rapport with them. Opening the door for future business.

this is not an argument and you dont have to respond. this is my opinion and if I had a retail store I would run it this way.

Why is'nt this thread in the lounge?

?

Where did you get your numbers for 30 % and 50% then and how does this back up the original point you stated on page 5?

page 5 was the previous page.


and what i said on page one was

"I think it's more like 30% on dry goods and 50% on livestock"

but i later corrected myself

If anyone thinks stores lose money on boxing day sales I have a couple extra bridges I will sell them! lol

I'm happy to see you own bridges, in BC at $3 to $5 a car you could make some serious money.

Unless you own a store in my industry your opinion is just that, your opinion.

So you know, I'm available anytime to consult on the big money to be made in the Salt Water Aquarium Industry...until then im just hoping to find people who own bridges to keep buying.

Really....i wish that was true, not many retailers sell live inventory....and when they do not many sell it with pics online.

People want to buy what they see with online products, so i have a zoo frag 1 and zoo frag 2...and we cant just order them that way....

In most other industries....you order a watch, a coffee machines, a ipad, a ipod they have individual sku's but you can produce them by the 100's of thousands....so how many zoo's look exactly the same...name many...and you expect to buy what you see....

Hence individual sku for each of the 1500 items i had in two of the 10 coral tanks we have in our store....thats a difficult proposition....

IMHO

[quote=OceanAquatics;665439]Sorry I can't keep buying as I bought too many bridges I can't sell! lol
I am not saying you are making big money but I know you are not selling items for less than your cost on boxing day!
