Stores loose money on Boxing Day sales?

[MarkoD]

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.

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?

[MarkoD]

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

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.

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!

Why should any store sell anything below their cost? At any time of the year! If people are gonna bittch about the cost of this hobby than maybe it's time to start thinking about a new one. This whole thread is pointless arguing and really what the hell is the cost of this hobby have to do with big screens? I see no connection.
