There are a lot of factors that can influence the profitability and a retailer’s bottom line. Setting the right price is a crucial step towards achieving that wanted profit. One of the main objectives of retailers is to make a profit, but figuring out what and how to price products may not be as easy as it seems.
Before you can determine which retail pricing strategy to use in setting the right price for your retail products, you must first know the costs associated with the products. Two key elements in factoring product cost is the cost of goods and the amount of operating expense.
The cost of goods includes the amount paid for the product, plus any shipping or handling expenses. The cost of operating the business, or operating expense, includes overhead, payroll, marketing and office supplies.
Regardless of the pricing strategy used, the retail price of the products should more than cover the cost of obtaining the goods plus the expenses related to operating the business. A retailer simply cannot succeed in business if they continue to sell their products below cost.
