Frequently Asked Questions

What's a typical wholesale margin?

Wholesale margins typically range from 15-50% depending on the industry. Consumer goods often see 25-40% margins, while specialty products may command higher margins.

How do I set volume discount tiers?

Common tiers include 5% off for 100+ units, 10% off for 500+ units, and 15-20% off for 1000+ units. Balance attracting large orders with maintaining profitability.

What's the relationship between wholesale and retail price?

Retail prices are typically 2-2.5x wholesale (keystone markup). This leaves room for retailer profit while keeping products competitively priced for consumers.

How do I set minimum order quantities (MOQ)?

MOQs should cover your handling costs and make orders profitable. Consider factors like packaging (case packs), shipping efficiency, and administrative costs per order.
