The way to make a small business bigger

More sales at lower prices, more sales

More sales at lower prices refers to the strategy of expanding sales at lower prices and lower profits. Thin profit" in the "thin profit" is to reduce prices, reduce prices can be "more sales", "more sales" can increase total revenue. The key to selling more at lower profit margins is that when the price of the good falls, the increase in demand (sales) is greater than the fall in price (and ultimately the total profit increases).

Now, the market is becoming more and more perfect, all kinds of business are people do, so do small business to set a high price to earn high profits of the road is not feasible. Prices set high, scare people away. Look on the place how good profits, not sold, the profit experience does not come out, equal to zero! Moreover, the inventory backlog of funds, business is like this: not to earn or lose! At the same time, did not do business, but also reduces the opportunity to deal with others in the future.

In fact, the way of doing business with small profits and high sales, has a long history." Noble on the pole is the opposite of cheap, cheap down the pole is the opposite of noble". Sima Qian said, "greed to buy three dollars, cheap to buy five dollars", that is to say, the greedy businessman can only profit 30%, while the businessman can make 50% profit. Han Gaozu Liu Bang's strategist Zhang Liang, the early years from the teacher of the Huangshi Gong, during the day to sell scissors, come back to study at night, and then he felt that the time to study is not enough, so the scissors are divided into the upper, middle, and lower three classes, the price of the upper class remains unchanged, the middle of the price of the original price of the basis of a penny, the lower class of the penny less than two. As a result, in only half a day, the number of scissors sold was twice as many as usual, and the money earned was twice as much as usual.
