How much markup does a clothing retailer use? -

If you own or run a clothing shop, your answer would be really valuable. The clothing that I am selling retails at �45 per polo shirt, I am trying to get an idea of the price you would expect to be able to buy it at.If you could please let me know the size of your store and the minimum order you would expect to make if you were to buy that would be very kind.Thanks

Keystone is the retail markup usually about 120% meaning if bought at ten is retailed at twenty-two. by doing so even a fifty percent markdown makes money. Keystone means 100% over wholesale which is different in most all departments or specialty stores especially where wholesale is greater. In towels and tissues it s between 20 - 30% but clothing it s about 120% plus, I was a buyer for Bullock s Wilshire where I bought stuff for 35 and sold them for 105 with a fifty percent mark down I was making some big profits. Even worse is womens shoes where they buy a ten dollar sandal and sell them for eighty

I have owned and operated a small business, non clothing, but I believe, and hopefuly you will get conformation on this, but I belileve that the larger stores work on a 12 to 17% markup. An educated guess would be that they buy a $45 shirt for about $38. Hope this helps, and look for others in this exact business. Take care.

The same stores every other town has. Banks, food stores, jewelry stores, laundromats, etc.

In Texas, they all have a Dairy Queen.

Can i fool a vending machine with two 5 cent pieces? -

You know a vending machine might be the only thing YOU might be able to fool. Think about it.

No.But you can fool people, a very good trick i came accross while at school is.. Wait until no one is arround then switch off or unplug the machine you want somthing from. The light will turn off but somtimes people just dont notice. They will stupidly put there money into the machine while its switched off, press the button for a drink or whatever they want. Nothing will happen. They will either leave it, Or go ask some one for help or there money back, as they go to find the person switch it back on. Then you can either press the button to get ur money back and you can have a free ��1 or you can choose a drink of your choice :) Wont even need the two 5 cent peices. Just make sure you get it quick then leave. I did it once but everyone just left it when they lost there money, In the end like 6 people had done it, I walked over turned it on and all the drinks they had chosen fell out, was stocked up for the rest of the week :) for free! Diffrent machines work diffrently, Just figure out how they work and you wont need to pay again.

If you put two nickels into a vending machine, it will credit you with ten cents. That s not fooling it in any way. What do you think is going to happen? Do you think it will somehow think the nickels are quarters, or dollars? That s not going to happen. The machines can tell one type of coin from another.

You could try, but I doubt it would work. Also I would be careful with trying to rock the machine - more people are killed by falling vending machines than sharks each year.

no, cuz each coin has a specific type n size that will fitr in another small box (inside-the-machine)..but keep tryinh maybe it happens...

Only if they weigh exactly the same as the coin you want to replace .

If your really stealthy!!!Tie it with a string and swiftly pull it back~~Hehe

no unfortunatley..i tried that once..an alarm went off.haha

NO.

no.

just rock it back and forth.. you get more candy.

nooope lo i tried that a lot

of course u can!!!!! duh?

Can anyone tell me what this actually means. (Business, wholesale)? -

HelloI m thinking of starting a small business. I m currently looking to buy products and found a few legit english wholesalers which have good wholesale prices. I m wanting to know if the 15% VAT is included in the prices and it says: All our offers are not-binding. All prices are net prices, value added tax and carriage costs are added in final invoicing. Im not sure what this actually means. I took business in school but it was a good few years back. Can anyone explain who know quite a bit about business what this actually means. On the wholesale website the prices are next to the product and i click add to chart and just like any other sales website it just adds it all into a basket then you check out but i have a limit to spend and don t want to go over therefore i d like to be careful and need to know if the VAT is included. Hope you don t mind helping and thank you very much! (:Ste.

Wholesale prices don t usually include VAT. This because they are selling to businesses ( who are vatable). To a wholesaler and the retailer VAT is irrelevant--it is only a concern to the customer as he/she is the one who pays for it. Carriage is also priced seperately as the retailer needs to know the pure cost of the product.

When buying wholesale the prices shown are usually before VAT. So, whatever you add to your basket needs 15% VAT added to it, plus the carriage charge. Carriage is probably added to the total of your goods and then VAT applied to the whole lot. If you buy ��92 worth of goods and there s an ��8 carriage fee, you ll have a net total of ��100, which will come to ��115 once the VAT is added.

hey man i don t quite understand that, i think that s a chinese website, im a chinese too, and i am about to graduate from school, im thinking of start my small business too, you can visit my site, i just built it,anyway i think i can help you in some way, if you do interseted in it, you can talk to me for more information, im sincere.

you are being priced on the product, the vat and carriage are added at the end, value added tax it the vat, and carriage is the transportation cost.

it means they are still going to slap on 15%VAT and charge you for post, packaging and delivery on top of the price they have quoted you for the product.

This question is very basic. If you don t know the answer then you need to seek some urgent advice and assistance, because if you attempt to trade on your own you will most likely struggle to make a profit.Value added tax = VAT.All businesses, when selling to other businesses, will quote prices excluding VAT because the vast majority of businesses are VAT registered so can claim back the VAT they pay. But, VAT has to be charged on every sale, so you need to remember that VAT will be added on to every price you see. VAT is currently 15%, but for any orders place after 31st December it will go back up to 17.5% All offers are non-binding means that they are reserving the right to change their price at any time. All prices are net prices means that it is the cost of the item only. Anything else, such as VAT or delivery will be added later. value added tax and carriage costs are added in final invoicing. This means that these costs will be added on when a final invoice total is calculated. Note that any carriage (delivery) cost quoted will almost certainly be excluding VAT as well. But if you order online these costs will be added up and shown before you have to give them your payment details.Btw, to get the best prices you almost certainly will need to find suppliers that do not advertise and allow purchase via websites. These are quasi-retailers and while they might look cheap, once you have added VAT and other costs they probably won t be much less than shop prices. Also, you need to buy in large quantities, because you get more discounts the more you buy and the delivery costs will (when calculated per item) be lower the more you buy.

How to start hotel business? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

Start by learning the real estate market in your area. Go out and check out places that are for sale. Look at hotels...when you see a educated deal...then you can act...knowing the bank will see it as a deal also..this helps you getting by with a low down payment.So, in summary, really become an expert of the market when it comes to sales prices on hotels..know what you will get for a certain price..sometimes the worst building..in the best area..can lead to a fix up job via some construction..if you can hire contractors to improve the topic place...and make money off of the contrators..is the key...Sometimes, in the United States people can often make 20-30% off the construction of hotels, etc. ( They know the market..what kinda improvements make the most money..like changing fixtures ( Light/water.) etc.
