Title: Is their much profit in WC Online Retail?
Post by: jo5hm4n on January 14, 2016, 04:23:44 pm
Just had a thought, thinking more towards the companies in the uk selling Trad window cleaning supplies, do you think their is much of a markup or profit to be made?  Originally i thought not, but through one of the suppliers i use, i notice in less than a month they had obviously gone through about 1000 invoices, which must mean there is clearly lots of business to be had and potential profit.

Random topic i know, but considering i used to be in online retail i just wondered if their was much of a market/profit for it.

I have no idea but your best bet is to do a lot of research first before taking the plunge.

It's also getting your stock from suppliers at a decent price so u can sell on and still be competitive

I wasn't thinking of doing this myself was just interested in the topic thats all.  If i was to do it, i would run a online only shop though with very little outlay.  That way, keep the prices low, keep the margins low, but easier to make a business like that succeed and produce repeat business and high turnover.
