Setting right price for selling wardrobes in store

Post by Guest » 18.02.2008, 10:53

I make since this week wardrobes... I am going to produce between 14000 and 25000 wardrobes a week. I have a 100m2 and 200m2 joinery and a 20m2 store...

I want to sell weekly amounts so i do not have any work needed for the sales... What should i do now... BTW... Iproduce q9 steel, and q8 wood so that will make q4 wardrobes

I have read some threads about selling in stores, but i don't get it...

please help! Regards

use reference price which you calculate from the price of materials you use for a wardrobe (on market, not production prices) - you may also use the price one of the big wardrobe merchants pays for q4, and from that calculate the optimum price for your stores:

profit per unit * number of units sold in certain time

or

(price in store - reference price) / time required to sell fixed amount of wardrobes

it should be somewhere near 3k per wardrobe if i remember correctly

there is no way he could sell lvl 4 wardrobes for 3k in a 20m2 store...
and that of a total 300m2 joinery....

not to mention he needs a lot of adds...

there is no way anyone can sell all wardrobes he produces in 300 sqm joinery in a single 20 sqm store unless he shoots into his own knee and sells at below even production costs :roll:

BUT

if you sell at 3k you have decent profit in every building involved (power plant, well, plantation, mine, factory, joinery, furniture store), if you sell below 1840 it is pointless to have furniture store at all since that is the price a big furniture merchant offers for q4 wardrobes.

now try calculating how much money you make per employee per hour by selling those wardrobes in a tiny little 20 sqm shop at a price you think is suitable. and how much money you make if you sell some wardrobes at 3k and sell all remaining wardrobes via contract to another player.
