How much discount can I offer without losing money?
Minimum profitable price = COGS divided by (1 - minimum target margin). If cost is $22 and you need 20% margin, minimum price = $22 / 0.80 = $27.50. Never discount below this.
Should stores run discounts that produce zero margin?
Occasionally, break-even promotions make sense to acquire new customers whose LTV justifies the short-term loss. Calculate LTV:CAC ratio before approving any loss-leading promotion.
What are effective Black Friday strategies beyond deep discounts?
Bundle products to maintain margin while appearing to offer value. Create limited bundles, gift sets, or bonus add-ons rather than discounting core products below minimum margin.
