Pricing Strategy Notes

  • Wholesale Price: Standard 40% wholesale discount from retail price
  • Profit Margin: Calculated after COGS and wholesale discount
  • DTC Channel: Highest margins (direct to consumer, no middleman)
  • Amazon/Retail: Lower margins due to fulfillment costs and retailer cuts
  • Viability Threshold: Profit/unit must be positive after COGS

Important: Retailer-Specific Considerations

This model provides a baseline pricing guideline. Retailers have different rebate structures, back-in models, co-op programs, and promotional allowances that will impact your actual profitability. Major retailers negotiate custom terms including slotting fees, co-op advertising, volume rebates, returns/markdown allowances, and warehouse fees.
