in a land of fantasy where computer components yield 50% margin and everybody rides around in boats on a sea of money? :o

Just out of curiousity, what are an average day's takings for OCUK?

depends on the time of year. This isnt really information that I can share though. I am sure you understand.

We aren't doing bad at all in fairness. Some people must think the deals are ok as the warehouse staff seem fairly busy but I'm just sat here setting up products and responding to your daft posts.

Evidently we're not offering the right kind of products for oulton, with his considerable wages we should be offering heavy discounts on faberge eggs & diamond encrusted bluetooth dongles.

It frightens me that people in this thread have very little understanding how the world around them actually works.

That list of deals I posted, is pretty much entirely covered by manufacturer rebates where the manufacturers put money in to feature their products on the deals.

Lets look at an example.

I am currently making a -16%+ loss on every RGB keyboard that I sell on black friday. This will be resolved via a rebate to allow me to break even at the end of the promotion.

This rings true for a lot of the other stuff on there.

Black Friday deals are heavily supported in our industry to generate sales and brand awareness. Someone having a Corsair keyboard for cheap is likely to go around the forums he posts on for the following year telling everyone about how great his corsair keyboard is. This is called marketing and this word of mouth method is very effective in online arenas such as forums and social media.

Seriously, if you think that we should be making 20%/30%/50% margin, Gibbo says you should send your CV because he wants to give you a Job.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well the 10%+ net profit has to come from somewhere. You have a shop and warehouse costs to cover, wages, advertising, website infrastructure, rates, insurance etc etc so I was making an educated guess in saying that your margins will be 20-30% (which isnt a lot compared to other retailing sectors like white goods where its 100-200% )

If your margins are less than your net profit, I wonder what business ocuk does which generates all the profit? Haribo smuggling I reckon ;)
