I discount my stuff between 15% and 25% depending on the store. I prefer to do that on large orders just to get more inventory out the door and have people see it on other people.
thanks, Shane_G, for your response. I figured out what i could give and she was happy.
Thanks, Rodney. She was wanting an additional discount for a large order on top of what she was getting my shirts at for wholesale. I had never been asked that before so I was not sure how to handle the situation. I threw a small discount in and she was happy.
One way to give additional discounts is to encourage early payment on the order.
I've seen places give an additional 1-3% discount for orders paid in advance, paid by check, or paid with 5 days.
This seems to be a win/win for both parties. You get paid faster and the retailer feels like they are getting an even better deal to increase their margins.
I think that that is a great idea, Rodney. In fact, I offered that up first, but she pays net terms. So, the chance of her paying within the 15 day window I thought of offering up was not going to happen.
