Been landscaping for years 12 and about to make a move to be a retail supplier as well as continue and try to generate additional business with this home base/supply shop theory. My main research so far has been what can I buy products for and what can i sell for=RETAIL We have found that many supply shops are poorly managed and have unorganized time wasting procedures that make a competitive opportunity for us. YOUR THOUGHTS?
My main questions are if anyone knows of or actually owns a retail business, what products make a higher profit per unit. Example I am currently able to purchase sod for .90-.95 per yard and can sell for 1.4-1.55. basically this equates to making roughly 50 dollars per pallet. So I have been predicting about how much i can sell in a season getting est profit ect. Doing this for every product we will offer and again wondering where the main profit is. Anyone know about Brick, currently purchase for 1.74 sq unilock holland what would i get it for 1.00?? Love to discuss these things and take this to next level please leave your thoughts and ideas, profit knowledge ect it would be highly appreciated. Also any resources.
This questions comes on the heels of talking with successful supply owner and wondering where exactly is this major profit conming from? Thanks again.
