videoeditor1 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 If a piece of merchandise cost $10 to build/assemble and deliver to the point of sale, and is being sold for $16.00 but the venue takes a 20% commission ($3.20), the venue has, in reality received 50% of your net/gross profit! It means that one would be required to have cost:sale ratio of at least 1:1.75 in order to see a healthy profit (40%). Sure, these venues provide the space, and the staff...but has anyone (here) done this type of sale and crunched the numbers? NYC Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveMusic Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I don't know anything about it really but the price of stuff at events is very high. Like an item costing maybe $5 sells for $20. Which would sell elsewhere for $15. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Eldon Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 We get T-Shirts for $4.50 for adult sizes, $5.50 for smaller sizes, we charge $10, and in the rare case that the venue takes a percentage of merchandising, we load out before they ask.

D. Gauss Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 i believe last summer, t-shirts for bon jovi, limp donkey dick, and other major acts were selling at $38 bucks a pop. the cost can be under 4 dollars to manufacture. that leaves a bit of room for a profit to be made -d. gauss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barandine Vondenger Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 you ain't chargin enough. . buy for two cents sell for five cents. or six cents or nine cents or fifteen cents and to the trump-ettes and the woodleys and the jaggers you charge them enough to MAKE THEM SAY OUCH.. . Your cost is a tenner.. YOW(is there some GOLDE in it?) then you ONLY makin a bit after costs and feckin venny is yankin the teat pretty muchly. what do you want ? for them to LOOK or for them to BUY? a loaded question I know. If you look at your buyers it's really quite simple to extrapolate thence at what levels of value at which to market your targeted goodes so they'll be well received. maybe a resourceful renegotiate on TERMS and just charge more for your product.. . heck NOT EVER BODY will have one of the high end thangs so put some hanky pank junk er uh I mean that is uh offer less expensive, more profit friendly items(for you)out too; kerchiefs/stickers for the po' folke.. monied folkes will spend it; so choke em. po' bo' want sumpin' for hid' lady too 'dough. ECONOMICS my seven cents a track werf . me at night me as ray charles me teachin my baby frawg to eat on his own . the end that is all..

Nothing I've been sourcing has been under $7.50 qty of 1000. None of that sretched out neck stuff - Is any of the stuff for sale online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
