Selling items wholesale requires specific planning and preparation. If you are a manufacturer or a distributor, you need to establish a set pricing strategy for your business.

The distribution price is the price you set for other vendors who will purchase and redistribute your products. Your company’s pricing strategy should account for your distributors’ needs as well as your own.
If your prices are too high, your clients will find another supplier with a lower price. If your fees are too low, you might undervalue your products and lose out on profit. It can also be harder to negotiate higher prices if you start with low prices.
An effective manufacturing or distribution pricing model considers all sides and helps you adjust as needed to match your inventory status and profit goals.
Before you develop a pricing model, you should understand how to collect data. This data will help you determine your pricing margin scope. You should also know your total costs in terms of production, labor and transportation. With this information, you can better understand what your profit goal should be.
Revenue Management Labs offers data collection as part of our pricing strategies. We consider industry trends and updates when we work to create a financial plan for your business.
After you have gathered your data, you can then break down pricing and costs. There are a few different steps to develop an effective pricing model.
