I want to know, how do Costco's sale prices (coupon book) affect the markup/margins on a product? If the normal markup is less than 11%, is the sale price markup less than say 5%?
Edit: Or alternatively, are Costco sales negotiated ahead of time with the product makers so the makers are taking the cut and Costco's margins remain?
- TheSoftwareGuy 7y agoCostco doesn’t make a profit on most items it sells, and some times it even loses money. They get money almost entirely from memberships
- LanceH 7y agoI you apply membership revenue to operating costs, then all the profit comes from margins on sales.
