So sell low margin products and leave out high margin products? How do you expect that to work for a business?
- cryptoz 12y agoTVs and phones are very low-margin products. Batteries are high margin products. I think the RadioShack cost for a 2-pack of AA batteries is about 5-20 cents, and they charge like 5 dollars, right? A TV or phone costing $500 to RS probably sells for $502. At least, that's how The Source works in Canada (former RadioShack). Telecom contracts, however, are high-margin, and they'll have to continue increase their mobile contracts significantly if they want to stay in business.
