So normal retail margin is somewhere between 40 to 60%. So the base price where retail makes no "profit" as such for that umbrella is ~£70 (as this is a premium brand) so when you see "half price sale" with the brolly at £85 the shop is still, in their view, making a profit of £15. Retail profits go towards paying rent, business rates and wages. Note that for a retail shop in say, Regents Street you're looking at millions per year of rent and a million or so for business rates just for a standard sized shop front.
So £70 - £6 = £64 and from that needs to come marketing costs (a lot for such a brand) and company costs (paying the wages of the head office staff) until finally you get to the "real" profits for the company which probably comes to about a tenner. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
In fact good for me sometimes. Just recently my wife and 3 children came for a month holiday and even though I am in the back of nowhere north east china, she can still find all the designer handbags that are as good as the real thing, my wife took a few home. |
