QUOTE(advocado @ May 2 2014, 12:09 PM) well, that explains why Daiso is selling so expensive! daiso can undercut market because they want volume, different strategy from acehardware. mrdiy is following normal retail strategy, import then rebrand to own brand, place next to big name product, but margin is much higher than big name brandaircon & cleanliness. should have guessed. |
