Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, retail margin planning is where most of the value on the Nex 2 is either created or lost.

Where two suppliers look identical on price, retail margin planning is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.

Why retail margin planning matters on the Nex 2

Retail staff rarely ask about retail margin planning directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.

Bundle pricing on device plus consumables protects margin better than discounting hardware.
