Chain Store Trees
How can we compete with these guys?
Chains sell lower quality trees at lower prices. They target customers who mostly want a real tree but are not particular about quality. Price is everything.
To compete with chains and still make more money, we suggest the following:
-
Continue to offer the majority of your stock in good quality, high-end, fresh trees.
-
Make the business decision to purchase 10-30% lower-end, #3, chain store-type trees.
-
These will make your good trees look even better, as customers can see side by side how different a good tree and chain–type tree really are.
-
You can price these even after freight to compete with chains and still make a profit.
-
Have something for everyone’s budget.
-
If you have leftover trees, they will likely be the low-end trees, meaning less leftover loss.
-
Save on shipping with our help in competitive bidding by multiple trucking companies.
-
Purchase wreaths equaling 25% of your tree number sales. Double your profit.
