Let's discuss some of the business reasons behind decisions made by merchandisers. Let's say you own a merchandising company, and part of your business is retail sales and part is wholesale sales. You have to make a number of decisions in the course of business that will maximize your ability to earn a profit, pay your bills and maintain your inventory so you have sufficient items that customers want. Your margins are tight for your wholesale business, but they are a little better for your retail business After working through chapter five, please consider and answer the following two questions. Please answer in your own words. If you do not fully understand the business reasons behind these decisions, post your best guess. Then, come back to the discussion, read the postings and see if you understand better. If you do, reply to your own post and summarize the topic in your own words. For this discussion, you may reply to a classmate or to your own post - either will satisfy the reply requirement. 1. Wolid you offer discounts to your wholesale customers for timely payment? Why or why not? 2. Would you accept credit cards in your retail business? Why or why not? 3. Would you offer online customers free shipping? What would you have to consider to make this decision
