Episode 191: Markup vs. Margin: The Importance Of Knowing The Difference
You’re sitting in a meeting or on a phone call with a buyer and they throw out a percentage. Are they referring to margin? Markup? Which one? And what does that mean for YOUR brand? In this short episode, we break down…
🧮 What margin and markup are
🧮 Why you can’t afford to mix them up
🧮 PLUS, why it’s okay to clarify with a buyer which they’re referring to!
Follow along with my live math example below:
Wholesale price: $5
Retail price: $8.50
Profit: $3.50
➡️ 3.5 / 8.5 = 41% Margin
➡️ 3.5 / 5 = 70% Markup
