Markups or margins. In many industries, such as jewelry, beauty supplies. Furniture and clothing, the retailers of the products use a standard markup to price goods in their stores. For example, a standard markup for beauty supplies is 100 percent on cost. Thus, if the retailer buys nail polish for $1.50 per unit. The markup would be $1.50 and the final price to the consumer would be $3.00. Given that the retailer maintains costs equivalent to the industry standards, this markup would be expected to cover overhead costs and some profit. Standard markups can be ascertained from trade publications or by asking suppliers. A retailer may look at the $3.00 price and decide that, since may competition offers the same product for $2.99, he or she would like to offer the item $2.89. The lower markup and hence lower profit accepted by the entrepreneur in this case is a strategy used to increase demand in the short term (market penetration strategy) but could influence the competition to also lower its price, thus eventually reducing the profit margins for everyone.
