Here we were, close to debt💔
We started the day off with ~ €14.800, which I am to blame for. Our starting budget was €50.000, but we purchased a lot of stock.
But! All is not lost, yet anyway.
Since one of our great minds calculated with a margin of ~ 164% , and I recalculated it with a reasonable margin, we adjusted it on the website and called it a sale, ~55% sale!
So, what I did;
- Made a flyer;
- Send it to all possible buyers on Trintel (our CMS);
- And to really try and get the point across (obnoxiously), I looked up all the business's emails and send them a promotional letter, with the same flyer and some additional text. Truly awful of me.
But, it workerd!
Within an entire morning, we had 4 out of the 8 businesses reach out to us, requesting us for a quote.
In the end, we managed to make two sales in the entire morning, which was an increase of 100% compared to yesterday.
Our sales:
- One bought 10 personal computers for a total of €5.361,05;
- One bought 10 Apple MacBook Pro's for a total of €17.680,69 (that's expensive).
But, more stock was needed :(
So we placed two orders at the wholesaler, for a total of €12.505,24.
At the end
We're currently sitting at €26.625,22 after sales today, good!
