Almost every store has shop sales. Over 60% of all store traffic has to do with SERVICE whether you charge or not. You might have 75% of store DOLLARS come from selling product but service brings them into the store.
When I was a teenager in the 1960’s and worked for my father’s trade shop after school he also sold jewelry and did repairs to the public. Just come up to the 2nd floor and he’d serve you. At that time, to sell a 2 carat diamond and get keystone to triple key was like falling out of bed.
In the early 70’s I worked as a jeweler for Neiman Marcus. They sold a $100,000 emerald cut diamond engagement ring and made triple key.
But not anymore!
When you made triple key on diamonds (even keystone)
you could afford to do two things:
-
Over buy inventory
- Give away repairs for free as a service.
With margins being so low today you can no longer afford to over buy nor can you afford to give away the shop.
Just like a car dealership, we have to contend with lower margins on product sales and make up for it with greater turn and inventory management. Then the service department has to stand on its own two legs and be a separate profit unit.
Try this one thing and add over $43,000 to the bottom line....
