we'd wish we had direct to consumer sales not just sales to sellers as we are unable to do discounts profitably.
what this makes our reality be:
this means we as a business that sells child labour certified products can only truly sell our products at the price we agree upon in contracts and can't do limited time discounts without having seasonal price differences in our supplying price that change during different times of the year which are things large scale sellers would just even out to expected order quantity during that time and just compare it to what our competition quotes and if the prices are the same within a dollar or less per thousand units or so they will usually chose the constant price due to the predictability of said pricing model we prefer giving our costumers an estimate of how much it will cost and in have in our contracts that they pay 4-7% above our variable costs till an agreed upon threshold in which we have to prove that we are not artificially inflating our costs
What would be different if we sold directly to consumers:
if we sold directly to private consumers we would be able to on occasion sell our products at much larger markups than we plan to sell them at and treat those prices as our intended prices which would be 40-160% higher but usually we would do every once in a while sales on the products that are usually sold in large amounts when on sale and not do this with items that are sold at around constant rates selling them at our true intended price except a few but we will keep one of them on sale for around 2 weeks and keep them at around the inflated price for around a month to a month and a half but this will be rotating around similar products meaning there will almost always be a "discounted" substitute we would sell at the price we intend to sell them at as these sorts of discounts are real discounts and perfectly legal we would be able to use said business tactic without most people truly realizing it or at the very least consciously as we have seen a decent chunk of our costumers do said actions with things like pride flags... since none of you do know their like the easiest thing to make an A1 sheet of paper sized pride flag to make costs us (variable cost) around 1.39-1.84 to make depending on the fabric and dyes and amount of dyes for example a progress pride flag is more expensive to make than a lesbian or trans flag the cheapest is usually the bi flag as it takes a lot less time to set up the ink device to make them also if it ever says that the flags are made in an EU or a country of similar development as Poland or higher the only thing done there was that someone stitched the part that you put on a flag pole and just is re-exported as that can be done by machine and you can put at-least a thousand or 5 in a single container and a lot more in trucks so don't think that the transport costs to decrease tariffs in certain contexts is not financially viable as the printed pride flags are exported as cloth and re-exported as flags or similar
