Where two suppliers look identical on price, retail margin planning is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Why retail margin planning matters on the Starre
Specialist shops generally target a higher multiple than convenience channels.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Starre economics actually settle.
