Click on the following links to see how much Dave's Deals, Mementoes and Select Events Ltd charge fr thier products. Don't forget to add on VAT . Currently this is at a rate of 17.5%. Buying the souvenirs and mementoes is the easiest part. The hard part is selling the items at your event. You must not price them for sale at too high a price. This will only result in not selling as many as you could if you had priced them lower. Similarly you do not want to price them for sale at too low a price as you need to make a reasonable profit. A good profit margin would be at least 50%. This will allow you to pay staff a reasonable rate of pay for selling the items and still make a good profit. |
