Retail margin planning for Gold Pro starts from the shelf price and works backwards.
What follows is a practical view of retail margin planning for the Gold Pro, written for people who place repeat orders rather than one off buys.

Why retail margin planning matters on the Gold Pro
Specialist shops generally target a higher multiple than convenience channels.

Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (152 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (725 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (15289 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
