Smart Buying by Group Buying

ClubMeIn.com is a community-buying portal where consumers advertise their intention to buy and obtain lower prices by reducing selling cost to suppliers.

What is Selling Cost?

  • Expenses incurred in the marketing and distribution of a product.
  • Marketing expenses include marketing salaries, marketing research, promotions, public relations and advertising costs.
  • Distribution expenses include all the steps to get a product to the consumer. This includes broker commissions, wholesale cost, distributors, and retail expenses.
  • The standard range for a gross profit commission based on a percentage of the gross sales margin is between 20 and 40 percent. Service-based products command higher commissions, upwards of 50 percent of the gross sales margin. The cost of selling could take between 15 to 70 percent of this margin on average.

It is harder to find customers than to find vendors.

Customers absorb the cost of selling and it is many times too high because vendors spend a lot of money finding customers.

Let’s make it easier. Let’s start the other way.

ClubMeIn.com is a portal where consumers tell what they want to buy. Buyers are making it easier for vendors to find them… Vendors will be able reduce their cost of selling by making proposals to our members who are ready to buy.

This is what we call “Supply and Demand in Harmony.”

Start making it easier and cheaper to buy what you really want. Stop looking for sales or waiting for things to be cleared out, just let vendors know what you want and when you want it. It gets even better when you group with others (Club-In), because volume also helps to drive the price down or makes the service possible. Demand drives supply and online services make it easier, this is the biggest success factor of companies like iTunes and Netflix.
