    If you sell, ready to eat items, such as hotdogs or rotisserie chicken, at a deep discount, you eventually have people shopping while hungry. The hunger feeling makes people purchase more! It's no accident that they put the hotdog stand right after the checkout lane!

    For those who dont know, the Costco hotdog combo is something called a loss leader. This is a business concept where a company creates a product with an impossibly low price on purpose. This products purpose is to lose the company money, but generate buzz and keep their new and returning customers coming back. Other examples of a loss leader include McDonald's $1 drinks or the dollar menus at various fast food restaurants.

    • @greysongladney4403
      @greysongladney4403 11 месяцев назад

      I hate that they claim it loses money, it's an expense... if money is being made elswhere then it's not technically losing money.
      But yes, no one bats an eye at McDonald's for doing this but when anyone else does it it is gawked at... makes no sense lol

    • @Gomoboo
      @Gomoboo 11 месяцев назад +1

      Sorry, but charging $1.00 for a soda dors NOT qualify for a loss leader. For fountain sodas, the syrup product makes up a very small percentage of the cost, add a large amount of ice and at $1.00, they're still making a profit. Movie theaters always made their profit on sodas and food.

    I worked for Costco for 7 years. Your facts are correct. It's why they heavily promote their executive membership program. Memberships are straight profit to them.
    They make $2 for $100 of merchandise sold.

    They are in UK for a while now. I love shopping there. Undercuts all the other big supermarkets. I mean we’re heading for 5-7 GBP for a carton of brand orange juice here. It’s super busy if you go on the weekends but with all the wide aisles you don’t even notice. Plus I love that they have wider parking spaces, especially a luxury in London (probably not an issue in the US 😋). The only exception to shop there is that you can only get a membership if you work in a certain field (healthcare, civil service, education, etc…). Not sure if it’s the same in the US 🤔

    That store brand replacement only works for so long.
    At some point, you become the store that doesn't have any of the products I want
