Terms often used in sales are "keystone" pricing, and "price points"!
Keystone is the simple doubling of the wholesale price and putting the item on
the shelf. "These items sell at keystone!"
Price points is another way of stating price, wholesale or retail. If you are
asked what are your price points, depending on the nature of the discussion, you
may be discussing you volume breakover price. That is, 1 item for $10ea., 10
items for $9/each, 24 items for $7.50/ea. etc. You may also be talking about
markup again. "Price points on these items are 1.15." The 1.15 is a 115% markup
So an item that cost 1$ would be $2.15..
Just to confuse things......!
