  1. Markup as the Conversion Factor in a Two Factor Marketing Machine Ted Mitchell

  2. What is the definition of • Markup on Price? • 1) The cost per unit divided by the price per unit • 2) the price per unit divided by the cost per unit • 3) the profit per unit divided by the cost per unit • 4) the profit per unit divided by the price per unit?

  3. The definition is • Markup on Price, Mp, is the ratio of • Profit per unit divided by the Price per unit • Markup on Price = (Profit per unit)/(Price per unit) • Mp = (P–V)/P • It is an identity; if you know any two of the three elements you can calculate the third.

  4. A boy buys an apple • for $2 and sells it for $5. What is the percent markup on price? • Markup on Price by definition is (P–V)/P • Mp = (P–V)/P • Mp = ($5-$2)/$5 • Mp = $3/$5 = 0.60 = 60%

  5. Need to know and understand • the markup on price, Mp • YOU WILL NEED IT to set a cost-based price that provides the normal target profit.

  6. What is a Two-Factor Machine? • A car is a Two-Factor Machine • It converts gallons of gas into miles travelled • Output = Conversion efficiency x Input • Miles =(miles per gallon) x (number of gallons) • Output can only be improved by changing one or both of the Two-factors that explain distance • Miles = Factor 2 x Factor 1 • Factor 1: the amount of gas in the input, gallons • Factor 2: the efficiency of the conversion, mpg

  7. Marketing is easy to Conceptualize • As a Two-Factor Marketing Machine • It has many possible Outputs: • profits, sales, costs, customer awareness, customer satisfaction, etc. • Many possible Inputs: • servers, hours open, price, product quality, promotion, location, etc. • Many possible conversion rates and machine efficiencies: • revenue per cup, sales per hour, sales to satisfaction, cups per server, return on sales, markup, etc.

  8. R = (R/Q) x Q • Output = Conversion rate x Input • Revenue = (Revenue per cup) x (Cups Sold) • To increase revenue, increase one or both of the two factors • Revenue = Factor 2 x Factor 1 • Factor 1: quantity of cups sold, Q • Factor 2: increase the conversion efficiency, revenue per cup • Revenue = (Revenue/Q) x Q • R = (R/Q) x Q • Revenue = Price per cup x Q

  9. Change the Output of the machine from • Revenue to Profit

  10. G = (G/Q) x Q • Output = Conversion rate x Input • Gross Profit = (gross profit per cup) x (Cups Sold) • To increase gross profit, increase one or both of the two factors • Gross Profit = Factor 2 x Factor 1 • Factor 1: quantity of cups sold, Q • Factor 2: increase the conversion efficiency, gross profit per cup (Gross Profit/Cups Sold) • Gross Profit = (Gross Profit/Q) x Q • G = (G/Q) x Q • Gross Profit = Gross Profit per cup x Q

  11. Rates can be treated as • Inputs and Outputs • Want to improve the rate Gross Profit per cup • Consider a marketing machine that uses • (Revenue per Cup) as an Input • And the • (Gross Profit per Cup) as the Output

  12. Gross Profit per Cup = Conversion rate x Revenue per Cup • Output = Conversion rate x Input • Gross Profit per Cup = Conversion Rate x Revenue per Cup • (Price-Variable Cost per cup)= Conversion Rate x Price per Cup • (P-V) = Conversion Rate x P • Conversion Rate = Output/Input = (P-V)/P • P–V = (P-V)/P x P • (P-V)/P = dollar markup on price, Mp • P – V = Mp x P

  13. The Two-Factor Marketing Machine • That produces profit per cup (P–V) as an output is • (P – V) = Mp x P • Factor 1: Input is the selling price, P • Factor 2: Conversion rate is the markup, Mp • It is an identity, if I know any two of three components I can calculate the third.

  14. Using the Two Factor Marketing Machine • To Improve or explain the output, Profit per unit, (P-V) • (P – V) = Mp x P 1) Improve the Input = Increase the price 2) Improve the efficiency of the price conversion in to profits per unit = increase the markup, Mp

  15. Compare and Explain Differences Why the difference in profit per unit?

  16. Compare and Explain Differences

  17. We also use the Two-Factor Model to calculate a selling price that will achieve the target profit per unit

  18. Using the Two-Factor Model • to Set a Price, P • Solving for P means I know the variable cost, V and I know the normal, fair markup I must achieve, Mp • P – V = Mp x P • P – Mp(P) = V • P(1 – Mp) = V • P = V/(1 – Mp)

  19. You are about to • Start a new Café! • You have had a lot of experience running a profitable coffee shop? • What is your normal price for a 16 oz cup? • What is your normal cost to make one cup of organic coffee? • What is you normal profit per cup? • What is your normal markup percent per cup?

  20. A New Coffee flavor • Becomes available. • It will increase the cost of a 16oz cup to 30¢ a cup. You normally get a 95% markup per cup • What selling price do you have to set to get the normal profit per cup that you need to stay in business? • P–V = Mpx P • P – $0.30 = 0.95P • P – 0.95P = $0.30 • P(1-0.95) = $0.30 • P = $0.30/(1-0.95) • P = $0.30/0.05 = $6 per cup
