       1. Find the lowest product cost

A great place to start increasing profits is to find a supplier that offers a more competitive price. If you wish to do the legwork yourself you can find several suppliers to compare and contrast on Google but an even better option would be to partner with a well-connected master agent who can offer you great pricing on your inventory thanks to their established relationships with suppliers. Master agents may also be open to offer you deals on large orders without requiring you to buy several hundreds of units, making this a great option for local wireless stores. Empower is a nationwide master agent so if you are interested, find out how to sign up as an authorized dealer in the free guide at the bottom of the article.

       2. Join high commission programs such as AT&T Prepaid

Staying on top of commission rates and joining the highest rated programs will allow you to increase your profits. There are many companies in the mobile industry who offer good rates for commission payments such as Lycamobile, h2o, UltraMobile, FreeUp, and more. At the time of publication of this article AT&T Prepaid offers the highest commission rate in Southern California with 14%! Find specific rates from two top brands in the downloadable free guide at the bottom of the article.

       3. Have a plan for offering special discounts based on slow seasons, holidays, etc

A marketing plan is an absolute necessity for any business, and wireless stores are no different. You should have an established schedule of promotions to run throughout the year, taking into account which months are high season, low season, what holidays you can build promotions around, what types of promotions you can run, etc.

Make sure to learn a bit about marketing and sales so you can test strategies to help increase profits such as flash sales, offering bundles, tactics to create urgency for consumers to purchase today, and creating a list of consumers so you can message them when new offers are available.

       4. Create an email/SMS list of your consumers

Having a way to reach your customers should be a core pillar in your business. Offering a large discount or a free gift in exchange for an email address and phone number is a great way to incentivize your customers to share their contact information.

You can use a program like Mailchimp (emails) or Textedly (mass SMS messages) to upload your list and send messages to your customers whenever there is a promotion. Be careful not to overdo this, especially SMS messages! For more information on how to create an email list download the free guide at the bottom of the article.

       5. Sell Low-cost, High-margin items

This one is great because when you think profits you don’t usually think about low cost items, however items like these can greatly increase your profits because the margins are so high and they are great items to use for up selling. Low-cost products include phone accessories such as cases, chargers, screen protectors, cables, etc. Also, electronic recharge products such as International Mobile Topup are great because there is no physical product cost! Learn more about how Empower provides its dealers with these items in the free Profit Booster Guide below.

       6. Offer your own financing!

Rather than referring your known & trusted “regular” customers to a 3rd party financing company, use a system to create our own rental agreements and realize the entire margin for the financing. With a 30% down payment and rental factor of 2-3 times the “cash price” you can earn tremendous margins with mitigated risk!
