reasonable sales expectations
Author: bc	June 18, 2004 at 22:57:17

I have a couple of stores that want me to set up some sort
of display in their stores. One is a busy independent drug
store and the other is a busy shipping/packing store. Both
have pretty good traffic.

I want to price the cartridges around the same price as
that of Office Depot's brand cartridges (not the OEM's).
I'd only stock the most popular models.

So, what would be a reasonable expectation of weekly sales?
What I mean is after it is up and running. Obviously, there
will be some ramp up time, but what I'm looking for is an
idea of the number of averge weekly sales when it is
"firing on all cylinders". What about 20 a week? Or, thirty
a week? Is that outrageous or doable? More? Less? I'll take
anyone's opinion on this. Give me a range like 10-15 a week
or 15-20 or 20-25....40-45 or 45-50, etc. Just looking for
some experienced opinions. I'll even take an educated
guess. Since this is a board of peers I'd appreciate
anyone's thoughts even if you don't have specific
experience in this area.

I just want to make sure it is profitable for both me and
the store owners.
