A large retailer can increase profits by reducing the markup on a fast-selling product by selling more units overall. This strategy relies on the increased volume of sales compensating for the lower profit margin per unit. Lowering the markup can attract more customers, which can lead to an increase in total sales volume and, ultimately, higher profits.
