Market share can be misleading. To have 5% of the computer market may seem small, but if that 5% is the most profitable 5% of the whole market it can be quite large in revenue.
That's true.
90% of all profits in grocery stores comes from 10% of what they stock...all high profit margin goods...luxury items.
So, if you make a store catering in that 10% of goods, you could make money because everything you sell is profitable where the average store carries bargain basement goods to get shoppers in and hope that enough buy the high-profit items.
Correct, however a good deal of that 90% is what draws customers into the store. They want milk and eggs.
Notice how the milk, eggs and other essentials are always at the back? Its so people have to walk by as much of the rest of the stuff as possible. Twice in fact.
And the most expensive items are at eye level. Consider the honeycombs cereal. Its at eye level for kids. The nut 'n Honey is at grown up level. The puffed wheat? Right at the bottom or way at the top. Its cheap.
