Why retail margin planning matters on the Lux 2
Specialist shops generally target a higher multiple than convenience channels.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Lux 2 economics actually settle.
Bundle pricing on device plus consumables protects margin better than discounting hardware.
