The commission portion of a sale will also include commission fees for Chiropractic Depot, minus transactions fees which Chiropractic Depot will pay. Products with a slim profit margin may not work for this type of sales approach. Smaller products may need to be bundled into larger packages in order to work within this system. The Chiropractic Depot price should represent a discount over full retail. This further will add incentive for sale of the product through the doctor's or association's website. | ||
