This is what a company called Groupon used to take advantage over retailers and give more power to customers. It’s the power of a collective buying power. Now go back there again and ask about the same plan, but tell them that you need a hundred of those for your company.

Want to check it yourself? Go to your mobile service provider and ask about the price of an unlimited plan with a modern phone. Want to exchange some money? Going to Europe and need some euros? You will get better deal at the exchange if you want to sell $10000 rather than $1000. How about negotiating the price of a service? Bit easier, agreed, but still quite difficult without a good argument – like paying upfront, agreeing on longer delivery or booking with a great advance.

Have you ever tried to negotiate the price of the product that you want to buy? You must admit that it’s not easy. You can say a similar truth about trying to get a better offer for something. The same goes for buying something in bigger packs – it is better to buy one large bottle of soda rather than two small ones.

Everybody knows that buying something in large quantities is cost-efficient.
