Why a 25% Flash Sale Discount Requires 3.4x Unit Volume Just to Make the Same Dollar Profit
On a $48 item with $12 COGS, $6.80 FBA/3PL shipping, and $7.20 referral/ad cost ($22 baseline net profit), cutting price by 25% (-$12.00) drops net profit to $10.00—and after a $300 deal entry fee, you need 3.1x volume just to break even on total profit dollars.
