Alton Towers: Making a profit! • All of the goods and services that Alton Towers Resort provides cost money. • Examples of Alton Towers Resort’s costs include: • Staff wages • Raw materials • Advertising costs • Electricity/power costs To cover these costs, a business sells the goods or services it provides - this is known as income or revenue. The money left after all costs have been taken into account is the profit.
What about these...? • A business produces a low-priced, low-quality toilet paper which people will buy based purely on price and need. • A firm that manufactures replacement windows uses cold-calling to target residential households. • A firm has recognised the need amongst consumers for a heated flask. The product will be used mainly by people whose job requires them to be based on the road for long periods of time. • A firm manufactures large cardboard boxes; they gain cheaper raw materials by negotiating a rate with their suppliers for buying in bulk. Extension : An insurance firm has just opened up a new call centre, employing 1000 employees in Birmingham. They will now mass target customers by cold-calling households to try and sell their product. Two new sales people have just been hired by a telecommunications company to set up a stand at Merry Hill Shopping Centre, Dudley and try to sell wireless broadband to passers by.
