Fees for premium spaces
DMart has products from many companies. A premium space is where various companies' products are kept. Companies pay to keep their goods in this premium space. It should be noted that this is one of D-Mart's revenue avenues.
No rent payment
While companies have to pay rent for their stores in all the malls and other places, DMart buys the place where it opens its store and saves rent money.
No parking place
DMart does not pay for parking to save money.
No expenditure on interior
The company does not spend money on fancy interiors or accessories but focuses on creating space for more products to fit.
Strong supplier network
DMart has a strong supply network and thus gets products at a cheaper price. While the credit time on buying goods is usually up to 30-45 days, DMart sells goods fast within a time frame of 8-10 days which benefits the supplier as well.
No middleman
As DMart directly deals with suppliers, there is no middleman which benefits the company in terms of commission.
DMart sells more with lesser margins
Since DMart gets all the products at a very cheap rate, it sells products at very low margins, which makes the products very cheap for all the customers. Due to cheap products, many people buy more goods and because of this, DMart earns a lot despite low margins.
Fewer options in product categories
DMart does not offer too many products, the company has very few vendors and suppliers. This helps the company in getting good discounts.
Sale of their brand of product
DMart does not only sell other companies but also products with its own line of products.
