Even if you put all of your time and money into a business, however, it does not guarantee its success.

What is ROI for Waxing?
When starting a waxing business or striking out on an independent venture, you need to prioritize the logistics that go into it all. It’s important that your business runs as efficiently as possible - and has a healthy profit margin. You need to keep your business going, after all! So what is an ROI for waxing? How does it affect your day-to-day as a small business owner?
When running a business, you need to ensure that you’re not spending more than you make and take steps to stop your business from losing money unnecessarily.

How Do I Calculate the ROI for My Waxing Business?
To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) on an investment is divided by the cost. Generally, the most common way to calculate ROI is by dividing your net profits by your total investment.
This ROI dictates your spending decisions, whether that entails buying new supplies, hiring staff, or investing more in the business and its infrastructure as a whole.

How to Save Money By Buying Bulk Hard Wax
If you’re buying a 10lb bag of Pink or Blue hard wax beads every week, or frequently enough to effectively service your clients consistently, you’re probably spending more than you have to have to on supply. By buying retail, you’re probably hurting your business’ ROI.
Instead, when you buy in bulk, you’ll allow yourself to have a more consistent inventory of wax and save yourself the trouble or labor involved with ordering wax again and again, and most importantly - save you and your business money! It’s like giving yourself a raise without raising prices on clients.
If you’re wondering how buying a 30 lb box of wax versus the 10lb bag you’re used to can save you a large amount of money, let us break it down for you:
When purchasing a 10lb bag of wax, you spend on average about $174.90 or paying about $17.79 per pound. Whether you’re purchasing these bags weekly or just enough to keep up with your business needs, this can add up.
