The thing is, retailers operate on very thin profit margins that are based on the difference between supplier prices and sale prices (operating costs also need to be included). There is an additional strain on the margin with suppliers raising prices to ensure their own profit on one side, and customers demanding lower prices on the other.

Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
