박리
"박리" means "peeling" or "flaking off."
Here, '박리다매' combines '박리' (small profit) and '다매' (selling many items), referring to a business strategy aimed at maximizing sales volume despite small margins per item.
그 가게는 박리다매로 판매 전략을 세웠다.
The store planned a sales strategy based on small profits and quick returns.
In this sentence, '박리' directly refers to selling items or books at a low margin, emphasizing the contrast with the alternative sales method.
그는 책을 박리로 파는 대신 독특한 매출 방식으로 성공을 거두었다.
He achieved success with a unique sales method instead of selling books at a low profit.
'박리' in this instance denotes the concept of generating smaller profits per unit sold, often used strategically to capture wider attention or market share.
