5 Actionable Propane Pricing Tips for Retailers in 2025
Buy on Index Pricing
Call your supplier and ask them to give you an index price on your purchases which will set their commission on each sale to you at a non variable rate. For example, your supplier may give you an index price of Belvieu + 8¢. This means they will only charge you an 8¢ markup no matter what is happening to the market. It really is as simple as a phone call. If your supplier won’t help you, reach out to us and we can send you a few other suggestions for your area.
Time Your Inventory Purchases
Buy bulk during off-peak months (e.g., late spring) when demand dips. Our reports have the ability to flag these opportunities for you so making a buying decision is easier.
Hedge Against Volatility
Use basic hedging (e.g., fixed-price contracts) to lock in rates. This can also benefit your customers if you roll out a fixed price program with a set monthly cost. Join our next free webinar for practical steps to start hedging without overcomplicating your books.
