Criticism of Baumol's sales maximization model includes the assumption of profit maximization as the main goal of firms, the lack of consideration for other objectives like shareholder wealth maximization, and the oversimplification of managerial behavior by focusing solely on sales revenue. Additionally, critics argue that the model does not account for dynamic market conditions and competitive strategies that firms may adopt.
Baumol suggested sales revenue maximisation as an alternative goal to profit maximisation. He presented two basic models: A static single–period model and a multi-period dynamic model of growth of sales revenue maximisation. Each model has two versions, one with advertising activities and another without.

A Sales Maximisation objective aims at increasing the cash value turnover/Sales Income/Revenue. Costs and expenses are not taken into account. Profit maximisation seeks to increase the bottom-line profit, regardless of sales or other considerations. Profit = sales less costs. If sales reduce, but if costs reduce by a greater amount, profit will increase. If sales are less in such a scenario, the work required to achieve sales may be less, so more profit is being made with less effort, which would be a good indicator of the organisation's efficiency and ability to trade successfully despite business challenges. Profits can also be increased by maintaining at costs at their present level, and increasing the selling price. Assuming that the volume of sales does not decrease, bottom-line profits will increase. Sales maximisation can be an valid objective if the sole aim is to increase market share or other related reasons. However, Sales Maximisation accompanied by ever-decreasing profits cannot be sustained indefinitely.
You have missing variables such as the critically important total sales.
If the selling price of model B is 60% more than that of model A, we can express the selling prices as follows: let the selling price of model A be ( P ), then the selling price of model B is ( 1.6P ). If we assume equal sales volume for both models, the total sales would be ( P + 1.6P = 2.6P ). Therefore, the sales of model A would represent ( \frac{P}{2.6P} \times 100 \approx 38.46% ) of the total sales.
No Model 8205. There WAS a Model 820B. sales@countrygunsmith.net

The model is obsolete, however we have a good supply of parts for that model. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The sales model is driven by advertisements.
Sales maximization is a business strategy focused on increasing sales volume rather than profit margins. This approach often involves aggressive pricing, promotional efforts, and expanding market reach to boost the number of units sold. While it can lead to higher market share and brand visibility, it may also result in lower profit margins if costs are not managed effectively. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve the highest possible sales within a given time frame.
We have parts for that model. sales@countrygunsmith.netI have been trying to email sales@countrygunsmith.net and I keep getting my email back as undeliverable; is this (sales@countrygunsmith.net) the correct address? Please advise.
