KanjiJLPT N2
Sales

marketing, sell, trade

Mnemonic

A store goes anti-profit, slashing every price tag in half. Customers flood in, throwing money at the counters. Why go anti-profit? Because massive sales events generate so much money through sheer volume that everyone wins!
Additional thoughts
Picture a rebellious (anti-) store owner tearing price tags apart while money rains down from excited shoppers. The contradiction—being anti-profit yet drowning in money—makes the sales concept stick.
Quick recall
Going anti-profit floods you with money because sales win on volume.
