Thank you once again! Great post and I learned a lot from the comments and your replies, Andrea. It is hard when your competitors charge whole sale price for retails. Now, these marketing strategies you all mentioned are worth thinking. Thank you. I only use precious metals and quality gemstones and pearls in my work. So, yes, I will charge more than someone who used silver colored metal and glass and shell pearls; I have lost sales to someone who charges less, but I am in business to make a profit.
Gradually though, my sales are increasing and I hope what I learn from your course will help them increase even more. So, I am looking at other sites now for my jewelry. One thing I did notice was that people do not like to pay for shipping. Things like quick shipping, courteous responses to emails and presentation of an item all count when paying a premium price.
If its cheap, tossed in a plastic bag and takes 3 weeks to receive with no communication or return policy its not worth buying. Thank you for your wonderful approach. I would also to ask your opinion on the following. My problem is obviously pricing. I knew that the selling price is not the right one. So, I follow your instructions how to price and I realized once more that the price I am charging is definitely tooo low.
My shop has the following standards. I use only high quality jute and fabrics. I never repeat the same design twice and moeover it takes me about at least 8 hours work for each one of them.
What would be my marketing approach?? When I do this it prices my items competitively but not too low either. Also I am not trying to live off of my shop, it is just a side business to make a little bit of extra money. This very informative for me. I am currently working on inventory for a shop on etsy. As this is new to me, pricing has got me intimidated to say the least.
Reading the comments has been very informative as well. Thank you everyone, this gives me a real good idea how to go about this. I want to sell a set of 8 cards. Thank you for such helpful advise. I think the formula is similar, and could help work things out based on your skill level. Great information. We will certainly make good use of it as we are selling handmade clothing and leather boots for women. Thank you for sharing, would love to hear your thoughts about our products.
This was definitely some thought-provoking information. That seems outrageous to me, and nowhere in line with industry standard even at retail stores. I too never know what to charge people, this is the biggest problem I have. And this post has helped me some. I also make clothes but what I have been doing lately is alterations on just about everything. Now someone wants me to make them some skirts from old skirts that they have and someone else wants me to make them some dresses, which they will provide the patterns and fabric.
So I really need help pricing that. I enjoyed reading your article. I have made jewelry for about 20 years but I have very little confidence in my work. They can always buy similar items from places like Wal-Mart at a much lower price.
I currently just take my cost X 2 for the selling price and people say they love my stuff but even at that low of a price some say it cost too much. I work to provide an income for myself and provide quality products that are also affordable to my customers. If I were to sell wholesale I would have to double my price on Etsy to make it a retail price. And the reason for doing this would be so that some shop owner can also make money for themselves selling my goods?
I am for supporting myself not a bunch of people that run brick and mortar shops. Am I missing something? Why should other people be making money from my hard work? Sheri, thanks for reading and leaving a comment. Thank you for your article. I have been struggling with pricing my graphics. I have an Etsy shop. My clipart takes me between hours to complete, but once I create it I can sell it infinitely. It is just me- one man company, who creates all of the clipart sets. How do you price that accordingly.
I would love any feedback as to what you think is fair for pricing. I sell my item for 22 usd. I would like to sell my item in a store in my town. So how much would I sell my item to the store? And then they would sell it in there store for 44? Or do I sell my item to them for what I sell my item online at 22? And then they increase my items price themselves to whatever they want?
When you sell to stores, you have to usually decrease the cost so that they can mark it up. You should ask the store how much they mark up their products. I have been pricing so that I double the material costs to sell wholesale. When they mark it up, it goes to the price that I sell retail. Hi, Interesting article.
However, my wife and I are having a pricing issue with our products. We have sold a couple but not many, even though we often get great comments. The problem we have is we do not charge a fair price for us. For example, each toy takes 3 hours to make and materials cost about 50p. Any advice you have would be appreciated as we love making and selling our products, but we cannot take our business full-time for lack of decent pricing.
Hi Dan, Is there a way to decrease the time it takes you to make your cat toys? Or hire someone else to do it who can make it faster? This is why many companies have products manufactured overseas. They can hire someone elsewhere who charges a fraction of your hourly wage to make the product…and they do it in bulk. So, it will be hard to compete with pricing from a large retailer that sells a similar product.
Starting my bag business i am always fearful of pricing too high. But i am using eco friendly materials and manufacturing in the US, i believe that consumers will pay a price that not only gives them a quality item but the positive experience owning an item that has eco and ethical standards. Hi…just taking my first steps…your formula seems good although its scarey looking at what I should be selling my pieces for.. I have a shop interested in buying from me wholesale but I also sell on Etsy.
Also should I make sure the shop buy them WS from me cheaper than what I sell them for online. Lots of questions…hope you can help MAny thanks. Thank you for posting this formula. Currently, sales on Etsy are very slow.
I make necklaces and bracelet sets. The cost for the beading that I purchase is pricy. It varies from at times. This is really high!!!! How can I charge a comfy for price that I can profit from but a price that will not scare the customers away? I am in the same position.. I would suggest finding a way to lower the cost of materials without sacrificing quality. I have had to do the same with custom jewelry.
Buy your supplies in bulk or wholesale websites. That is what I do. Georgia — I have a purchasing background so I have wholesale accounts with my material suppliers. I am already getting the best price that I have negotiated, however, at times I have purchased fabric in my craft that was on sale via RETAIL stores always looking at getting quality at cheaper prices and then I take into consideration the original price retail.
I then go off the original price to take into account the fluctuation that I may get if I had to buy at full price. I totally understand your frustration and of scaring people away. Hello Simone, I make denim choker and matching earrings and hair accessorries, I am have pricing problems. You been in business for alone time , can you help me with your formula? Thank you so much…. I cant seem to find the downloadable pricing calculator. If you can help with that it will be greatly appreciated.
This is the best explanation for wholesale pricing! In other words, dynamic pricing is the act of changing a price multiple times throughout the day, week, or month to better match consumer purchasing habits.
Amazon has long been using price surges on their most-competitive items for big eCommerce shopping days such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Amazon prices fluctuate so frequently that the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel checks prices for popular items several times per day. There are a ton of great software products out there that will help you to automatically apply dynamic pricing to your products, without breaking the bank or pulling your hair out.
These tools allow you to set specific pricing guidelines by targeting certain margins that will help your eCommerce business to remain profitable. If you are a commodity or service business, you can price dynamically based on usage. A usage-based billing method is popular among utility providers and is also catching up in the SaaS space. Lots of businesses fall into the trap of thinking if they lower product prices, more people will buy the product and their revenue will increase. Even worse, you might come in second.
Strategically lowering product costs does have benefits, and can lead to increased revenue. For one, it reduces the amount of money being left on the table consumer surplus for customers who are willing to buy at various price points. Put simply, Consumer Surplus is the difference between what the consumer pays and what he would have been willing to pay. You need to understand the sales volume of a product at specific price points, and what allows you to remain profitable.
In other words, you need to understand price elasticity. Price Elasticity is a measure of the relationship between a change in the quantity demanded of a particular good and a change in its price. After testing pricing, you find customers convert at different rates depending on the price of the product. You also find that sales volume fluctuates with price:. Given this small amount of data, you can now easily calculate how much revenue is generated from each price point.
No sane business owner wants to do that, which is why you need a strategy to unlock that untapped gold mine.
