Business is all about making profits. And one metric that can help a business achieve profitability is how it prices it's products. What are the factors to be considered before pricing your products?

In my opinion, the best pricing strategy is by keeping profit margins by less than 20 percent. If you are new, you should even consider keeping your commission less than $10. This is to ensure that you are selling in volume to make better profits and outsmarting your competitor by offering best price.

To me, it depends on the cost of purchasing the goods, not just even the cost, you have to consider logistics and other things, then set your price in a way that when you need to repurchase, you will have enough with your profit intact.

Well you have to decide on a few things. What the cost of the labor is for starts. If you are the one producing the product, how much do you want to earn per hour? That should be your baseline for pricing. Then you add on supply cost. So if you are making candles, as an example, at it takes you 30 minutes to make one candle and you want to earn $10 an hour, that would be $5. Then the supplies would likely be around $2 for the jar and materials. So $7 per candle.

I think that the overall quality of the product and the expensiveness of the raw materials used to manufacture a product may play a key role when it comes to pricing a product. Expensive raw materials are one of the main reasons why certain finished products tend to be expensive.

There is always competition in the market which gives you a very good window to go into market research to know exactly how the products are being sold in the market for you to be able to fix your own price in a way that you can be able to have advantage in the market.

You have to consider the cost to make the product, the cost of shipping it to you, cost of marketing, etc. You also have to take in demand, and whether people want it or not. That can decide what amount you need to make and so on.

After doing all this consideration about what it took you to actually produce the products, you will also have to consider the market price so that you will know how to fix your own price in relation to the profits that you want to make from selling the products.

The criteria used to price a product can vary depending on various factors, including the nature of the product, market conditions, competition, and business objectives. Cost, market demand, competition, value proposition, target market, pricing objectives, product lifecycle.

This is the reason why any business owner especially the ones that are into production are advised to seek out a very good source where they are going to get their raw materials at a very cheap price so that it will reduce their cost of production.

I just added up the cost of supplies to make the finished product, and then made sure the price exceeded that amount, even by a little (at first).
Otherwise, you could just end up "breaking even" and who wants that?
Even a small profit is enough to get a business going and seen more by the public. Once you gain more exposure, and sales, then you can attempt upping the price and see how it works out. If sales drop, lower the price temporarily. If they go up, raise it again, little by little.

The quality of the product is also very important as well. The higher the quality, the higher the price. This is one of the most basic principles that many companies apply when it comes to manufacturing the product in the first place.

Carry out a product market survey to know what your similar products sell in the market. Know their selling price and work on lowering your cost of production. This will give you the advantage of selling the same quality of products in lower prices. This is the best strategy to take advantage of pricing.
