Set The Right Price
This is probably the question I get asked the most, especially for first time startups: “What should I charge for my service or product?”
Let’s start with the obvious – you should charge a price that makes you a profit or that is a fair reward for your efforts.
Okay, now that’s out of the way, your pricing schedule is an important part of your business, its branding, and your marketing. You can set loss-leader prices, attracting people to your site or store, so that they can then see all the other stuff you offer. You can set premium prices, distinguishing your quality or scarcity from your competition. You can set a price based on your skill – doctors have to attend many, many years of medical school to accumulate skills you and I cannot hope to have. You can set a price based on experience – an experienced plumber can resolve your plumbing problems in half the time and twice as well as one just starting out.
Watch this to learn about the 5 factors that determine how you should be setting your price.
Here they are again:
- Supply and demand
- The niche
- Perceived Value
- A high return on the customer’s investment
- Customer satisfaction
