Price your products according to your labor costs Instead, these will be automatically added in Step 4. I don't recommend including your fixed costs in your pricing. There are also fixed costs, which include your rent, your utilities, storage, etc. These are often referred to as variable costs. How much does it cost you to manufacture your products? Make sure to include all materials, including raw materials or ingredients, hangtags, labels, packaging, taxes and duties, shipping costs (how much it costs to have the product shipped to you from your manufacturer) and so on.

Price your products according to the market If you’re looking for a way out of the bargain basement and into profitability, here are some things to consider when you price your products: 1. When too many sellers in a niche under-price their products consumers grow accustomed to the low price and feel cheated when asked to pay a fair rate. Instead of asking yourself what an item is worth, you might tend to ask what will consumers pay? If that's the case, not only are you cheating yourself with an unfair price, but also other sellers. How do you choose your prices? Do you look at competitors’ prices and chose a comparable price, or do you aim lower? Do you factor in labor, materials, and profit? Do you keep your prices low because you are afraid that pricing higher will mean selling less? Your price communicates your product’s value to the consumer and is a major factor in your success. Pricing low could mean pricing yourself out of a sale. The reality is that savvy shoppers looking for handmade goods disagree. Too many sellers think low prices mean selling more. And every time I browse Etsy and many other online stores I see it – the shockingly low price. How to price your products – this is a question I get ALL the time.
