How Is My Product Priced and Positioned in the MarketUpdated 6 days ago

Pricing affects every part of your business — your margins, your positioning, your buyer expectations and your long term viability. Getting it right before launch is significantly easier than adjusting it after buyers have formed opinions.

I approach pricing research from two directions.

First, I look at what the market currently charges. This gives you a realistic range — the floor set by the lowest priced options and the ceiling set by the most premium. Going below the floor signals low quality. Going above the ceiling requires a strong differentiator.

Second, I help you find a price that works for your business:

  • Your cost to produce or source the product
  • Your shipping and packaging costs
  • The margin needed to grow without depending on discounts
  • A price point that supports consistent and sustainable sales long term

I also define where your product should sit in the market — value, mid-market or premium. That positioning decision affects not just the number but the language, the imagery and the type of buyer you attract.

A correctly priced product sells at full price consistently. That is always what I am working toward with you.
