It\u2019s no secret that the merchandising industry is a competitive field. With the masses of merch shops out there, pricing can essentially make or break your business. You know better than anyone else the time and effort it\u2019s taken to launch your shop. It\u2019s understandable that you\u2019d want to put a hefty price tag on your favorite designs. However, starting with high prices isn\u2019t always the best practice. We\u2019re here to show you the ropes and benefits of starting off with low prices in your merchandise shop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Winning over your customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No matter the business, it\u2019s important to do your homework. Check out what your competitors are doing and how their products are priced. Be sure to pay attention to how their prices vary between simple designs and complex designs.<\/p>\n

Once you have a solid understanding of the pricing structure of your competitors, you\u2019ll have more of a clear vision on how your products should be priced.<\/p>\n

Remember, you have nothing to lose<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the greatest benefits of selling merchandise with Spreadshop is that it\u2019s 100% free. You\u2019ll never have to invest any money, ever. You won\u2019t have to think about pricing margins because you\u2019ll never be at a loss. Starting with low prices will still guarantee you a profit with affiliate commission (20% of the revenue consisting of product price plus print price), independently of your design price.<\/p>\n

Test it out<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starting with low prices will excite your customers from the get-go. Plus, they\u2019ll be even happier when you have a shop promotion! Once you have a strong customer base and a following, this is the time to consider adjusting your prices. This is something you\u2019ll have to do very carefully.<\/p>\n

Start by observing the best-selling designs in your shop. Listen to customer feedback to recognize where there\u2019s room for a price increase. We\u2019re not saying to stack on an extra $10, but to simply add a small amount to your design price. If you\u2019re still making sales and there\u2019s no negative feedback resulting from the price change, then you\u2019re good to go! On the other hand, if you notice a drop in sales, it may not have been the best time to make a change. Luckily, it\u2019s an easy fix, and your sales should go back to normal!<\/p>\n

While driving traffic to your website is one of the most important things to focus on, you don\u2019t want your customers doing a complete 180 once they look at your prices. Start low and keep promoting your shop. Your customers won\u2019t be able to resist amazing merch at a great price. Happy creating!<\/p>\n
