Your Pricing Could be Killing You…

Many business owners feel trapped when it comes to the issue of pricing. With so much competition out there, how are you supposed to make a healthy profit margin while staying competitively priced?

If you discount your products and services too much, there’s  not enough profit margin left.  If you raise your prices too much, you’ll lose too many customers.


A few things you should consider when considering adjusting your prices:

1.             If you’re competing SOLELY on price, you’re playing a losing game. Define your Unique Selling Proposition and market it to your prospects.

2.              If the cost of doing business has gone up ( materials, labor, fixed costs,etc),  and  the quality of your product or service  has remained high or improved, it’s probably time to raise your prices. 


3.             Trimming/cutting your expenses can be healthy provided that it doesn’t dramatically impede your ability to produce sales.  There is a limit to how much you can cut!

4.             DO YOUR NUMBERS!  Know how much you can truly afford to raise your prices or discount without hurting your business.
