Q: My partner and I are having a hard time coming up with what we feel is the perfect price for our new product We know what competing products sell for, but we don't know if it's better to price our product cheaper than theirs or charge more based on what we think is a superior product What is the best way to determine the perfect price and what is the rule of thumb for raising prices later on?
-- Jennifer L
A: Like the perfect man, the perfect plan, and the perfect murder (not sure what those three have in common, but there is a link there somewhere), there is no such thing as the perfect price There is that mythical price that gives the customer excellent bang for his buck and the company excellent profits for its efforts, but even that price point can't be considered the perfect price That's called compromise, not perfection
Pricing is an important aspect of every business because price is used to create financial projections, establish a break even point, and calculate profit and loss
It's also important to establish a good price point from the beginning because it is much easier to lower prices than to raise them Fake Designer Watches. If you introduce a product at $100 and make no sales, you can easily lower the price to $75 without attracting much attention However, if you introduce the product at $75 and it proves popular and you raise the price to $100, you may face irate customers and even be accused of price gouging Soccer Jersey Supplier. So it's better to start high and adjust down, if need be
There really is no rule of thumb when it comes to raising prices Price is never set in stone and consumers expect prices to change with the times You might raise prices to cover an increase in the cost of manufacturing and other production costs, or in response to market demand (the greater the demand, the higher the price)
You can also justify a price increase when you improve a product's quality, features and benefits The buying public is generally price conscious, but if you can show that the value of your product has increased by the addition of new features and benefits, then the public will usually not balk at an increase in price Keep in mind that price increases should be done in small increments over time, not by significant amounts over night
Though price may be determined by any number of factors, basically there are three ways to establish the price for your product
The first way to determine price is to perform a comparative analysis on similar products sold by competitors Are the features and benefits similar to your product's? If so, use the price of the competing product as a possible price point for your product If your product is superior in quality, features and benefits, then you might be able to justify a higher price and still be competitive If your product is inferior, then your price point will be less
The second way to establish pricing is to calculate the total cost to produce and deliver your product, then figure in an acceptable margin of profit to calculate the final price
The third way to establish a price it to use what I call "The David Copperfield Method" Named after the famous magician who made the Statue of Liberty disappear on national TV, this method of pricing simply means that you pull the price out of thin air Believe it or not, this is the method that many companies use to establish pricing It's also the reason many companies disappear Yves Saint Laurent Shoes.
It's easier to understand the allure of the Copperfield Method when you realize that more often than not, product pricing comes down to one thing: perception
Perception, or as it is more commonly referred to in business, perceived value, is one factor that most entrepreneurs use to determine product pricing As entrepreneurs, our products are our children We create them, we nurture them, we grow them and we love them And often we perceive their value to be much greater than the market perceives it to be
It's all about the perception of value What makes a $10,000 Rolex watch more valuable than a $10 Timex? Functionally both are watches and both perform the exact same function: they tell time Why then does one sell for a thousand times more than the other? Perceived value, nothing more
An expensive wristwatch can not make you better looking, smarter, healthier, or more popular with the opposite sex But the perception is that if you have a Rolex on your arm you must have something going for you that the wearer of a $10 Timex does not
By the way, does anybody have the time? My Timex seems to have stopped
Here's to your success!

HAMILTON 0
ACCIES boss Billy Reid claimed his players were suffering from a run of bad breaks after they were denied a penalty at the end Christian Dior Replica of the Fir Park tie.
Mike Tumilty waved away appeals deep in injury-time when Stevie Hammell charged Flavio Paixao off balance as the Hamilton substitute tried to force Martin Canning's header home at the back post.
Lukas Jutkiewicz had scrambled home the only goal in the 68th minute to keep Hamilton bottom of the SPL.
Accies moved bottom following shock wins for Kilmarnock and Falkirk in midweek and Reid insists his men just need their luck to turn.
Yves Saint Laurent Bags "It was a strong penalty claim," Reid said. "I haven't seen it yet but the players certainly thought it was. But we didn't get it and there's no point moaning.
"That's four games we've lost 1-0, I don't think anyone can deny we deserved a point.
"Once again we've conceded a scrappy goal. There have been four or five incidents at the other end and for some reason the ball has not gone in for us, which is a concern."
Well boss Craig Brown was unimpressed after a derby high on commitment but lacking in finesse.
"It was a poor performance, hopefully we can play an awful lot better than that," he said.
Replica Mont Blanc Watches"Hamilton made it difficult for us, and with a bit of luck they could have taken a point, but we're happy to get the win on the day."

The Buffalo Bills hired two men familiar to Chan Gailey on Tuesday to serve as the team's strength and conditioning coaches.
They are Eric Ciano and John Gamble. Ciano spent the past five years as the strength and conditioning coach at Georgia Tech. He worked with Bills head coach Gailey for three of those seasons. Before that he spent three years as associate strength and conditioning coach at the University of Tennessee.
Gamble spent the last 16 years with the Miami Dolphins. The first 12 of those was as strength and conditioning coach. The last four were spent as director of player development, in which he assisted players' needs off the field. Gamble was hired as a strength coach in Miami by Don Shula. He was the No. 1-ranked powerlifter in the world in the 275-pound class from 1981 to 1983. He was inducted into the U.S. Weightlifting Hall of Fame in Fake Richard Mille 1999.
The two men replace John Allaire, who was Bills Replica chanel Handbags chief strength coach the past four years.
"We decided to bring in two head strength and conditioning coaches to let them specialize in the specific areas each coach works in, and we feel like we've hired two unbelievable people to run that department for us," Gailey said. "The combination of these two guys is going to pay real dividends for our team."
The team will be looking for better luck on the injury front under Gailey. The Bills led the NFL in players on injured reserve in both 2007 (17) and 2009 (20).
Gamble and Gailey worked together in 2000 and 2001 while Gailey was Miami's offensive coordinator. In 1998, Gamble was named Coach of the Year by the Professional Strength Coaches Society. He shifted to the player development role in the second and final year of Nick Saban's tenure in Miami, 2006.
"John Gamble has a wealth of experience at the NFL level," Gailey said. "He's a great leader of men as well as a great strength and conditioning coach. He gives us so much knowledge and background in gaining strength, mass and power and that's what we're really looking forward to having him bring to our program."
Prior to joining the Dolphins, Gamble served as the head strength and conditioning coach at the University of Virginia from 1984-93. He was named 1985 Strength Coach of the Year by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Fake Porsche DesignThis will be Ciano's first job in the NFL. He was strength and conditioning coach at Louisiana Tech from 2000 to 2002.
"Eric Ciano came through the University of Tennessee system, which is renowned for producing great coaches in the strength and conditioning area," Gailey said. "He was our strength and conditioning coach at Georgia Tech and did an unbelievable job in getting our young men bigger, stronger, quicker and faster through the years."

Jennie a renowned for her enthusiastic rallying of the community in Totley, where she lives a has spent the past ten years compiling Red Sea Railway.
She decided to write the history of the Eritrean Railway not because she is a railway enthusiast but postcard printing because she was inspired by how the country pulled together to get the trains going again after a devastating war with Ethiopia.
Jennie lived and worked in Eritrea before and after Liberation in 1991 and started the book to record some of the stories of the men who worked on the line.
Some of them were in their 70s and 80s, helping to reconstruct 117km of line that had been destroyed in the war, which saw sabotage and ambushes and rails used in the trenches on the frontline.
A new government wanted the railway to be a symbol of self reliance, even rejecting the chance of using European funds.So there was a stirring story to be told.
Some rail experts, though, told Jenny in no uncertain terms that a woman without any technical knowledge should not even attempt such a book.
Publication has confounded the doubters and the reaction has been positive, she said. "It's been wonderful. I was very nervous about how the railway fraternity would view it. "One man from Germany told me I shouldn't even try to write a book about railways. But I have had some very good comments from senior people in the railway world, including a professor of transport history in Italy."
It's an offshoot from Jennie's usual world of working with Totley Residents Association, organising the Totley Show and opening replica breitling her garden in The Grove to the public as part of the National Gardens Scheme.
Her literary subject was bound to raise eyebrows. "Women tend not to be the ones interested in railways and they don't tend to write books about them. It's the little boys who become train spotters."
Yet she persuaded the general manager of the Eritrean railway to be her co-author and their collaboration across continents has paid off.
Jennie has presented all the 'nuts and bolts' of locomotives, track, rolling stock and gauges, aided by the generous railway enthusiasts from across the world, "who probably thought they were coming to the aid of a damsel in distress."
The book involved extensive research in archives in Khartoum, Asmara, Rome and London, interviews with elderly Eritreans and searching the internet for photographic and documentary items.
With her husband, John Beazer, teaching himself book layout skills, Jennie, aged 58, ended up publishing the book herself. As a Sheffielder Jennie asked Starprint, of Abbeydale Road, to print the book.
Comprising 374 pages, 385 photographs, 71 illustrations and 19 maps and weighing in at 1.3kgs, it Fendi Replica Handbags has proved a mighty undertaking.
But she stuck at it.
"There were days when I didn't open a file and days when it was very intense," said Jennie, who is a voluntary learning advisor with the south west Sheffield community assembly and is currently trying to set up a horticulture project in Bolsover.
"Ten years is a long time. I don't think my friends thought I would do ita[bar]"
Red Sea Railway costs A[pounds sterling]29.99. Contact Jennie on 236 2302 or see the website
