💵 New year, new prices?


We’re all feeling the pinch these days Reader, and as makers, it’s crucial to make sure our product pricing is both competitive and profitable.

When was the last time you sat down and really evaluated your pricing strategy?

It's ok, it's ok...you're not alone – and I've got ya covered! In this blog post, I talk about how to reassess your pricing for the new year.

The key takeaway?

Your prices need to reflect not just the cost of materials, but also the value of your time and expertise.

Here are 4 quick tips for reviewing your pricing:

🔒 Factor in all costs—materials, time, overhead, and even your profit margin

🔒 Temerature check your prices with similar products in the market

🔒 Don’t undervalue your work—your time and creativity are worth it!
