Pricing Strategy

Minimum Viable Price

Minimum Price = (Product Cost + Fees) / (1 - Target Margin)

Example:
Cost: ₹250
Target margin: 20%
Fees estimate: ₹180

Minimum = (₹250 + ₹180) / 0.8 = ₹537.50

Competitive Pricing

  1. Research competitor prices
  2. Calculate your break-even
  3. Set price for target margin
  4. Factor in promotions

Sale Event Planning

During sales:

  • Commission stays same
  • Seller absorbs discount
  • Calculate break-even discount
Max Discount = Profit Margin - Minimum Margin

If margin is 25% and minimum is 10%:
Max discount = 15%
