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
- Research competitor prices
- Calculate your break-even
- Set price for target margin
- 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%
