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%

  • Bundle products strategically
  • Optimize pricing tiers

Reduce Shipping#

  • Reduce product weight
  • Optimize packaging
  • Use local fulfillment
