Advice on listing a new line in a new price range

[kavetne]

Hello! I am about to list a new line of items. The new line is significantly cheaper to make than most of what is currently in my shop. My current shop items range in price from $24-68, with the bulk of the items being about $36-$40 or so.

I expect my new line will vary in price from about $16 to $28; the bulk of the items will be about $18-22.

The two lines are very different in terms of the materials and processes I use, but I am still worried the new line may "dilute" the worth of the old line.

Thoughts? Should I increase the price of the less expensive items by a few dollars so things stay more consistent, but still offer price variation? or is having a price range of $16-68 in one shop okay?

Thanks in advance :)

Kat, love your work! I don't think less expensive items will detract from your higher price items. Excellent quality inexpensive items would be an asset in your shop.

I think that it's a good idea to have different price points in a shop and some variety.
I'd go ahead and do it without changing the prices of your higher end items. You can always make changes later.

I agree with Bev. I'd keep your current items priced as they are, and add the less expensive items, making sure that you price them so that you are making a profit. Can't wait to see them - you have great taste!

I agree with Bev, Judy, & Pam. Also, you can differentiate the new line in your product titles & within your shop.

Beautiful work!

Having a less expensive line is a great way to bring new buyers into your shop (those that can't afford the higher priced items).
