Any Honest Thoughts on my Prices?

[Former_Member]

I have only hadmy shop up for two months, so I am rather new but was wondering what your first impressions are of my prices.

Beautiful work! I'm not too sure on the prices of your art, since I don't really buy or sell much of that. For jewelry, however, you may be underpricing some of your items. $10 for a necklace maybe lead me to questioning the quality of your items. I'm sure that that's not the case, but maybe raise the prices 5-10 dollars more. As for the clothing, I think that $11 dollars is quite cheap, I would suggest something around 15-20 dollars. Remember, don't undersell yourself!(:

Wishing you many sales to come,

I agree with Salma. Your jewelry in particular is really underpriced. It's very classy jewelry but you sort of diminish it by not charging enough. I wish you all good things. -Nancy

Thank you for all your advice, and especially you, stonemage!

I don't know if you've changed your prices since getting the advice from others, but I agree. I think you could go up a few dollars on your jewelry. You have hemp bracelets priced for $5- honestly you could easily charge like $12 and it would still seem very reasonable. I also couldn't resist buying from you while I was checking your prices... now I just need to decide if I'm keeping it for myself or gifting it to my daughter :)

Thank you very much, I did up them slightly, I think I will keep the prices here for now. Sterling pieces are priced considerably higher than silver plated. And the necklace you got is a fav of mine, really nice.

There's a weird phenomenon that occurs when you price things too low- people aren't as attracted to them- they are more attracted to higher-priced items because it seems more "exclusive". Try raising them for a few weeks and see what happens! If items are priced too low, a person will think the artist doesn't value their work.
