Pricing for Profit

Do you struggle with pricing your products? Are you confused about how much to pay yourself per hour and how much profit you should be making?  Have you ever wondered what the difference between your wholesale price and your retail price should be?  Are you worried that if you charge what really like to be making, no one will buy your products?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you aren’t alone.  Many makers and craftspeople struggle with effectively pricing their products.

Which is why I’ve put together this digital workshop to help take the guesswork out of pricing your products.

The Pricing for Profit Digital Workshop is a self-study course that walks you through the process of pricing your products and helps you better understand the value your products provide. (So that you can charge more for them!)

The digital workshop consists of 4 parts:

  • Video tutorials that walk you through the basics of pricing your products.
  • A PDF transcript of the videos.
  • Eight worksheets to guide you through pricing your products.
  • And, a password protected page where you can view and submit frequently asked questions about pricing your products.

I’ve created two 15 minute videos to walk you through my pricing philosophy.  The first video looks at my basic pricing formula, and walks you through the steps to use that formula to price your products.  In the second video, we’ll be focusing on market and value based pricing – how to set prices based on the value your product provides to the customer.  And I’m including a bonus third video that shows you how to use the worksheets.  When you buy Pricing for Profit, you’ll have access to a secure page where you can view the videos online or download them to your computer.

I’ve also created a PDF of the video transcripts if you prefer to read rather than listen.  There’s ample room in the margins if you want to print the transcripts out and take notes.

The core of the Pricing for Profit Digital Workshop are the pricing worksheets.  These are worksheets you can use to price new products, existing products, and anything else you want to price!  You can print them out again and again to ensure that you’re pricing each new product to make a profit.

And finally, I’ve created a special page where you can submit any questions you might have about pricing your products.  Confused on something you read?  Not sure if something I said applies to you?  You’ll be able to ask questions on the private page, as well as view questions submitted by others.  Even though the workshop is self-study, I want to make sure you don’t walk away with a single question!

After working through the Pricing for Profit Digital Workshop, you’ll be able to:

  • Calculate the true costs of your products so you can set a price that’s profitable!
  • Feel confident in the amount of profit you should add to each product.
  • Know how your pricing fits in with existing products on the market.
  • Articulate the value of your products so you can charge the best price.
  • And so much more!

The Pricing for Profit Digital Workshop is your guide to pricing with ease and confidence.

Pricing for Profit is just $29.  That’s a small investment that could bring big changes to the profit you make in your business.

Like most creative entrepreneurs, you’d love to see your business grow.  Maybe you dream about seeing your products in magazines, major stores, or having a widely successful e-commerce site.  Or perhaps you dream about quitting your day job or supporting your family with the income from your creative business.  Perhaps you’ve even written down a few goals about where you’d like to see your business go.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

It’s great to have goals and dreams, but if you want to truly see your business grow, you need to create a plan.  The CMBA Business Growth Planner isn’t about ambiguous goals.  It’s about creating a concrete plan to help you see real, financial results.

This 20-page workbook will take you through four steps to grow your business:

  1. Analyze your current numbers.
  2. Set goals.
  3. Create a plan.
  4. Take action.

In step one, you’ll break down your current numbers so you have a greater understanding of where you’re actually making money.  You’ll look at how much money each revenue stream brings in each month to give you a better understanding of what’s possible.

In step two, you’ll set goals for your business.  These goals are concrete projections about how much you’d like to grow your sales, and when you’d like to get there.

In step three, you’ll create a plan to help you grow sales for each of your revenue streams.

Finally, step four is where it all comes together.  This is the part where you move beyond the workbook and start implementing your plan in the real world.  But to help you, there’s a weekly planner for keeping track of tasks to help you grow each revenue stream. spacer

The CMBA Business Growth Planner is available now for just $10.  Payment can be made easily through PayPal using your PayPal account or credit card, and you’ll instantly be emailed a link to download the book.  Just click the “Buy Now” button on the right to make your secure purchase.

spacer The Crafting an MBA Guide to Wholesale and Trade Shows is a comprehensive guide to helping you build your wholesale business.  Are you interested in selling your products to stores, but have no idea where to start?  Do you want to do a trade show, but are intimidated by the thought?  Are you wondering what things like “Net 30″ or “keystone” mean?  Have you started selling your products wholesale, but haven’t had the success you were looking for?  Then this ebook is for you!

Part 1 covers all the information you need to dive into wholesale.  It covers successful pricing, choosing the right products, setting your wholesale terms, developing your wholesale materials (like line sheets and order forms), and contacting potential stores.

Part 2 includes all the information you need to tackle trade shows with confidence.  It covers everything from choosing and applying to shows, booth design, pre-show promotion, and what to do when you’re at the show.

View the Table of Contents!

The CMBA Guide to Wholesale and Trade Shows includes over 50 pages of information I wish I’d known when I did my first trade show.  In fact, it’s packed with all the information I’ve learned after exhibiting at numerous trade shows and building my own wholesale business.  I’ve spent thousands of dollars exhibiting at trade shows and learning as I go along, and now I want to share what I’ve learned with you.

Wholesaling is a great way to grow your business.  Since I began wholesaling, I’ve developed a more consistent revenue stream and a more predictable production schedule.  Want to know more about how wholesaling can benefit your business?  Check out Chapter 1: Why wholesale?
