How much precent will we need to added to our products so that we can at least see a profit or how to increase our shipping cost.
Okay, let’s make sure you’re not just selling, but profitably selling! Start by figuring out exactly how much each product costs you – that includes what you pay your supplier, any shipping fees to get it to you, those pesky tariffs, and even the little fees your payment processor charges. Then, decide on your desired profit margin (like 20-30%).
Here’s an example:
Product Costs:
- Product from Supplier: $20
- Shipping from Supplier: $5
- Tariffs: $3
- Transaction Fees: $2
=> Total Cost: $30
- Desired Profit Margin: Let’s say you want a 25% profit margin.
- Calculating Your Selling Price: 25% of $30 is $7.50
=> Your Selling Price: $30 + $7.50 = $37.50
For shipping:
Calculate your actual shipping expenses, see what competitors charge, and consider offering tiered shipping options. You might need to add a small markup to your shipping costs, but be transparent with customers to avoid cart abandonment.
The key is to know your numbers and adapt as costs change! This isn’t just about making a sale, it’s about building a sustainable business!
