PRICING STRATEGY
There are lots of variables that go into pricing your merchandise: your costs, overhead expenses, and what your competition is charging, to name just a few. Pricing strategies can be complex but the basic rules are straightforward. Your price must cover costs and give you profits. Review your prices often to make sure they’re still in line with your costs, demand, competition, and profit objectives.
When making an investment for your T-shirt business, calculate the payoff to better understand your ROI. For example, if a press costs £1540* and comes with a 5-year warranty, your annual cost to own the heat press is £308 per year. *Based on a Hotronix® 360 Hat Heat Press.
THE PAYOFF
To figure out how many sales you will need to pay off the cost of your heat press, take the total cost of heat printing tools and divide it by the profit per item. Follow this example to break it down further:
