How to set a fair price?

Welcome to episode 4 of our video series in partnership with Les Pies Bavardes! Melanie gives her caring advice and the elements you need to run a stable and viable project in order to grow your creative business.

As a reminder of her previous videos:

In her last video, Melanie explained how to calculate a fair pricefor her creations (episode #3). A very thorny subject for many designers!

Making a simple calculation is within everyone's reach. But that would be too easy because setting a price does not only involve numbers. Setting a price is not only the result of a kind of economic reality, but also an emotional reality.

And this emotional aspect is directly linked to your relationship with money. That's the problem... Because it is this emotional aspect that prevents you from putting the right price on your creations. And it is also this emotional baggage that makes you think that your creations are too expensive.

The emotional baggage around the price of your creations comes from different sources:

  • the environment: the education you received, the weight of life... can influence you.
  • and especially self-esteem: fear of being criticized, fear of being judged, not assuming high prices, thinking that your work is not worth much...

Setting a fair price can have an impact on you, on your emotions and make you feel uncomfortable. To set a good price, you have to get rid of this emotional baggage by working on yourself and overcoming your own limiting beliefs. The goal you need to keep in mind is the profitability and sustainability of your business. If your prices are too low, your business may fail. Easy to say, isn't it? But not impossible to do! The solution? Cut the guilt of selling at the right price. To do this, you have to learn to put aside your emotional baggage and boost your self-esteem!

Moreover, this emotional baggage makes us make mountains out of mountains: in fact, for the middle and upper classes who buy handcrafted creations, the price is not the main criterion of purchase. It only comes in 3rd place for the middle classes and 5th place for the upper classes (according to a study conducted by Pies Bavardes in 2020). So let's play it down!

Now you know everything about the emotional price. We'll see you in a new episode of Pies Bavardes. See you soon!

Je n'ai pas encore monté mon entreprise. Mais je me suis lancé dans la création de bijoux, pour la plupart des pièces uniques que j'envisage de de vendre dès que j'aurais créé mon entreprise. OK, j'arrive à peu près à calculer le prix des matériaux. Mais après, je suis complètement paumée. Il y a des frais qui viendront en complément (frais divers, impôts, URSSAF...), j'en ai bien conscience. Mais combien ? Et puis, il y a le temps passé non seulement à créer mais aussi à trouver des idées originales. Comment le rémunérer ? Combien vendre mes bijoux aussi ? Aucune idée !
D'un côté je suis tentée de me dire que je ne vais pas quand même les brader. De l'autre, je crains effectivement qu'en les mettant à leur juste prix, je risque de ne pas pouvoir les vendre.
Les deux vidéos de Mélanie que je viens de visionner m'ont apporté si ce n'est des réponses, au moins des orientations. Et le coaching ? Pourquoi pas.
En tout cas merci à Mélanie pour ses précieux conseils.
