The Art of pricing

Building a pricing strategy that is hurting you is not healthy. There are things you must consider in starting and growing your business -- as a small business your price drives your bottom line big time. What should you consider?

1. Cover your costs no matter what.

2. Analyze of competition and products/services. Where do you stand in that analysis.

3. Examine and think about your products and services. 

4. Consider streamlining and packaging strategically.

Here are two articles about pricing from the New York Times and Small Biz Trends.
