In this regard, we have three tips for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test-prices-in-the-early-stage\"><\/span>Test prices in the early stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For a startup<strong>, testing prices in the early stage <\/strong>is crucial because it is what allows you to understand whether your proposed product or service actually has market demand. In practical terms, at this stage you can find out whether the product solves a real problem and whether the target audience is interested and willing to pay the amount you have identified.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Importance-of-Customer-Feedback\"><\/span>The Importance of Customer Feedback<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Customer feedback <\/strong>is very important in the early stage phase of a startup, that is, when the focus is to identify, precisely through consumer input, the right product\/market fit that will enable the first revenues to be earned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adjust-the-price-to-grow-without-losing-sustainability\"><\/span>Adjust the price to grow without losing sustainability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The identified sales price is not final: based on the aforementioned customer feedback, but also in relation to sales data, you can (must!) <strong>adjust the price <\/strong>so as to ensure the sustainable growth of your startup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mark-up-what-it-is-and-why-it-can-make-your-life-easier\"><\/span>Mark-up: what it is and why it can make your life easier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is now time to introduce the concept of <strong>mark-up<\/strong>, a profit indicator that is used to better calculate the correct sales price when <a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/product-test-how-to-prepare-for-the-launch\/\">testing a product<\/a>, considering fixed unit costs, variable costs, and the expected profit margin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference-between-mark-up-and-margin\"><\/span>Difference between mark-up and margin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although both are indicators of profit, there is a <strong>difference between mark-up and margin<\/strong>: the former is based on cost, while the latter is based on selling price. Mark-up can be defined as the difference between selling price and production cost or as the specific percentage that is added to cost to find the correct selling price. Margin, on the other hand, is the percentage of profit on the selling price or, more accurately, the percentage of the selling price that should be considered as profit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-find-and-tweak-the-right-price\"><\/span>How to find (and tweak) the right price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We cannot conclude this guide on how to calculate the sales price without taking a closer look at one aspect and, that is, <strong>how to find (and tweak) the right price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing-the-elasticity-of-demand\"><\/span>Testing the elasticity of demand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To tweak the price in search of the correct one, you need to test the price <strong>elasticity of demand. <\/strong>This is a particular indicator that measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a product or service to a percentage change in price. It is a pure number and does not depend on the unit of measurement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review-the-price-over-time\"><\/span>Review the price over time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keep in mind that <strong>revising the selling price over time <\/strong>is important not only to adjust the price itself to new market conditions. You should do so, in fact, also to increase the perception of the value of the product or service in the eyes of consumers and prevent them from coming to no longer perceive it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you want to read all the articles related to the stage your startup is in?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#Take_the_plunge\"><strong>Take the plunge<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#Take_the_first_steps\"><strong>Take the first steps<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#How_to_start_a_startup\"><strong>How to start a startup<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b-plannow.com\/en\/how-to-start-a-successful-startup-and-make-it-work\/#How_to_grow_a_startup\"><strong>How to grow a startup<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to calculate the selling price of your products, don&#8217;t miss this guide dedicated to pricing.
