Never project your own income level and lifestyle into pricing your leather goods . Never be afraid to upgrade your prices .
You have thousands of people on instagram trying to compete with each other with lower prices for leatherwork that should be double or triple the price .
The days of you trying to price compete is over , let the thousands of other leather crafters fight over dropping their goods to low , when they go low you go high . There is a market for high price quality products , just imagine you selling the same product as everyone else , but their prices are low and the same as the others , but you are the one to have the courage to double your price , that customer will buy the expensive item because they will think because the price is higher it must be something better than the others , even if they can,t see what that difference is , there is a market for expensive items , you just have to have the courage to pull the trigger .
It is very easy to view the world in economic terms befitting your own life and circumstances. Remember that there are people out there whose perception of value and a fair price are radically different than our own. Don't fence yourself out of those markets by assuming that everyone thinks and feels as you do.
I see so many extraordinary pieces of artisanship craft leather goods . I often wonder how many of these goods are being sold for way less than they could or should have netted. Think above your own station. It usually pays handsomely.
