Pricing your product
Know Your Worth
How do I price my product?
🔍 Know Your Market
- Scope out similar drops on Zaka, social media, street markets, and other online spots
- Compare materials, quality & vibes
- Don’t forget your unique sauce – is it handmade? Limited edition? That’s the value.
🧮 Count Your Costs
- Time is money – include hours spent crafting, designing, creating
- Add materials, packaging, delivery, platform fees, tools, etc.
- If you’re registered for VAT, include that too
📈 Profit Formula
Selling Price = Total Costs + Profit
Your goal is to make money and make moves. Adjust depending on your crowd and demand.
- Your price isn’t permanent. Change it if you’re getting clicks but no buys
- Offer promo codes, seasonal discounts, or bundle deals
- Consider building delivery into your price so you can say “FREE SHIPPING” loud and proud
- Reward your Day Ones with loyalty perks
Zakatip: Don’t undersell your work. If you bring heat, charge like it.
Do I need to charge VAT?
