Should You Lower Your Prices?

Should you drop the price of your product to match or even go lower than your competitors, or even go lower than or match Amazon prices so that you can sell more? That was one of the questions I got from my students. I think some of you are actually having the same question.Maybe you've looked at products that you want to sell and you're like “I'm not going to be able to make any money if I price match that. And so I just don't want to sell it because I'm not about to work for free,” and I'm with you right there. I don’t want you to be a volunteer in your own business. You should be making money. That's what businesses do.Maybe you have that feeling that you have to continually drop prices in your online store to beat out the competition or you won't make any sales.Well, I get that feeling. I actually get that feeling way too much. But if you look at the big picture on the way of this thinking, it's like a rat race to the bottom where someone will be willing to beat you out on the price.And I say: “Let them - they can work for pennies. You are worth way more than that.” Stay tuned as I show you in this episode that the race to the bottom is never the solution to online sales success - It all comes down to delivering what I call the concert experience.Key Takeaways:When you feel you have to continually drop prices in your online store… (6:41)They can work for pennies.
