Assigning a price to our craft is a tricky exercise that requires balancing our need for profit with consumer’s desire for value. How can we ensure that we’re safely in the black while competing in crowded markets? In this insightful webinar, we’ll discover some of the most common pricing mistakes and explore strategies for effectively communicating our value to customers to command a premium price. Together we’ll learn:
- The psychology behind how customers assess a product’s value
- Why we need to put the customer (rather than your costs) in the driver’s seat
- How to create promotions without eroding your brand
- Strategies for positioning yourself at the upper end of the pricing spectrum

Awesome webinar! Thank you.
Love this webinar! This is exactly what I need right now. This lady knows her stuff and I have learned a lot!
She truly does! I’m so glad this was helpful to you.
This webinar was such a great watch! Thank you for suggesting it, Abby. Lela’s advice and perspective were brilliant, especially when she touched on including overhead, something I never thought about including (I only thought about the raw products and supplies). I am so much more informed than before.
I agree! This was a great session.
