Aim Higher For Your Hobby.

Setting prices low isn’t the only pricing tactic available for a reptile breeder and, in fact, it might be the worst.

I've noticed an uptick in firesales and shutdowns as of late and I know that as a reptile keeper it can be an incredibly difficult time in the Canadian reptile hobby.

What happens when you don't charge market value for your animals:

1. You're devaluing your product, your time, your brand and your reputation.
2. You're attracting the wrong customers
3. You're not making as much money as you could be
4. You're not providing value to your customers
5. It's hard to maintain quality when you charge low prices
6. People will take advantage of you if you charge low prices
7. People will think your product is low quality
8. It's hard to make a profit when you charge low prices
9. You'll have to work twice as hard to make the same amount of money
10. Customers will expect discounts in the future which can be difficult to turn down.

Offering the lowest price is not a good marketing strategy and there are several reasons why. First of all, it cuts into your profits. If you have to continually offer lower prices than your competitors, the increased sales you’ll get could be worthless because you’re still earning less revenue.

Second, what if someone undercuts you? Larger breeders and reptile wholesalers have a huge advantage when it comes to undercutting. They can afford to take a small loss if it means long-term gains. You can’t.

Instead, you should charge well for your products. There are several ways you can set your prices higher and still make sales.

Price-setting isn’t based on actual cost but on perceived value. Perceived value is what your customers expect to pay for products such as yours. If you can grasp that perceived value is totally different from cost, this makes pricing high much easier.

For example, in the 1990s, a CD sold for $14 new. Never mind that it’s a plastic disc with data imprinted on it whose actual material and production costs were a couple of dollars. People expected to pay $14, so record companies could charge it.

So, how do you use perceived value to your advantage? You do it by understanding what your market perceives as valuable. In other words, what qualities of your product would lead your customers to pay higher prices?

Emphasize Uniqueness

Figure out what’s unique about your animals. Does this help or provide value to your customers in a way your competitors’ products do not? Your product doesn’t have to be the best at what it does, but rather the only product that uniquely meets its buyers’ needs.

Maybe you’re targeting the wrong market. There is always a segment of the population that’s willing to pay a great deal for a high-quality product. If you can sell to this segment, you’ll have no problem setting your prices high. However, in order to do this, you have to convince this market that your product is high-quality. Identify this higher-paying market and do some research to see what companies they buy from and why.
