Janet Bernasconi says: Excellent tips on how to transform your old product into a new one. I normally do all the things listed here. I create handmade accent pillows and if they don’t sell I update them with a little bling or add a bit of lace and next thing you know it sells. I think an update to your website is great too. And I also think it’s a good idea to show your some of your products on your homepage. This way customers get a first glance at what you offer. I have seen awesome slideshows on different sites listed on their homepage and it catches my attention. I am working on that for my site now and will see where it takes me.
Have a great day and thanks Sarah for such having such an informative site. ;-D
Hugs,

Great ideas in here! I enjoyed reading what other people have actually done, versus just a bunch of “you should’s”.
Thank you so much for all of your ideas. I have so much to think about, deciding on what direction would be best for my business.

Do you know how to set the right price for your product line? Lordy knows I sure didn’t when I first started my handbag line. But once I learned the correct way to do it, I never mispriced anything again! Now I want to share this method with you so you can be profitable and not wonder why you can’t pay yourself.
It took me years to figure out how to set the right price for my product line when I first started out, so I can imagine you might be in the same situation. If you are not sure if you are making any money, then there is a good chance you’re not pricing your products correctly.
Proper costing is the lifeline to your business and profitability. Taking into consideration and finding all the hidden costs, is the key. So many people forget little things that they add up and then BOOM, you are not making any money. Once you have the actual cost (cost of goods sold) then it is easy to figure out the wholesale and retail prices so you are always making money.
I’d love to share this formula with you. It totally saved my rear when I was in year 3….. Just thinking of all that lost money in the first 2 years…. I want to cry!
Drop me a comment with “PRICED FOR PROFIT” and I’ll reach out and connect with you.
What is your fashion signature piece?
