Pricing boundaries
Do you ever haggle or negotiate prices at your booth?
Set your floor price and allowed deals ahead of time so friendly requests don’t drain profit.
Decide your rules before the market opens. Set a non-negotiable floor price that covers costs and margin, then choose the discounts you’ll allow (if any).
Controlled discounts
- Bundle/volume: “10% off 2” or “3 for $25.”
- End-of-day: a planned markdown for clearing leftover stock.
- No-haggle items: keep new or special pieces at firm prices.
Keep a quick reference
Note your floor price by item and stick to it. A friendly “Sorry, that’s my lowest, but I can do a bundle deal” keeps goodwill without improvising. Boundaries protect profit and make every “maybe” easier to handle.
