Why This Course

Since 2015 I have been meeting with clients, both in person at Detroit Sewn, my factory in Michigan, and virtually all over the country. Time and time again I have found that whether they come to me with an idea in their head, or with patterns and prototypes already in hand, most of them don’t know how to price their products. This is a question I ask early on in our first meeting, as the answer is crucial to everything that comes next. When I ask: “What price will your target audience pay for this product?” most of them reply: “It depends how much it costs to make.” That answer will get you into trouble financially. In this course, I’ll not only explain why, I’ll also show you how to properly price your products so that you can have the sales model(s) you want and make your profit margin.
