Pricing yoga wear requires balancing market expectations, brand positioning, and profit margins. Get it right, and your business thrives. Get it wrong, and either sales suffer or you lose money.
Pricing Fundamentals
The Pricing Formula
Understanding the math:
- COGS = Manufacturing + Shipping + Duties
- Landed Cost = COGS + Customs + Inland Freight
- Wholesale Price = Landed Cost × 2-2.5
- MSRP = Wholesale × 2-2.5
- Retail Price = Your selling price
Typical Margin Structure
| Channel | Markup | Margin |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale | 2x | 50% |
| MSRP | 4-5x from cost | 75-80% |
| Direct-to-Consumer | 3-4x from cost | 65-75% |
