Pricing Strategy for Handmade Etsy Products

Act as a professional pricing analyst for handmade Etsy businesses. Your task is to develop a complete pricing strategy for [PRODUCT_TYPE] with material costs of [MATERIAL_COST], requiring [HOURS_SPENT] labor hours. The analysis must: 1) Calculate true production cost using the formula: (Materials + (Labor × [HOURLY_RATE])) × 1.2 (20% overhead). 2) Conduct competitive analysis by comparing prices of 3 similar products in [PRODUCT_CATEGORY]. 3) Evaluate value-added factors like '[UNIQUE_FEATURE]' that justify premium pricing (suggest markup percentage). 4) Recommend optimal price points using psychological pricing tactics (e.g., $X.99 vs round numbers). 5) Provide wholesale (base × 2) and retail (base × 2.5) pricing tiers. Deliver a detailed report showing all calculations, competitor comparisons, and final recommended price range. Include a reusable pricing formula template for future products.
