How we price our products.
**How We Price Our Products: A Look Behind the Scenes**
At our small business, we believe in offering beautifully crafted, high-quality products at fair and transparent prices. We understand that pricing can sometimes feel like a mystery, so we want to give you a closer look at how we determine the cost of our products—from the materials we use to the time and effort put into creating each piece.
**The Materials We Use**
One of the key factors in our pricing is the materials themselves. For our floral products, we use a combination of bulk floral, collected floral, and as well as our entomology pieces including ethically sourced specimens. We often source flowers and specimens that have been naturally collected and then carefully dried—either by us or through trusted third-party partners. By working directly with nature and using these preserved flowers, we’re able to offer unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate the beauty of the natural world. This also allows us to keep our material costs lower than if we were sourcing flowers that have been heavily cultivated or processed.
We also purchase vials in bulk to house our floral arrangements. Buying in bulk helps us reduce the overall cost, which in turn allows us to pass those savings on to you. All of these cost-saving practices are part of our effort to provide you with the highest-quality products at a reasonable price.
**A Transparent Pricing Calculator**
To ensure our pricing is accurate and fair, we use a detailed pricing calculator to break down the cost of each product. This tool factors in the exact number of pieces used, from the number of flowers to the amount of moss, glass, and other materials. We also factor in the time it takes to create each piece—everything from the careful selection of flowers to the final arrangement and packaging.
By using this method, we are able to calculate precise material costs and understand the true cost of labor for each product. It’s important to us that our customers are aware of the effort and thought that goes into each piece, and we’re committed to offering prices that reflect the actual value of the work we do.
**Our Belief in Fair Pricing**
As a small business, we know the importance of being mindful of our customers’ budgets. While many small businesses feel pressure to inflate prices to cover costs or compete with larger companies, we do not believe that being small gives us the right to charge exorbitantly high rates—especially when the average cost of our materials remains relatively low.
We believe in a fair and balanced approach to pricing. Yes, we take into account the time it takes to create each product and the expertise required, but we also remain committed to keeping our prices accessible. We believe that beauty and quality should be affordable, and we strive to make that a reality for everyone who shops with us.
**In Conclusion**
Ultimately, the way we come up with our pricing boils down to a mix of thoughtful sourcing, meticulous production, and a strong desire to provide value to our customers. By using ethically collected flowers, buying vials in bulk, and calculating material and labor costs with precision, we ensure that our products are priced in a way that is both fair to you and sustainable for our business.
We’re passionate about what we do, and we want to continue offering you the very best without over-inflating costs. Thank you for supporting our small business—we’re grateful to have you as part of our community!
