Set your prices
One of the hardest parts of selling is setting prices.
It’s important to calculate your cost, including delivery cost. We suggest you understand you cost before you set your prices.
-Determine your “free delivery” area or what is the minimum amount they need to spend to offer a free delivery.
-Don’t copy prices form other farmers. Quality and fast delivery add value to your products.
-Get to know your costumers to offer special deals at the right time.
-Use discounts to attract customers.
