My idea is a coffee shop
*Consider the risks may I will have it.
*Price your product or service:
Knowing the difference between cost, price and value can increase profitability:
• the cost of your product or service is the amount you spend to produce it
• the price is your financial reward for providing the product or service
• the value is what your customer believes the product or service is worth to them
For example, the cost for a plumber to fix a burst pipe at a customer’s home may be £5 for travel, materials costing £2.50 and an hour’s labour at £10. However, the value of the service to the customer – who may have water leaking all over their house – is far greater than the £17.50 cost, so the plumber may decide to charge a total of £50.
Pricing should be in line with the value of the benefits that your business provides for its customers, while also bearing in mind the prices your competitors charge.
