So im just trying to vent as im frustrated. My buisiness partner (also my wife) like to charge as much as humanly possible, to much i think. We started selling one product where she would always want to way over charge and it was a constant fight as i believed we charged fairly. Now we are selling a speciallty coffee, hand made components and all that. We originally charged $4 for 1 pot of premeasured coffee mix and she started telling our sales potential it was $5. Ok so i was fine. Now she was playing with our e-commerce pages and charged $7 per pot and she said thats fine. Im frustrated because she has this attitude of overcharging because she wants all the money, not trying to get brand recognition first then slowly raising or even be happy making what we are making. Im frustrated because no matter what buisiness we try doing she wants to charge double the top dollar because she wants all the money and it leads to arguing

Perception of value is tied to the price tag, if you are selling "special " coffee but it's too cheap people will be suspicious of it.

I put my prices up 4 times since I started and I get more sales now than when it was cheaper, same product, same service.

The bottom line is that you can always put the price back down if it doesn't work but if it does then forget about fairly, you are running a business not a charity and you want to attract people who has money and wants to spend it.
