The Product Boss with Jacqueline Snyder

Are you worried that you have to keep your prices low to compete with big box stores, overseas sellers, or platforms like Temu? In this episode, I’m breaking down why the end of the $800 de minimis exemption could create new opportunities for product-based businesses while also affecting the costs of some imports. I talk about why you shouldn’t compete on price, how your brand and customer experience can set you apart, and why raising your prices could actually help you sell more. I also share what to look at now to protect your profitability and prepare for what’s ahead. Tune in to learn how to protect your profitability, strengthen your brand, and build a product business that doesn't depend on being the cheapest option.
