Your US Price is Wrong — Probably Too Low

3 min read · Tags: pricing, strategy

The problem

You converted EUR to USD at spot rate and called it pricing. Now you're competing with no margin against US giants.

Our solution

We model channel-specific pricing (DTC vs Amazon vs wholesale), bake in 35-40% blended margin, and price by perceived value not by cost-plus.

US shoppers are less price-sensitive than EU

For premium goods, US willingness-to-pay is 15-30% higher than EU.

Margin floors before discounts

If your floor is 35%, you can run sales without going underwater.

Charm pricing still works

$49 outperforms $50 by 5-12% in most categories.
