How to price enamel pins?
If you're wondering how to price an enamel pin, you're in luck! Let's break it down.
There is no doubt that Custom enamel pins are our most popular type of patch. This iconic patch type is made of enamel and metal materials, is of high quality both in look and feel, and can support designs in more than 10 colors. On top of that, you can easily make a lot of money by customizing enamel pins.
If you are unsure of the price of an enamel pin, don't worry. We love this question and get asked a lot! In short, we like to answer this question because we like to know (in a small part) that we are involved in making your business dreams come true.
But before we dive into that, please know that you've chosen a great product to start selling. Enamel pins are cheap to make, but have a good markup value, and they are also very cheap to store and transport. They may be the best custom goods for new businesses!
Our recommendations for embroidery patch pricing
It all starts with research. Find out what your competitors are selling enamel pins for. In addition to checking out the obvious competitors, we also recommend checking out Etsy. Even if you don't plan to sell your pins on the Etsy platform, this is a good place to refer to for pricing.
Of course, we also recommend checking out well-known retail outlets like Journeys and Urban Outfitters to see what their pricing is like. You never want to price yourself too low! If you have savvy marketing and a clean, eye-catching design, you'll be surprised to find yourself able to compete with these big retailers.
If you are not an e-commerce store, you should also keep in mind the stores around your physical store. You always need to know what the stores around you are selling the same product for - whether it's pins, stickers, hats, or any other custom item. So, in that case...
Let's look at the numbers
Our basic quotation for enamel pins is 200 pins at only $0.60 each. However, this is our absolute minimum pricing, with no special options and add-ons. This is the cheapest design option. Pricing will change the cost of the specifications you want to add as well as the number of orders.Of course, you'll want to make more money back, and the good news is that $0.60 per patch will leave you plenty of profit margin. Pins offer extremely high sticker prices, and you can easily sell your pins for $4 to $15 per patch (depending on size, soft and hard enamel, and any special options). If you make your pins as "Special Edition" custom pins, you may be able to sell them for a higher price. It all depends on your marketing and design choices.So if you sell all 200 pins at the minimum price above ($4.00), you will still make $800. At a price of $0.60 per patch, you only have to spend about $120 to buy the patch, so you can save $680! This is a good return on your investment, and only the lowest price points are used.
