@die1012 hi! so i think any cute quick and easy patterns you make will sell great! like the greek wave for example, its easy, quick to make, and looks really nice! as for a price, i usually think about how much the supplies cost and how long it took to make. (like if i each spool of embroidery floss cost me 50 cents and its 2 meters long and i use 1 meter of the string then the minimum price should be 25 cents per string i use, then just add a dollar or two for every two hours it takes me to make the bracelet) or instead you can just make each bracelet from 1-5 dollars depending on the difficulty it is to make (like if it takes you a couple of minutes to make a candy stripe and you could crank out many, you could sell those on the cheaper end/if you sell alphas and those take longer to make and you'd probably have less in stock so in my opinion you should make bracelets that are harder to make or are like an alpha you should make those more pricy.(also im kind of a beginner myself so if you don't like my strategy, my feelings won't be hurt if you don't follow or use them!) ok i tried to help so byeee! ❤️ 🎉 |

@die1012 I also sell bracelets. I have a algorithm I use to price. I start with my number of strings multiplied by an estimated decimal price. Then multiply that by hours. Example would be 12 (#of strings) x .30 (price of strings, 30 cents) x 4 (hours. That gets me to roughly $14. Now you can tweak that rough price to what you think. For me, this example is based off pattern #128516, and for that specific pattern I’d -$2-3 from my calculated price. That’s really it! Hope this helps!

@idk_man- but doesn't that put the amount of strings into your multiplication twice?The amount of strings affects not only the amount of strings but also the time you spend. Let's stick with your example 12 x .30 x 4 = 14.4 if you had a 24 string bracelet, you'd probably need almost double the time: 24 x .30 x 8 = 57.6 That's 4 times the previous amount, because two of your factors have doubled. I believe that it should be amount of strings x price per string + hours of work x hourly wage You could for example do 12 x .30 + 4 x 2.5 = 13,6 to get a similar result for 12 strings 24 strings would then be 24 x .30 + 8 x 2.5 = 27,2 which would be exactly twice the amount |

@halokiwi I hadn’t thought of that, I’m just getting started with selling, so I appreciate the feedback!

I have been selling for a couple of years! I use depop for majority of online a sales but I also sell in person. I up charge on customs and everything else is typically around 3-15 i just kinda guess on prices. I charge more online then in person though

Looking for recommendations on what platform to use to sell bracelets! Seems like a lot of creators use Etsy?

look up similar bracelets on places like etsy and see what they're charging. If they're charging $8 for example, you wouldn't want to undersell yourself at $4, but you also don't want to charge a lot more like $12. try and keep it around the market price for the type of pattern. you can absolutely charge more for customs since they are unique to the person and if nobody else is making them. name bracelets are a good way to do customs

I think you should start off easy and sell your bracelets from 3-4$, try setting up a stand outside your house and sell the bracelets like that. Personally, that's how I would do it! 🎉

It seems to me that it is best to sell paired bracelets because now there are a lot of pairs walking on the street. you can make, for example, the same pattern but in different colors
