recommendation is to *not* try to engage in a price war and try to
match the cheapest prices you find, or to undersell everybody.
Hello,
I've been lurking on the list for a while, but I just had to chirp in and
agree with that statement. Here is an experience I had his past summer at our
local farmers market with pricing, which is about 1/4 mile from a Super
Wal-mart. All my produce is grown organically, but I'm not certified, yet. So, I go
around to local grocery stores and markets to get an idea what organic and
non-organic is selling for, and then find a happy median for my pricing. Well,
this lady came to the farmers market and wanted to talk me down on the price
of my tomatoes. I wouldn't do it. She argued with me for a good 10 minutes
and I explained to her where my farm was and how the tomatoes were grown, etc.
She said would just go to Wal-mart and get them cheaper. She left, got to
the end of the street, turned around an came back to buy my tomatoes. I don't
know what changed her mind, but she must have thought mine tomatoes were
better, even if they weren't cheaper.
